Warnings
Dysfunction
• Be aware of the possibility that
your hearing instrument may stop
working without notice. Keep
this in mind when you depend on
warning sounds (e.g., when you are
in traffic). The hearing instruments
may stop functioning, for instance if
the batteries have expired or if the
tubing is blocked by moisture or ear
wax.
38 About Start up Handling Options
Active implants
• Caution must be taken with active
implants. In general, follow the
guidelines 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.
If you have an Autophone magnet
or MultiTool (which has a built-in
magnet), keep them more than 30
cm away from the implant. E.g.,do
not carry them in a breast pocket.
Warnings Additionals
• If you have an active brain implant,
please contact the manufacturer
of your implantable device for
information about the risk of
disturbance.
Explosives
• The power source in your hearing
instrument has insufficient energy
to cause fire in normal usage
conditions. The hearing instrument
has not been tested for compliance
with international standards
concerning explosive environments.
It is recommended not to use your
hearing instrument in areas where
there is a danger of explosions.
X-ray, CT, MR, PET scanning and
electrotherapy
• Remove your hearing instrument for
example during X-ray, CT / MR / PET
scanning electrotherapy or surgery
as your hearing instrument may be
damaged when exposed to strong
fields.
