the correction must be made.

The TS may only be used for the appli-
cations stated above. The manufacturer

nician in compliance with the requirements
of the country where it is being used and in

instructions in this manual for adjustments
of the aid according to the measurements of
the user. Only compliance of the regulations

nomically effects.
We wish you every success when using the
