• Batteries have occasionally been
mistaken for pills. Therefore, check
your medicine carefully before
swallowing any pills.
• Most hearing instruments can be
supplied with a tamper-resistant
battery drawer upon request. This is
strongly recommended for infants,
small children and people with learn-
ing diculties.
• Children below 36 months must
always use a tamper-resistant
battery drawer. This option is
available in BTE, miniBTE, RITE and
miniRITE instruments.
If a battery or hearing instrument is
swallowed, see a doctor immediately.
Battery use
• Always use batteries recommended
by your Hearing Care Professional.
Batteries of low quality may leak and
cause bodily harm.
• Never attempt to recharge your bat-
teries and never dispose of batteries
by burning them. There is a risk that
the batteries will explode.
