WARNING
This hearing aid is capable of producing a sound pressure level exceed-
ing 132 dB SPL. There may be a risk of damaging your residual hearing.
NOTE
In addition to these user instructions, a separate user manual is provid-
ed describing the various ear-set solutions available for your hearing
aid: “Ear-sets for Widex BTE hearing aids”.

WARNING
This booklet and the manual “Ear-sets for Widex BTE hearing aids”
contain important information and instructions. Read these booklets
carefully before you start using the hearing aid.
NOTE
Your hearing aid, ear-set and accessories may not look exactly as illus-
trated in this booklet. We also reserve the right to make any changes
considered necessary.

Intended use
The hearing aids are intended as air conduction amplification
devices to be used in everyday listening environments.
Indications for use
The devices are indicated for individuals with a range of hearing
loss severity from moderate (40 dB HL) to profound (120 dB HL)
and all hearing loss configurations.
They are to be programmed by licensed hearing care profession-
als (audiologists, hearing aid specialists, otolaryngologists) who
are trained in hearing (re)habilitation.

9
Right/left identification
If you wear hearing aids on both ears, the right-ear hearing aid
can be provided with a red mark.
The battery
We recommend zinc-air batteries. Use a size 675 battery for the
hearing aid.
To obtain replacement batteries, please consult your hearing care
professional. It is important to take note of the expiry date and
the recommendations on the battery pack regarding disposal of
used batteries. Otherwise there is a risk that the battery life may
be reduced.

Inserting the battery
Before inserting a new battery into the hearing aid,
remember to remove the adhesive tab. Once the
tab has been removed, the battery will start func-
tioning after a few seconds.
CAUTION
Do not use batteries if there is a sticky residue from the tab or other un-
wanted substance, as this can cause the hearing aid to malfunction.
