Warnings
• Batteries have occasionally been mistaken for pills. Therefore check your medicine
carefully before swallowing any pills.
• Never put your hearing instrument or batteries in your mouth for any reason, as they
are slippery and could be swallowed by accident.
• Most hearing instruments can be supplied with a tamper-resistant battery compart-
ment upon request. This is strongly recommended for infants, small children, and
people with learning difficulties.
If a battery or hearing instrument is swallowed, see a doctor immediately and call the
National Poison Center, collect (202) 625-3333.

quality may leak and cause bodily harm.
