General information Before using hair spray or applying cosmetics, you should remove your hearing aid from your ear, because these products may damage it. 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. Your hearing aids are resistant to water, sweat and dust under the following conditions: 18 • The battery door is fully closed. Ensure that no foreign object such as hair is caught in the battery door when it is closed. • After exposure to water, sweat or dust, the hearing aid is cleaned and dried. • The hearing aid is used and maintained as described in this user guide. Hearing aids with the design-integrated Roger receiver are also water resistant. Hearing aids with an audio shoe and Roger universal receiver are not water resistant. Use of your hearing aid around water can restrict air flow to the batteries causing it to stop working. Should your hearing aid stop working after coming into contact with water, refer to the troubleshooting steps in chapter 17. 19 13.

Important safety information 18.1 Hazard warnings 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. 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 (oxygen-rich environments, mines or industrial areas with danger of explosions). 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! 34 35 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. In very rare cases, the dome can remain in your ear canal when removing the hearing tube from the ear. In the unlikely case that the dome does get stuck in your ear canal, it is strongly recommended to see a physician for safe removal. 36 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. 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. • You are not permitted to use wireless accessories for your hearing aids. Ask your hearing care professional for details. 37 18.2 Information on product safety 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. 38 Never wash the microphone inputs. Doing so could cause it to lose its special acoustic features. 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. 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 7 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. 39 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. 40 Do not use your hearing aid in areas where electronic equipment is prohibited. 41 Notes 42 43
