Using Kirkland Signature hearing instruments with smart phone apps
i
Intended use of smart phone apps:
GN ReSound smart phone apps are intended to be used with Kirkland Signature wireless hearing instru-
ments. GN ReSound smart phone apps send and receive signals from the Kirkland Signature wireless
hearing instruments via smart phones for which the apps have been developed.
Use with smart phone apps:
• Notifications of app updates should not be disabled, and it is recommended that the user installs all
updates to ensure that the app will function correctly and will be kept up to date.
• The app must only be used with Kirkland Signature devices for which it is intended, and GN ReSound
takes no responsibility if the app is used with other devices.
i 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 atmosphere
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 healthcare 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 instrument 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.
7. Use only original consumables provided by the manufacturer e.g. tubes and domes.
Never attempt to modify the shape of the hearing instrument, ear-molds, or tubing yourself.
8. Do only connect Kirkland Signature hearing instruments to accessories intended and qualified to be
used with Kirkland Signature hearing instruments.
i General warnings
1. Consult a hearing healthcare 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, 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 healthcare professional.
Incorrect use may result in hearing loss.
