device (implantable cardioverter defibrillator), please
read the specific user guide to clarify possible
impact of magnetic fields to your medical device.
Do not place the MiniControl (neither open nor
closed) in your breast pocket. Keep a distance of at
least 15 cm (6 inches) between the MiniControl and
any medical device.
22
11. Care and maintenance
Diligent and routine care of your hearing aid contributes
to outstanding performance and a long service life.
Please use the following specifications as a guideline.
For further information regarding product safety, see
chapter 17.2.
General information
Before using hair spray or applying cosmetics, you should
remove your hearing aid from your ear, because these
products may damage it.
23
Daily
Daily cleaning and the use of a drying system is highly
recommended. C&C line from Phonak is a complete set of
cleaning products. Your hearing care professional will be
glad to advise you. Never use household cleaning
products (washing powder, soap, etc.) to clean your
hearing aids.
If your hearing aid is performing weakly or fails to
operate, clean or replace the wax guard system. If your
hearing aid fails to operate after you have correctly
cleaned or replaced your wax protection system and
inserted new batteries, contact your hearing care
professional for advice.
Weekly
For more in depth maintenance instructions or for
more than basic cleaning, please see your hearing
care professional.

17. Important safety information
Please read the information on the following pages before
using your hearing aid.
A hearing aid will not restore normal hearing and will not
prevent or improve a hearing impairment resulting from
organic conditions. Infrequent use of a hearing aid does
not permit a user to attain full benefit from it. The use of
a hearing aid is only part of hearing habilitation and may
need to be supplemented by auditory training and
instruction in lipreading.
40
17.1 Hazard warnings
The intended use of
hearing aids is to amplify
and transmit sound to the
ears and hereby
compensate for impaired
hearing. The hearing aids
(specially programmed for
each hearing loss) must
only be used by the
intended person. They
should not be used by any
other person as they could
damage hearing.
Changes or modifications
to the hearing aid that
were not explicitly
approved by Phonak are
not permitted. Such
changes may damage your
ear or the hearing aid.
Do not use the hearing
aids in explosive areas
(mines or industrial areas
with danger of explosions,
oxygen-rich environments
or areas where flammable
anesthetics are handled).
Hearing aid batteries are
toxic if they are swallowed!
Keep out of reach of
children and mentally
challenged people or pets.
If batteries are swallowed,
consult your physician
immediately!
41
If you feel pain in or
behind your ear, if it is
inflamed or if skin
irritation and accelerated
accumulations of earwax
occur, please check with
your hearing care
professional or physician.
Hearing programs in the
directional microphone
mode reduce background
noises. Please be aware
that warning signals or
noises coming from
behind, e. g. cars, are
partially or entirely
suppressed.
42
This hearing aid is not for
children below 36 months.
It contains small parts that
can cause choking, if
swallowed by children.
Keep out of reach of
children and mentally
challenged people or pets.
If swallowed, consult a
physician or hospital
immediately.
External devices may only
be connected if they have
been tested in accordance
with corresponding
IECXXXXX standards. Only
use accessories approved
by Phonak AG, to avoid any
electrical shock.
The following is only
applicable for persons with
active implantable medical
devices (i.e. pacemakers,
defibrillators, etc.):
Keep the wireless hearing
aid at least 15 cm
(6 inches) away from the
active implant. If you
experience any interference,
do not use the wireless
hearing aids and contact
the manufacturer of the
active implant. Please, note
that interference can also
be caused by power lines,
electrostatic discharge,
airport metal detectors etc.
Keep magnets (i.e. battery
handling tool, EasyPhone
magnet, etc.) at least
15 cm (6 inches) away
from the active implant.
43
17.2 Information on product safety
Never immerse your hearing
aid in water! Protect it from
excessive moisture. Always
remove your hearing aid
before showering, bathing,
or swimming, as the hearing
aid contains sensitive
electronic parts.
Protect your hearing aid
from heat (never leave near
a window or in the car).
Never use a microwave
or other heating devices
to dry your hearing aid.
Ask your hearing care
professional about suitable
drying methods.
When you are not using
your hearing aid, leave the
battery door open so that
any moisture can evaporate.
Make sure that you always
completely dry your
hearing aid after use. Store
the hearing aid in a safe,
dry and clean place.
44
Do not drop your hearing
aid! Dropping onto a hard
surface can damage your
hearing aid.
Always use new batteries
for your hearing aid. In
case a battery is leaking,
replace it immediately
with a new one to avoid
any skin irritation. You
can return used batteries
to your hearing care
professional.
The batteries used in these
hearing aids should not
exceed 1.5 Volts. Please do
not use silver-zinc or Li-ion
(lithium-ion) rechargeable
batteries as these may
cause severe damage to
your hearing aids. The
table in chapter 5 explains
exactly which type of
battery your particular
hearing aids require.
Remove the battery if
you are not using your
hearing aid for a long
period of time.
45
Special medical or dental
examination including
radiation described below,
may adversely affect the
correct functioning of your
hearing aids. Remove and
keep them outside the
examination room/area
before undergoing:
Medical or dental
examination with X-ray
(also CT scan).
Medical examinations with
MRI/NMRI scans, generating
magnetic fields.
Hearing aids don’t need to
be removed when passing
security gates (airports
etc.). If X-ray is used at all,
it will be in very low doses,
and will not affect the
hearing aids.
46
Do not use your hearing
aid in areas where
electronic equipment
is prohibited.
