GENERAL WARNINGS

• Consult a your hearing healthcare professional
if you discover a foreign object in your ear canal,
you experience skin irritation or excessive earwax
accumulates with the use of the hearing instrument.
• Different types of radiation, for example, from
NMR, MRI or CT scanners, may damage the hear-
ing instrument. Therefore, do not wear the hearing
instrument during these or other corresponding
scanning procedures. Other types of radiation
(burglar alarms, room surveillance systems, radio
equipment, mobile telephones, etc.) contain less
energy and will not damage the hearing instrument.
They could, however, momentarily affect the sound
quality or create strange sounds from the hearing
instruments.
• Do not wear the hearing instrument in mines or
other explosive areas, unless those areas are certi-
fi ed for hearing instrument use.
• Keep the instruments away from children under
the age of three. Hearing instruments contain small
parts that may present a choking hazard.
