Page 7: Your Widex Hearing Aid
YOUR WIDEX HEARING AID Welcome to Widex Congratulations on your new hearing aid. Use your hearing aid regularly, even if it takes some time getting used to it. Infrequent users don’t usually get the full benefit of a hearing aid. - Page 8 Your hearing aid at a glance The illustration shows your hearing aid without the ear-set. For fur- ther information on the ear-set see the ear-set manual. The ear-set consists of a tube and an ear-tip or earmould, and it is the part of your hearing aid that you wear inside your ear.

Page 9: Important Safety Information
Important safety information Read these pages carefully before you begin using your hearing aid. Hearing aids and batteries can be dangerous if swallowed or used improperly. Swallowing or improper use can result in se- vere injury or even fatalities. In case of ingestion, contact a doc- tor immediately. - Page 10 Never use other people’s hearing aids and never allow others to use yours, as this could damage your hearing. Never use your hearing aids in environments where there may be explosive gases, such as in mines, etc. Keep hearing aids, their parts, accessories and batteries away from children.
- Page 11 Your hearing aids should be stored and transported within the tem- perature and humidity ranges of -18°C to +40°C (-0,4°F to 104°F) and 10%-95% rH. Storage and transportation up to 60°C (140°F) with 10%-95% rH can be accepted in shorter periods (duration of max. of 2 weeks).

Page 13: The Battery
The battery For FA: use a type 312 zinc-air battery. For FP: use a type 13 zinc-air battery. Always use a fresh, new battery that is precisely the kind recom- mended by your hearing care professional. NOTE Check that the battery is completely clean and free of any residue be- fore inserting it in the hearing aid. - Page 14 Low battery indication When the battery is flat, a sound signal will play. If the battery drains suddenly there may however be no warning. We recom- mend carrying a spare battery with you wherever you go. Changing the battery To change the battery, do as follows: Take the adhesive tab off the new battery and make sure there is no sticky substance left on it.
- Page 15 Use the nail grip to gently swing the battery door open and re- move the old battery. Now place the new battery in the drawer as shown. Close the draw- er. If it doesn't close easily, the battery is not placed correctly. If you are not using the hearing aid for a few days, remove the battery.
