General warnings
Rechargeable battery (MNB T R only)
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 the
supplier. The service guarantee is void if
there are signs of tampering.
In case of battery leakage do not wear or
carry your hearing aid, as it may cause skin
irritation due to acids leaking from the
battery. If your skin has been in contact with
the leaked battery acids, use a wet cloth
to wipe it o and ensure no acid is left on
your skin. If you experience skin irritation,
consult your doctor. For further handling
instructions of your hearing aid 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
aids may stop working without notice. Keep
this in mind when you depend on warning
sounds (e.g. when you are in trac). 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
Your hearing aids have been thoroughly
tested and characterised for human health
according to international standards for
human exposure (Specic 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 dened in the
standards for human health and coexistence
with active medical implants, such as
pacemakers and heart debrillators.
