(miniBTE T only)
Batteries have occasionally been mistaken
for pills. Therefore, check your medicine
carefully before swallowing any pills.
Battery use (miniBTE T only)
Always use batteries recommended by your
hearing care professional. Batteries of low
quality may leak and cause bodily harm.
Never attempt to recharge your batteries
and never dispose of batteries by burning
them. There is a risk that the batteries will
explode.
Explosives (miniBTE R only)
Your hearing aids are safe to use under
normal usage conditions. The hearing
aid has not been tested for compliance
with international standards concerning
explosive environments.
Therefore, do not use the hearing aid in
environments with danger of explosions
e.g. mines, oxygen rich environments or
areas where flammable anesthetics are
handled.
Fatality hazards and risk of swallowing
lithium-ion batteries or placing them in
the ear or nose (miniBTE R only)
Never swallow lithium-ion batteries nor
place them in the ear or the nose, as this
may lead to serious injury or death in as
little as two hours. This can be due to
chemical burns, which can permanently
damage the nose or ear or potentially lead
to perforation of the inner organs. If a
lithium-ion battery is swallowed or placed
in the ear or nose, seek emergency medical
treatment immediately.
