i General warnings
1. Consult a hearing care professional if you think there may be 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.
3. Do not wear hearing instruments in mines, oil fields, or other explosive areas unless those areas are
certified for hearing instrument use.
4. Do not allow others to use your hearing instruments. This may cause damage to the hearing instruments
or to the hearing of the other individual.
5. Instrument usage by children or mentally challenged persons should be supervised at all times to
ensure their safety. The hearing instrument contains small parts that could be swallowed by children.
Please be mindful not to leave children unsupervised with this hearing instrument.
6. Hearing instruments should be used only as prescribed by your hearing care professional. Incorrect
use may result in hearing loss.
7. Warning to hearing care professionals: Special care should be exercised in selecting and fitting hearing
instruments with maximum sound pressure level that exceeds 132dB SPL with an IEC 60711:1981
occluded ear simulator. There may be a risk of impairment of the remaining hearing.
8. Be careful when boarding flights to deactivate the wireless functionality. Turn off your wireless
functionality by using the flight mode in areas where radio frequency emission is prohibited.
9. If device is broken, do not use.
10. External devices connected to the electrical input must be safe according to the requirements of IEC
60601-1-1, IEC 60065, or IEC 60950-1, as appropriate (wired connection, f.ex. HI-PRO), SpeedLink).
