Warnings
Dysfunction in hearing instruments
• Hearing instruments may stop functioning, for instance if the batteries have expired
or if the sound outlet is blocked by moisture or ear wax. You should be aware of this
possibility, in particular when you are in traffic or otherwise dependent on warning
sounds.
Active Implants
Caution must be taken with active implants. General advice is to follow the guidelines as
recommended by manufacturers of implantable defibrillators and pacemakers regarding
use with mobile phones:
• If you wear an active implant, then keep the hearing instrument more than 15 cm away
from the implant e.g., do not carry them in a breast pocket.
• If you have an active brain implant, please contact the manufacturer of your
implantable device for information about the risk of disturbance.
• The MultiTool has a built-in magnet. If you have an implantable device, such as a
pacemaker or defibrillator, the MultiTool should not be carried in a breast pocket
or near the chest.
