Getting to know your device
The hearing amplifier is only to be used to help people to hear better. The
device is only intended for the purpose described in these instructions for
use. The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from improper or
careless use. The hearing amplifier is an amplifying device and is not a thera-
peutic medical device.
The hearing amplifier is a device to help people hear better. It does this by
amplifying sounds and then transmitting these to the ear. The hearing ampli-
fier can neither prevent nor alleviate organically caused hearing loss.
The hearing amplifier offers you a variety of applications. Regardless of
whether you want to watch a film, chat with friends or just feel like listening
to the sounds of nature in the woods, the hearing amplifier helps you to hear
sounds louder and more clearly. The hearing amplifier is an amplifying device
and is not a therapeutic medical device.

3. Warning and safety notes
WARNING
•In the event of an existing or previous ear problem, you should consult
your doctor before using the hearing amplifier.
•Do NOT use the hearing amplifier if you are suffering from an inflammation
of the middle ear or ear canal.
•If you feel unwell or experience pain when wearing the hearing amplifier,
stop using it immediately and contact your doctor.
•If your ear becomes inflamed or your skin irritated or you experience an in-
creased accumulation of ear wax when wearing the hearing amplifier, stop
using it immediately and contact your doctor.

8
•Stop using the hearing amplifier and seek medical attention if the following
occurs:
- Rash or eczema on areas of skin that come into contact with the hearing
amplifier. (The hearing amplifier is made from a material that is kind to the
skin. In rare cases, however, allergic reactions may occur that appear in
the form of eczema.)
- Use of the hearing amplifier results in discharge from the ear and/or ne-
cessitates ear treatment.
- Sudden, significant decrease in hearing ability.
•At first, set the volume to a low setting and increase it gradually once you
have become accustomed to the hearing amplifier.
•Do NOT set the volume control too high, as this may cause further damage
to hearing over an extended period of time. This is particularly important to
note, as the device achieves a high output power.
•Do NOT lend your hearing amplifier to others or use the hearing amplifiers
of others, as there is a risk of hearing damage and infection.
•The hearing amplifier is NOT suitable for use for small children below the
age of 36 months.

9
•It is particularly difficult to diagnose hearing problems in children. Children
should only be provided with a hearing amplifier following a thorough in-
spection by an ENT specialist.
•Keep the hearing amplifier, the accessories and the batteries away from
children, as there is a risk of injury and choking.
•This device is NOT intended for use by people (including children) with re-
stricted physical, sensory or mental skills or a lack of experience and/or
a lack of knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person who has re-
sponsibility for their safety or they receive instructions from this person
on how to use the device. Supervise children around the device to ensure
they do not play with it.
•Do NOT use the hearing amplifier in potentially explosive and hazardous
environments.
•Do NOT use the device in oxygen-rich environments and over an extended
period of time.
•Please contact the manufacturer in the event of the following:
- if you require assistance in the set-up, use or maintenance of the hearing
amplifier; or
- if the device behaves unexpectedly during operation or otherwise.

10
•If you have any doubts, do NOT use a damaged hearing amplifier; contact
your retailer or the specified Customer Services address.
•Switch the device off immediately if it is faulty or not working properly.
•Do not attempt to open and/or repair the hearing amplifier yourself. Re-
pairs may only be carried out by Customer Services or authorised retailers.
Failure to comply will result in voiding of the warranty.
IMPORTANT
•Do NOT wear the hearing amplifier in the vicinity of strong electromagnetic
fields or X-rays.
•Do NOT wear the hearing amplifier while bathing, showering or swimming.
•Protect the device from impacts, humidity, dirt, marked temperature fluc-
tuations, direct sunlight and high levels of air humidity.
•High temperatures may develop in closed vehicles during summer. You
should therefore never leave your hearing amplifier inside a vehicle.
•Do NOT drop the device or subject it to any shocks.
•If the hearing amplifier falls into water, dry it with a cloth and then have it
inspected by your retailer.
