General Warnings
Familiarize yourself with the following general warnings
before using your RC-N remote control.
Hazard Warnings
RC-N is not a toy and should be kept away from
children and anyone else who might swallow parts
or otherwise cause injury to themself. Special
attention should be paid to the smaller components
in order to prevent swallowing or choking. If a part
is swallowed, see a doctor immediately.

07
Never expose the RC-N to excessive heat, such
as putting it in an oven, microwave, burning
it or leaving it inside a parked car in the sun.
There is a risk in these events that it will explode
and cause serious injury.
RC-N should not be used in an aircraft unless
specifically permitted by the flight personnel

08
Users are advised to follow the guidelines as
recommended by manufacturers of implantable
defibrillators and pacemakers regarding use
of mobile phones. If you wear an active implant,
keep the RC-N more than 5.9 inches (15 cm) away
from the implant.
The RC-N power source has insufficient energy
to cause fire in normal conditions of use. The RC-N
has not been tested for compliance with interna-
tional standards concerning explosive atmospheres.
It is recommended not to use your RC-N in areas
where there is a danger of explosions.

09
Cleaning is recommended on a regular basis,
using a dry or slightly damp cloth without solvents.
The RC-N must not be exposed to or cleaned
with cleaning chemicals or alcohols. The chemicals
in cosmetics, hairspray, perfume, aftershave
lotion, suntan lotion and insect repellant can
damage your remote control. You should always
remove your RC-N before applying such products
and allow time for the product to dry before
using your RC-N. Do not immerse the remote
control in water or other liquids.

10
If a hand strap is used, make sure it is designed
and suitable for this purpose. Never use a neck
strap due to the risk of strangling.
Do not use the RC-N during X-ray, CT/MRI/PET
scanning, electrotherapy or surgery
Using the RC-N while driving can distract you.
If driving conditions or traffic laws demand it,
pull off the road and park before using the RC-N.

11
Always use batteries recommended by your hearing
care professional. Batteries of low quality may leak
and cause bodily harm. An empty battery should be
removed as soon as possible.
Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable
batteries. They may explode and cause serious
injury. Never dispose of batteries by burning them.
There is a risk that they will explode and cause
serious injury.

12
Help protect the environment by not disposing of
your RC-N batteries with your unsorted household
waste. Please recycle the batteries or return them
to your hearing care professional for disposal.
The RC-N uses digital inductive signals to transmit
commands to the hearing aids. Although extremely
unlikely, concerns have been raised that this signal
could possibly interfere with medical devices such
as pacemakers. As an additional precaution, we
advise pacemaker recipients not to carry and use
the RC-N in a chest pocket or around the neck.

13
The emission power from the RC-N is below
inter-national emission limits for human exposure.
For comparison, the radiation of the RC-N is
less than unintended electromagnetic radiation
of hair dryers, electric shavers, etc. The RC-N
complies with international standards concerning
electromagnetic compatibility.
