General Precautions

• Wearing an instrument might cause an increased production of earwax. In rare cases, the anti-allergenic
materials may cause skin irritation. If so, or if in doubt, consult your physician or hearing care profes-
sional.
• For use of wireless functionality, only use Beltone Direct Line accessories. For further guidance, please
refer to the relevant Beltone Direct user guide.
• Only connect Beltone hearing instruments to Beltone accessories intended and qualifi ed to be used with
Beltone hearing instruments.
• When wireless function is activated, the device uses low-powered, digitally coded transmissions in
order to communicate with other wireless devices. Although unlikely, nearby electronic devices may be
affected. In that case, move the hearing instrument away from the affected electronic device.
• When using wireless functionality and the devices are affected by electromagnetic interference, move
away from the source interference.
• Use only original Beltone consumables, e.g. wax guards.
• Never attempt to modify the shape of the hearing instrument, shell, or tubing yourself.

fore, do not wear the instrument during these or other corresponding scanning procedures. Other types
