Rechargeable battery
Do not attempt to open the hearing aid, as
it may damage the battery.
Never attempt to replace the battery. If
battery replacement is needed, please
return your device to your hearing care
professional. The service guarantee is void
if there are signs of tampering.
In case of battery leakage do not wear your
hearing aid, as it may cause skin irritation
due to acids coming from the leaking
battery. If your skin has been in contact
with the leaked battery acids, use a wet
cloth to wipe it off and ensure no acid is
left on your skin. If you experience skin
irritation, consult your doctor. For further
handling instructions of your hearing
instrument consult your hearing care
professional.
The safety of recharging batteries using
a USB connector is determined by the
external signal source. When connected
to external equipment plugged into a
power socket, this equipment must comply
with IEC 62368-1 or equivalent safety
standards.
Dysfunction
Be aware of the possibility that your
hearing aid may stop working without
notice. Keep this in mind when you depend
on warning sounds (e.g. when you are
in traffic). The hearing aids may stop
functioning, for instance if the batteries
have expired or if the tubing is blocked by
moisture or earwax.
Active implants
The hearing aid has been thoroughly
tested and characterised for human health
according to international standards for
human exposure (Specific Absorption Ratio
- SAR), induced electromagnetic power and
voltages into the human body.
The exposure values are well below
internationally accepted safety limits for
SAR, induced electromagnetic power and
voltages into the human body defined
in the standards for human health
and coexistence with active medical
implants such as pacemakers and heart
defibrillators.
If you have an active brain implant,
please contact the manufacturer of your
implantable device for information about
the risk of interference.
The Autophone or MultiTool (which has a
built-in magnet) should be kept more than
30 centimeters (1 foot) away from the
implant, e.g. do not carry it in your breast
pocket.
Follow the guidelines recommended by the
manufacturers of implantable defibrillators
and pacemakers regarding their use with
magnets.
Detached earpiece in ear canal
If the earpiece is not on the speaker
when removed from the ear, the earpiece
may still be in the ear canal. For further
instructions, consult your hearing care
professional.
X-ray/CT/MR/PET scanning,
electrotherapy and surgery
Remove your hearing aid before X-ray, CT/
MR/PET scanning, electrotherapy, surgery,
etc. as your hearing aid may be damaged
when exposed to electromagnetic fields.
