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
batteries and never dispose of batteries
by burning them. There is a risk
that the batteries will explode.
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 trac). 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 (Specic 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 dened
in the standards for human health and
coexistence with active medical implants,
such as pacemakers and heart debrillators.
The AutoPhone magnet 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 debrillators
and pacemakers on use with magnets.
