General precautions
1. Do not leave hearing instruments in the sun, near an open fire, or in a hot, parked car.
2. Do not wear hearing instruments while showering, swimming, in heavy rain, or in a moist atmo-
sphere such as a steam bath or sauna.
3. Should the hearing instrument become moist, remove the battery and place the hearing
instrument in a closed container with a drying agent. Your hearing care professional can provide
options for drying containers or kits.
4. Remove the hearing instruments when applying items such as cosmetics, perfume, after shave,
hair spray, and suntan lotion.
5. When wireless function is activated, the device uses low-powered digitally coded transmissions
in order to communicate with other wireless devices. Although unlikely, nearby electronic devices
may be affected. In that case, move the hearing instrument away from the affected electronic
device.
6. When using wireless functionality and the devices are affected by electromagnetic interference,
move away from the source.
General warnings
1. 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.
2. 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.
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.
