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 and charging accessories in explosive areas (mines or industrial areas with danger of explosions, oxygen rich environments or areas where flammable anesthetics are handled) or where electronic equipment is prohibited. 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. 45 Only authorized personnel are allowed to open the Power Pack due to possible electrical hazard. Do not make a wire connection from your hearing aid to any external audio sources like radio etc. That could cause injuries on your body (electric shock). Do not cover the whole Charger Case or Mini Charger while charging, e.g. with a cloth etc. 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. Keep the Charger Case out of reach of children and mentally challenged people or pets. If the drying capsule is swallowed, consult a physician or hospital immediately. 46 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. EasyPhone magnet, etc.) at least 15 cm (6 inches) away from the active implant. 47 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. Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally. Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified or provided by the manufacturer of this equipment could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation. 48 Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the Audéo V-R, including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result. The USB port of the charger is to be used for the described purpose only. For charger, use only EN60950-certified equipment with a output rating of 5 VDC. Min. 500 mA. Do not insert the adapter of the power supply alone into electrical outlets because this could result in an electric shock. Hearing aids should not be fitted with domes / wax protection systems when used by clients with perforated eardrums, inflamed ear canals or otherwise exposed middle ear cavities. In these cases, we recommend the use of a custom earpiece. In the unlikely case that any part of this product should remain in the ear canal, it is strongly recommended to see a medical specialist for safe removal. 49 Do not drop your hearing aid! Dropping onto a hard surface can damage your hearing aid. Store you hearing aid in the charger if you are not using it for a long period of time. 16.2 Information on product safety Protect your hearing aid from heat (never leave near a window or in the car).

Audéo V-R and Power Pack contain lithium-ion batteries tested according to the UN 38.3 standard and should be shipped according to the rules and regulations of safe shipment of Lithium ion batteries. The dome should be changed every three months or when it becomes stiff or brittle. This is to prevent the dome from detaching from the tube spout during insertion into or removal from the ear. 50 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. 51 Phonak hearing aids are water resistant and not waterproof. They are designed to withstand normal activities and occasional accidental exposure to extreme conditions. Never immerse your hearing aid in water! Phonak hearing aids are not specifically designed for extended periods of water submersion on a continual basis, that is worn in activities such as swimming or bathing. Always remove your hearing aid before these activities, as the hearing aid contains sensitive electronic parts. Only use approved chargers and Power Pack described in this user guide for charging Audéo V-R, otherwise the devices may be damaged. 52 Notes 54 Manufacturer: Phonak AG Laubisrütistrasse 28 CH-8712 Stäfa Switzerland Your hearing care professional: 55 029-XXXX-02/V1.00/2016-02/na Printed in Switzerland © Sonova AG All rights reserved 53
