Page 8: Warnings
Warnings The intended use of hearing systems is to amplify and transmit sound to the ears and hereby compensate for impaired hearing. The hearing systems (specially programmed for each hearing loss) must only be used by the intended person. They should not be used by any other person as they could damage hearing. - Page 9 Remove your hearing systems for CT and MRI scans or for other electromagnetic procedures. Special care should be exercised in wearing hearing systems when maximum sound pressure levels exceed 132 decibels. There may be a risk of impairing your remaining hearing. Speak with your hearing healthcare professional to ensure the maximum output of your hearing systems is suitable for your particular hearing loss.
- Page 10 If swallowed, consult a physician or hospital immediately. External devices may only be connected if they have been tested in accordance with correspond- ing IECXXXXX standards. Only use accessories approved by Hansaton, to avoid any electrical shock.

Page 21: Cleaning Your Hearing Systems
• Protect your hearing systems from excessive heat (hair dryer, vehicle glove box or dashboard). • Regular use of a dehumidifier, such as a Dri-Aid kit, can help prevent corrosion and prolong the life of your hearing systems. • Do not drop your hearing systems or knock them against hard surfaces. - Page 22 Cleaning Your Earmolds Clean the earmold and the outside of the earhook with a damp cloth at the end of each day. Do not use alcohol to clean your earmolds. If the earmolds become plugged, clear the opening with a wax loop or pipe cleaner. If your physician prescribes eardrops, clean any moisture that may get into the earmolds or tubing to prevent plugging.
- Page 23 your hearing healthcare professional for more information. Cleaning Your Slim Tubes and Domes You should have the slim tubes and domes replaced by your hearing healthcare professional approximately every three to six months or when they become stiff, brittle, or discolored. Clean the outside of the domes at the end of each day with a damp cloth.
