Caring for Your hearing aid
The hearing aid is a valuable object and should be
treated with care. Here are some things you can do
to prolong the life of your hearing aid:
• Turn off your hearing aid when it is not in use. Re-
move the battery if the hearing aid will not be used
for several days.
• When the hearing aid is not in use, keep it in its
case in a cool, dry location out of reach of children
and pets.
• Do not expose the hearing aid to extreme temper-
atures or high humidity.
• Do not wear your hearing aid while in the shower
or swimming, or when using a hair dryer, perfume
or other sprays.
• In environments with high humidity, a Widex dry-
ing kit may be used daily to reduce the amount of
moisture inside the hearing aid. See the instruc-
tions enclosed with the Widex drying kit.
good adviCe and warnings
Hearing aids and batteries can be dangerous if
swal lowed or used improperly. Swallowing or
improper use can result in severe injury or even
fatalities. In case of ingestion, contact a physician
immediately.
• Keep hearing aids and their parts, accessories and
batteries out of reach of children and anyone else
who might swallow such items or otherwise cause
injury to themselves. Do not change batteries in
front of them and do not let them see where you
keep your battery supply. Discard used batteries
carefully.
• Batteries are very small and can easily be mistaken
for pills or the like. Never put a battery or hearing
aid in your mouth for any reason, as you may risk
swallowing it.
CAUTION
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type or re-
charged. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
