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.
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 im- properly. Swallowing or improper use can result in severe injury or even fatalities. In case of ingestion, contact your local emergency number or hospital immediately.

Your hearing aids are designed to operate within the temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure ranges of 0°C (32°F) to 50°C (122°F), 10%-95% rH and 750 to 1060 mBar. You can find technical data sheets and additional information on your hear- ing aids on https://global.widex.com.
THE HEARING AID Indications for use The devices are indicated for individuals with a range of hearing loss severi- ty from minimal (10 dB HL) to severe (90 dB HL) and all hearing loss config- urations. They are to be programmed by licensed hearing care professionals (audiol- ogists, hearing aid specialists, otolaryngologists) who are trained in hearing (re)habilitation.
NOTE Check that the battery is completely clean and free of any residue before insert- ing it in the hearing aid. Otherwise your hearing aid may not function as expec- ted. Never attempt to recharge your hearing aid batteries, as they could ex- plode.
1. Use the nail grip to gently swing the battery door open and remove the old battery. 2. Now place the new battery in the drawer as shown. Close the drawer. 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.
To open battery drawer, use the special tool you've received, and do as illustrated. Sound signals Your hearing aid plays sounds to inform you that certain features have been activated or that you have changed programs. These sounds may be spoken messages or tones, depending on your needs and preferences.
Ask your hearing care professional to turn these sounds signals off if you don't need them. Lost partner (Only available in selected models) Your hearing care professional can turn on a feature in your hearing aid that warns you whenever it loses contact with the hearing aid in the opposite ear.
NOTE You can also cup the hearing aid in your hand to verify that it is turned on. If it's on, it will whistle. Don't forget to turn off the hearing aid when it is not in use. Putting on and removing your hearing aid Putting on the hearing aid 1.
Sound adjustment Your hearing aid adjusts the volume automatically according to your sound environment. If you have a remote control, you can also adjust the sound manually, de- pending on your needs and preferences. Each time you operate the volume control, you will hear a beep-tone unless your hearing care professional has deactivated this function.
