6 7GENERAL thank You......for choosing a Widex hearing aid.Your hearing aid is designed with high-quality sound, ease, comfort and freedom of choice in mind.  We hope you will be pleased with your new Widex hearing aid.All  illustrations  in  this  booklet show a right-ear hearing aid.  the hearing aidThe  illustration  below  shows  the  hearing  aid  with earwire. Microphoneopenings Onofffunction NailgripEarwireReceiverLEDIMPORTANTThis  booklet  contains  important  information  and  instructions. Please read this booklet carefully before you start using the hear-ing aid.Your hearing aid, ear-set and accessories may not look exactly as illustrated in this booklet. We also reserve the right to make any changes considered necessary.1.2.3.5.4.6.Below,  your  hearing  care  professional  can  tick  the ear-piece solution chosen for you. Closed ear-tip  Open ear-tip  Custom ear-tip
8 9GENERAL RIGHT/LEFT IDENTIFICATIONThe arrow shows the position of the identification mark (red mark = right and blue mark = left).ACOUSTIC INDICATORSThe hearing aid may be set to produce a signal to in-dicate the use of certain functions. The signal may be a spoken message or tones adjusted by the hearing care professional in consultation with you. The signal can also be deactivated.Adjusting volume  Tone*  OffConfirming program  button useClicking sound OffChanging program  Message  Tones OffStarting up the hearing aid Message Tone OffWarning about low battery  Message 4 tones OffWarning about lost partner Message OffService reminder    Message Off* bold indicates standard settingTHE BATTERYWe recommend zinc-air batteries. Use a size 10 bat-tery for the hearing aid. To obtain replacement batteries, please consult your hearing care professional. It is important to take note of the expiry date and the recommendations regard-ing disposal of used batteries on the battery pack. INSERTING THE BATTERYBefore  inserting  a  new  battery  into  the hearing aid, remember to remove the ad-hesive  tab.  Once  the  tab  has  been  re-moved, the battery will start functioning after a few seconds. Do not use batteries on  which  there  is  a  sticky  residue  from the tab or other unwanted substance.Use the nail grip to gently swing the bat-tery drawer open. Do not press the draw-er beyond the open position.
10 11GENERAL Place the battery in the drawer as illustrated, so that the plus (+) sign on the battery is facing towards you when you hold the hearing aid as shown. You can use the  battery  magnet  provided  to  steer  the  battery into place. If the battery drawer does not close easily, the bat-tery is incorrectly inserted.When changing battery, it is a good idea to hold the hearing aid over a table.LOW BATTERY INDICATIONAn acoustic indicator will sound when the battery is nearly exhausted, unless this function has been disa-bled (see page 8). Exactly how long the hearing aid will function  after  the  low battery  indication varies from one case to another. We recommend that you always have a spare battery with you.Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing aid.  Exhausted batteries may leak, damaging the hearing aid. IMPORTANTYour hearing aid may stop functioning, for instance if the battery is exhausted. You should be aware of this possibility, in particular when you are in traffic or are otherwise dependent on warning signals.
12 13GENERAL TURNING THE HEARING AID ON AND OFFThe battery drawer of the hearing aid also functions as the on/off switch. Close  the  battery  drawer  to  turn  on the hearing aid. An acoustic indicator will indicate that the  hearing aid has been switched on unless this function has been disabled.Open  the  battery  drawer  to  turn  off the hearing aid.Please remember to turn off the hear-ing aid when it is not in use. Remove the battery if the hearing aid will not be used for several days.VOLUME ADJUSTMENTThe hearing aid volume is adjusted automatically in accordance with your sound environment. Ordinarily, you cannot fine tune the volume in your hearing aid. However, if you have a remote control, the option of fine tuning becomes available. Any volume  adjustment  via  the  remote control  will affect both hearing aids. For any adjustment of the steps in which volume in-creases or decreases, consult your hearing care pro-fessional.If you have a remote control, please also refer to the user instructions for this.IMPORTANTIf the volume in the hearing aid is generally too loud or too weak, or the reproduced sounds are distorted, or if you would like any further information, consult your hearing care professional.
14 15GENERAL LOST PARTNER ALARM(Note: Only applicable if this feature has been acti-vated by your hearing care professional).If one of your hearing aids falls off your ear, and/or the  battery  is  exhausted,  a  spoken  message  will sound in the other hearing aid after 8 seconds and a diode will flash on both hearing aids.When the lost hearing aid is repositioned, and/or the battery is exchanged, the diodes stop flashing. For use with mobile phones, see page 51.LISTENING PROGRAMSBy  default,  your  hearing  aid  has one  listening  pro-gram (Master). If  you  have  a  remote  control,  five  of  the  following programs, including Master, can be made available, plus the special Zen program called Zen+. Please also refer to the user instructions for your remote control.  Master Standard Music For listening to music TV For listening to the TV Comfort Attenuates background noise Reverse focus Focus on sounds from behind Audibility Extender Makes high-frequency sounds audible Zen Randomly plays harmonic tones. Contains one styleCompound programs      The Master program in one ear and Zen, Audibility Extender or Reverse focus in the other Zen+ Special Zen program with up to three different Zen styles. Accessed via a long press (two sec.) on the remote control program toggle key
16 17GENERAL If your needs change over time, the combination of listening programs can be altered.The Zen program may be used with amplification so that both the surrounding sounds and the Zen tones are heard together. Or, it may be used alone (without amplification) in quiet when you are not required to hear surrounding sounds. The duration of the Zen play time can be set by your hearing care professional according to your needs. IMPORTANTUse of the different Zen programs may interfere with hearing sur-rounding sounds including speech. The programs should not be used when hearing such sounds is important. Switch the hearing aid to a non-Zen program in those situations.SWITCHING BETWEEN THE LISTENING PROGRAMSEach time you change program via a remote control, an acoustic indicator will sound unless this function has been disabled.

20 21HEARING AID WITH A CLOSED OR OPEN EAR-TIPRIGHT/LEFT IDENTIFICATIONThe  earwire  is  available  in  different lengths for the right and left ear, respec-tively.  The  individual  size  is  printed  on the  ear-set  (see  arrow).  Red  print  indi-cates that it is for the right ear, and blue print that it is for the left ear.POSITIONING THE HEARING AID AND EAR-TIPPlace the hearing aid behind the ear, so that the ear-wire rests comfortably on the ear, close to your head. Insert the ear-tip into the ear canal while holding the lower part of the earwire.IMPORTANTThe anchor should always be used with the hearing aid with an open ear-tip. If the hearing aid is not secured by the  anchor,  it may fall off your ear and be lost. With a closed ear-tip, the anchor should only be used if this is necessary to further secure the ear-set/hearing aid. Remember to check at regular intervals that the hearing aid and the ear-set are positioned correctly.
22 23HEARING AID WITH A CLOSED OR OPEN EAR-TIPREMOVING THE HEARING AID AND EAR-TIPRemove the hearing aid from its position behind the ear. Carefully pull the ear-tip out of the ear canal, while holding the lower part of the earwire.

24 25HEARING AID WITH A CLOSED OR OPEN EAR-TIPTHE HEARING AIDClean  the  hearing  aid  after  use with  the  cloth  provided.  Never use  water  or  cleaning  solutions to clean the hearing aid. When  the  hearing  aid  is  not  in use,  the  battery  drawer  should be  left  open,  so  as  to  ventilate the  hearing  aid  and  allow  it  to dry.THE EAR-SETMake sure that your ear-set is clean and free of ear-wax, moisture and the like. Never use alcohol or oth-er cleaning solutions to clean the ear-set.THE EARWIREClean  the  earwire  with  the  cloth after  use.  Never  use  water  or cleaning  solutions  to  clean  the earwire.THE EAR-TIPClosed  ear-tip:  First  change  the NanoCare wax guard (see pages 40-43), then use  the  wax guard holder to push the receiver out of the ear-tip. Clean the vent with the long wax removing tool (no. 2), as illustrat-ed.Clean  the  sound  bore  with  the short wax removing tool (no. 3), as illustrated.If necessary, the closed or open ear-tip can  be  rinsed  thoroughly  in  lukewarm water, when disconnected from the rest of the ear-set.  Allow it to dry overnight. Never use cleaning solutions to clean the ear-tip.IMPORTANTThe receiver must never come into contact with water.
26 27HEARING AID WITH A CLOSED OR OPEN EAR-TIPIf dirt has gathered on the receiver, use the cloth to remove it.Place the new/clean ear-tip on the ear-set. It is very important to ensure that the ear-tip is firmly secured.Closed ear-tipThe right/left identification mark should still be visi-ble. See arrow.Open ear-tipCHANGING THE EAR-SETThe ear-set should be changed as required. The life of an ear-set is individual. Consult your hearing care professional  for  advice  on  how  often  you  should change your ear-set.For further supplies of ear-sets, or if the ear-tip size no  longer  fits  your  ear,  contact  your  hearing  care professional.
28 29HEARING AID WITH A CLOSED OR OPEN EAR-TIPEARWIRE AND EAR-TIP SIZEThe ear-set must fit your ear exactly in order to en-sure a good and comfortable fit. Your hearing  care  professional  will choose the  cor-rect earwire length and ear-tip size, and help you to trim the  anchor  if your  ear-set solution  requires an anchor. On page 2 of this booklet your hearing care profes-sional can write down the sizes selected for you. THE ANCHORThe  anchor  is  supplied  separately from the rest of the ear-set and can be  used  in  different  ways.  Firstly, we  show  how  the  anchor  can  be used without prior trimming:Pull  the pointed  end  of  the  an-chor through the upper hole on the  receiver  located  at  the  end of  the  earwire.  The  angled  grip should  be  pointing  towards  the hearing aid.Continue pulling until the anchor is stopped by the grip at the end.Your ear-set is now ready for use and is positioned so that it rests comfort-ably in your ear.
30 31HEARING AID WITH A CLOSED OR OPEN EAR-TIPThe anchor can also be trimmed to fit your ear:Pull the pointed end of the an-chor through the upper hole on the receiver located at the end of the earwire. The angled grip should be pointing towards the hearing aid.Continue  pulling  until  the  an-chor is  stopped by the grip at the  end.  Now  turn  the  ear-set around.Then guide the pointed end of the  anchor  through  the  lower hole to form a loop.When  the  loop  is  the  correct size, cut any excess off, leaving only the loop.The  anchor  loop  has  the  correct  size  when  it  sup-ports the position of the ear-tip in the ear canal, and the ear-set sits securely in and on the ear.Take great care to cut off all the excess so that the  end  of the anchor loop is flush with the small hole and there are no sharp edges. Use the tip of your finger to check for sharp edges. If part of the anchor sticks out through the hole, creat-ing an uneven surface, this may cause irritation of the ear.

Caring for Your hearing aidThe  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.
48 49GENERAL • Never try to open or repair the hearing aid your-self. • Do not wear your hearing aid during X-rays, scans or radiation treatments.  Other types of  radiation, such as that in a microwave oven, can also damage your  hearing  aid.  Radiation  from,  for  example, room surveillance  equipment,  burglar  alarms and mobile phones is weaker and will not damage the hearing aid. • Widex  hearing  aids  are  not  certified  for  use  in mines or other areas with explosive gases.good adviCe and warningsHearing  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.CAUTIONRisk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type or re-charged. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
50 51GENERAL • Never allow others to wear your hearing aid, as this could cause permanent damage to their hear ing.• The hearing aid will not restore normal hearing but can help you to make the best possible use of your remaining hearing ability. However, you should be aware that it takes time to get used to a new hear-ing aid and new sounds. • When  selecting  a  listening  program,  please  re-member that there are situations in which it is par-ticularly important to be able to hear the surround-ing sounds (e.g. traffic, warning signals).• The use of hearing aids increases the risk of accu-mulation  of  earwax.  Contact  your  physician/ENT doctor if you suspect that a plug of earwax has ac-cumulated in your ear. Earwax may not only reduce your own hearing but also the effect of the hearing aid considerably. It is a good idea to ask your phy-sician to clean your ears a couple of times a year.• The hearing aid is made of modern non-allergenic materials. Nonetheless, in rare cases skin irritation may occur. If you notice skin irritation in or around your  ear  or  ear  canal,  contact  your  hearing  care professional.• Be aware that the use  of any type of hearing aid may involve a slightly increased risk of infection in the ear canal. An infection can arise as a result of inadequate ventilation of the ear. We therefore rec-ommend that you remove the hearing aid and ear-set from your ear at night to allow the ear canal to be ventilated. Make sure that you clean and inspect your hearing aid and ear-set as required. If an in-fection occurs, you should seek medical attention and contact your hearing care professional for ad-vice  on  how  to  disinfect  the  various  hearing  aid parts. Do not under any circumstances use alcohol, chlorine or similar substances.• Your hearing aid uses a built-in transceiver for co-ordination between the hearing aids. The magnetic field strength of the transceiver is very low. • Your hearing aid has been tested for interference according to international standards. Nevertheless, it is possible that unforeseen interference may oc-cur in the hearing aid due to electromagnetic radi-ation from other products such as alarm systems and mobile phones.
52 53GENERAL • Although  your  hearing  aid  has  been designed to comply with the most stringent international elec-tromagnetic compatibility standards, the possibili-ty cannot be excluded that it may cause interfer-ence with other equipment, such as medical devic-es. regulatorY informationHereby,  Widex  A/S  declares  that  this  C4-PA  is  in compliance with the essential requirements and oth-er relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC.A copy of the Declaration of Conformity can be found at: http://www.widex.comWIDEX • 3540 LyngeDenmark • www.widex.com
