WARNING
• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type or
recharged. Dispose of used batteries according to the instruc-
tions on the battery pack.
• Never allow others to wear your hearing aid, as this could cause
permanent damage to their hear ing.
• When selecting a listening program, please remember that there
are situations in which it is particularly important to be able to
hear the surrounding sounds (e.g. traffic, warning signals).
• The hearing aid is made of modern non-allergenic materials.
Nonetheless, in rare cases skin irritation may occur. If you no-
tice skin irritation in or around your ear or ear canal, contact
your hearing care professional.
• Please note that when using any type of hearing aid, you must
allow regular ventilation of the ear. If the ear is not adequate-
ly ventilated, there may be a slightly increased risk of infection
or disease in the ear canal. We therefore recommend that you
remove the hearing aid and ear-set from your ear when you go
to bed, to allow the ear canal to be ventilated. If possible, you
should also remove your hearing aid and ear-set during the day
if there are any periods when you do not need them. Make sure
that you clean and inspect your hearing aid and ear-set as re-
quired. If an ear infection or disease occurs, you should seek
medical attention and contact your hearing care profession-
al for advice on how to disinfect the various hearing aid parts.
Do not under any circumstances use alcohol, chlorine or similar
substances for this purpose.
• Regular use of a de-humidifier is recommended to help avoid
malfunction of the hearing aid.
• Do not use Widex hearing aids in mines or other areas with ex-
plosive gases.
