  • Page 53: Warnings…

    WARNINGS WARNING Hearing aids and batteries can be dangerous if swal lowed or used im- properly . Swallowing or improper use can result in severe injury or even fatalities . In case of ingestion, contact a physician immediately and the 24 Hour National Button Battery Ingestion Hotline at (202) 625-3333 .
  • Page 54 WARNING • Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type or recharged . Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions on the battery pack . • Never allow others to wear your hearing aid, as this could cause per- manent damage to their hear ing .
  • Page 55 . • Regular use of a de-humidifier is recommended to help avoid mal- function of the hearing aid . • Do not use Widex hearing aids in mines or other areas with explo- sive gases .
  • Page 56 WARNING • Do not wear your hearing aid during radiation, X-rays, MRIs, CT or other medical treatments and scans . The emis- sions from these procedures as well as from other types of radiation, such as that in a microwave oven, can dam- age your hearing aid and the hearing aid can become very hot .
  • Page 57 WARNING Interference with active Implants • In order to show caution, we advise to follow the guidelines recom- mended by manufacturers of defibrillators and pacemakers regard- ing use of cell phones: • If you wear an active implantable device keep the Wireless Hearing Aids and Hearing Aid Accessories such as wireless remote controls or communicators at least 15 cm/6 inches away from the implant .
  • Page 58 CAUTION • Your hearing aid has been tested for interference according to inter- national standards . Nevertheless, it is possible that unforeseen inter- ference may occur in the hearing aid due to electromagnetic radiation from other products such as alarm systems, room surveillance equip- ment and cell phones .

  • Page 59: Advice

    ADVICE NOTE • The hearing aid will not restore normal hearing and will not prevent or improve a hearing loss resulting from organic conditions . However, the hearing aid can help you to make the best possible use of your remaining hearing ability .
