General Precautions; General Warnings - ReSound Receiver-in-ear Hearing Instrument User Manual

general precautions

1. Do not leave hearing instruments in the sun, near an open fire, or in a hot, parked car.
2. Do not wear hearing instruments while showering, swimming, in heavy rain, or in a moist
atmosphere such as a steam bath or sauna.
3. Should the hearing instrument become moist, remove the battery and place the hearing
instrument in a closed container with a drying agent. Your hearing care professional can
provide options for drying containers or kits.
4. Remove the hearing instruments when applying items such as cosmetics, perfume, after­
shave, hair spray, and suntan lotion.
5. When wireless function is activated, the device uses low­powered digitally coded
transmissions in order to communicate with other wireless devices. Although unlikely, nearby
electronic devices may be affected. In that case, move the hearing instrument away from the
affected electronic device.

6. When using wireless functionality and the devices are affected by electromagnetic
interference, move away from the source.

general warnings

1. Consult a hearing care professional if you discover a foreign object in your ear canal, if you
experience skin irritation, or if excessive ear wax accumulates with the use of the hearing
instrument.
2. Different types of radiation, from e.g. NMR, MRI, or CT scanners, may damage hearing
instruments. It is recommended not to wear hearing instruments during these or other similar
procedures. Other types of radiation, such as burglar alarms, room surveillance systems,
radio equipment, mobile telephones, contain less energy and will not damage hearing
instruments. However, they have the potential to momentarily affect the sound quality or
temporarily create strange sounds from hearing instruments.
