Warnings
• Batteries have occasionally been mistaken for pills. Therefore check your medicine
carefully before swallowing any pills.
• Never put your hearing instrument or batteries in your mouth for any reason, as they
are slippery and could be swallowed by accident.
• Most hearing instruments can be supplied with a tamper-resistant battery
compartment upon request. This is strongly recommended for infants, small children,
and people with learning difficulties.
If a battery or hearing instrument is swallowed, see a doctor immediately and contact
the National Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222 or National Battery Ingestion Hotline
at 202-625-3333.
Battery use
• Always use batteries recommended by your Hearing Care Professional. Batteries of low
quality may leak and cause bodily harm.
• Never attempt to recharge your batteries. They may explode and cause serious injury.
• Never dispose of batteries by burning them. There is a risk that they will explode and
cause serious injury.
