General precautions

1. 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.
2. When using wireless functionality and the devices are affected by electromagnetic interference, move
away from the source.
3. Use only original GN ReSound consumables e.g. tubes and domes.
4. Never attempt to modify the shape of the hearing instrument, earmolds, or tubing yourself.
5. Only connect ReSound hearing instruments to ReSound accessories intended and qualified to be used
with ReSound hearing instruments.

General warnings

1. Special care should be exercised in selecting and fitting a hearing instrument(s) who's maximum sound
pressure level exceeds 132 dB SPL (with an IEC 60711:1981 occluded ear simulator), because there
may be a risk of impairing the remaining hearing of the hearing instrument user
2. Consult a hearing care professional if you discover a foreign object in your ear canal, if you experience
skin irritation, or if excessive ear wax accumulates with the use of the hearing instrument.
3. Different types of radiation, from e.g. NMR, MRI, or CT scanners, may damage hearing instruments. It
is recommended not to wear hearing instruments during these or other similar procedures. Other types
of radiation, such as burglar alarms, room surveillance systems, radio equipment, mobile telephones,
contain less energy and will not damage hearing instruments. However, they have the potential to
momentarily affect the sound quality or temporarily create strange sounds from hearing instruments.
4. Do not wear hearing instruments in mines, oil fields, or other explosive areas unless those areas are
certified for hearing instrument use.
