Remove the batteries to prevent damage from corrosion when
storing hearing instruments for an extended period.
Store the instruments in a dry area, preferably at room
temperature. If you perspire heavily or live in an area of high
humidity, you may find it beneficial to use a DRI-AID™ kit when
the instruments are not in use. This product can be purchased
from your Hearing Care Professional.
CAUTION
Never immerse your hearing instruments in water!
Note: Your hearing instrument is sensitive to extreme heat,
high humidity, strong magnetic fields (>0.1T), X-rays and
mechanical stress.
• Do not expose your hearing instrument to extreme
temperature or high humidity.
• Do not leave it in direct sunlight.
• Do not wear it in the shower or when you apply makeup,
perfume, aftershave, hairspray or suntan lotion.
• Do not wear your hearing instruments when you are exposed to
short-waves, a strong magnetic field, a high frequency field or
X-rays.
• Do not place your hearing instruments in a microwave oven
Cleaning instructions for hearing instruments
fitted with integrated wax protection
Cerumen (ear wax) on the wax protection system may affect
sound quality. Listen for any changes in how your hearing
instrument is performing. If wax has built up, it can be easily
removed with the Siemens cleaning cloth or a soft tissue. Do not
use water, alcohol, benzene, or any other liquid or household
cleaning agent/liquid to clean your instruments and C-Grid wax
protection systems as it may cause damage.
Note: Never use sharp objects for cleaning, as they may damage
the wax protection system. Never use running water or
immerse the instrument in water. Never use pressure or
rotating action while cleaning.
