General warnings
Use in explosive environments
– only applies to BTE UP hearing aid
The hearing aid is safe to use under normal
usage conditions. The BTE UP hearing aid
with size 675 battery has not been tested
for compliance with international standards
concerning explosive environments.
Therefore, do not use BTE UP in
environments with danger of explosions
e.g. mines, oxygen rich environments or
areas where flammable anaesthetics are
handled.
Dysfunction
Be aware of the possibility that your
hearing aid may stop working without
notice. Keep this in mind when you depend
on warning sounds (e.g. when you are
in traffic). The hearing aids may stop
functioning, for instance if the batteries
have expired or if the tubing is blocked by
moisture or earwax.
44 About Start-up Handling Options Tinnitus
Active implants
The hearing aid has been thoroughly
tested and characterised for human health
according to international standards for
human exposure (Specific Absorption Ratio
– SAR), induced electromagnetic power and
voltages into the human body.
The exposure values are well below
international accepted safety limits for
SAR, induced electromagnetic power and
voltages into the human body defined
in the standards for human health
and coexistence with active medical
implants, such as pacemakers and heart
defibrillators.
The Autophone magnet or MultiTool
(which has a built-in magnet) should
be kept more than 30 cm away from
the implant, e.g. do not carry it in your
breast pocket. In general, please follow
the guidelines recommended by the
manufacturers of implantable defibrillators
and pacemakers on use with magnets.
