i General warnings
1. Special care should be exercised in selecting and fitting a hearing instrument(s) who’s maximum sound
pressure level exceeds 132 dB SPL (with an IEC 60711:1981 occluded ear simulator), because there
may be a risk of impairing the remaining hearing of the hearing instrument user.
2. Consult a hearing care professional if you discover 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.
3. Different types of radiation, for example, from 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.
4. Do not wear hearing instruments in mines, oil fields, or other explosive areas unless those areas are
certified for hearing instrument use.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Hearing instruments should be used only as prescribed by your hearing care professional. Incorrect
use may result in hearing loss.
8. If device is broken, do not use.
9. Be careful when boarding flights, to remember to deactivate the wireless functionality. Turn off your
wireless functionality by using the flight mode in areas where radio frequency emission is prohibited.
