Before Use
WARNING
Do not use the Hearing Hub if you are fitted with a pacemaker. Your
Hearing Hub may affect pacemaker functioning.
Pacemakers can be susceptible to interference from radio waves.
pTurn off the Hearing Hub if you are around somebody wearing a pacemaker or
while in hospitals, where an active wireless device could interfere with other
equipment and pacemakers.
Turn off your device in places where people are close to each other, such
as in trains.
This is to prevent your device from inadvertently affecting pacemakers and
other medical devices when the device is in close proximity with people
wearing them.
Keep out of reach of children and pets.
A length adjustment mechanism (rubber slider) for a neckloop antenna (P. 24)
may be accidentally removed. It can be swallowed and pose a choking hazard
and possibly cause internal injury. To prevent accidental ingestion, secure your
Hearing Hub in a safe place where it is not accessed by infants, small children,
pets, or others who might accidentally swallow it.
pIf swallowed, seek immediate medical treatment.
