About Start-up Handling Options Tinnitus Warnings More info
If a battery or hearing aid is swallowed,
see a doctor immediately and contact the
National Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222
or National Battery Ingestion Hotline at
1-800-498-8666.
Battery use
Always use batteries recommended by
your hearing care professional. Low quality
batteries 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.
Use in explosive environments
– only applies to BTE UP hearing aid
The hearing aid is safe to use under normal
usage conditions. The BTE UP hearing aid
with size 675 battery has not been tested
for compliance with international standards
concerning explosive environments.
Therefore, do not use BTE UP in envi-
ronments with danger of explosions
e.g. mines, oxygen rich environments or
areas where flammable anaesthetics are
handled.
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 characterized 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
international accepted safety limits for
SAR, induced electromagnetic power and
voltages into the human body defined in
the standards for human health and coex-
istence with active medical implants, such
as pacemakers and heart defibrillators.
If you have an active brain implant, please
contact the manufacturer of your implanta-
ble device for information about the risk of
disturbance.
The MultiTool which has a built-in magnet
should be kept at least 12 inches away
from the implant, e.g. do not carry it in your
breast pocket.
In general, please follow the guidelines
recommended by the manufacturers of
implantable defibrillators and pacemakers
on use with magnets.
Cochlear implants
If you are using a cochlear implant (CI) on
one ear and a hearing aid on the other ear,
make sure to always keep your CI antenna
and magnets at a safe distance from your
hearing aid. The magnetic field from the
CI magnets may permanently damage the
speaker unit in your hearing aid.
Never place the devices close together on
a table e.g. when cleaning or changing bat-
teries. Do not carry the CI system and the
hearing aid together in the same box.
