NOTE
In addition to these user instructions, a separate user manual is
provided 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 illustrated 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. The hearing aids may be provided with
the Zen program intended to provide a relaxing sound
background (i.e. music/noise source) for adults who
desire to listen to such a background in quiet.
Indications for use
The devices are indicated for individuals with a full
range of hearing loss severity from slight (16 dB HL
to 25 dB HL) to severe/profound (90+ dB HL) and all
hearing loss configurations.

6
They are to be programmed by licensed hearing
care professionals (audiologists, hearing aid special-
ists, otolaryngologists) who are trained in hearing
(re)habilitation.
Description of device
Your hearing aid is used with an ear-set which consists
of an earwire and an earpiece, in which the receiver
is placed. The hearing aid uses a proprietary wireless
technology, WidexLink, to enable communication
between the left and the right hearing aid, as well as
between the hearing aids and the DEX accessories.
Your hearing aid may be provided with a listening
program called Zen. It makes musical tones (and some-
times a rushing noise) in the background. These sounds
are shaped according to your hearing loss.

7
Acoustic indicators
The hearing aid may be set to produce a signal to
indicate the use of certain functions. The signal may
be a spoken message or tones. The signal can also be
deactivated.

The battery
We recommend zinc-air batteries. Use a size 312 bat-
tery 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.
Inserting the battery
Before inserting a new battery into the
hearing aid, remember to remove the adhe-
sive tab. Once the tab has been removed,
the battery will start functioning after a few
seconds.
CAUTION
Do not use batteries if there is a sticky residue from the tab or
other unwanted substance, as this can cause the hearing aid to
malfunction.

9
Use the nail grip to gently swing the
battery drawer completely open. Do
not press the drawer beyond the open
position.
Place the battery in the drawer, so that the plus (+) sign
on the battery faces upward. You can use the battery
magnet provided to steer the battery into place.
If the battery drawer does not close easily, the battery
is incorrectly inserted.
When changing battery, it is a good idea to hold the
hearing aid over a table.

Battery drawer without a nail grip
The hearing aid may be provided with
a battery drawer without a nail grip,
which means that you need a tool to
open the battery drawer. This type
of drawer can be a good choice if the
hearing aid is worn by a child. A special
tool for opening the drawer will be in-
cluded with this drawer.
The battery drawer is opened as illus-
