Warnings
Explosives
• The power source in your hearing instrument has insufficient energy to cause fire in
normal conditions of use. The hearing instrument has not been tested for compliance
with international standards concerning explosive atmospheres. It is recommended
not to use your hearing instrument in areas where there is a danger of explosions.
X-ray, CT, MR, PET scanning and electrotherapy
• Remove your hearing instrument during X-ray, CT / MR / PET scanning electrotherapy or
surgery, as your hearing instrument may be damaged when exposed to strong fields.
Power instrument
• Special care should be exercised in selecting, fitting and using a hearing instrument
where maximum sound pressure capability exceeds 132 dB SPL (IEC 711), as there may
be a risk of impairing the remaining hearing of the hearing instrument user.
Possible side effects
• Hearing instruments may cause an accelerated accumulation of ear wax.

Warnings
• The otherwise non-allergenic materials used in hearing instruments may, in rare cases,
cause a skin irritation or another unusual condition.
Please see a doctor if these conditions occur.
Interference
• Your hearing instrument has been thoroughly tested for interference, according to
the most stringent international standards. However, interference with your hearing
instrument and other devices may occur, for example with some mobile phones,
citizens band devices and shop alarm systems. If this occurs, increase the distance
between the hearing instrument and the device.
Wax filter
• If the instrument sound outlet is equipped with a ProWax filter, follow the directions
specified in the section "Replacing ProWax filter".
• Always use the same type of wax filter like that which was originally supplied with
the instrument.
If you are in any doubt about the use or replacement of wax filters, contact your Hearing
Care Professional.
