NOTE
In addition to these user instructions, a separate user manual is
provided describing the various ear-set solutions available for your
transmitter.
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 transmitter.
NOTE
Your transmitter and ear-set may not look exactly as illustrated in this
booklet. We also reserve the right to make any changes considered
necessary.

6
Intended use
The transmitter is intended for use as a device that picks up sound
at the ear on which it is worn and transmits it to a hearing aid on
the better ear.
Indications for use
The WIDEX CROS solution is indicated for individuals who are deaf
in one ear and have normal or impaired hearing in the other.
It is to be programmed by licensed hearing care professionals
(audiologists, hearing aid specialists, otolaryngologists) who are
trained in hearing (re)habilitation.
Description of device
The transmitter is worn on the deaf ear like an ordinary “behind-
the-ear” hearing aid. It receives sound from the surroundings and
transmits it to a Widex wireless hearing aid worn on the better
ear, via a proprietary wireless technology called WidexLink.

7
The battery
We recommend zinc-air batteries. Use a size 312 battery for the
transmitter.
To obtain replacement batteries, please consult your hearing care
professional. It is important to take note of the expiration date
and the recommendations on the battery pack regarding disposal
of used batteries.
Inserting the battery
Before inserting a new battery, remember to
remove the adhesive tab. Once the tab has been
removed, wait 60 seconds before placing the bat-
tery into the transmitter.

8
CAUTION
Do not use batteries if there is a sticky residue from the tab or other
unwanted substance, as this can cause the device to malfunction.
Use the nail grip to gently swing the battery
drawer open.

9
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.

10
Battery drawer without a nail grip
The device may be provided with a battery
drawer without a nail grip. This type of
drawer can be a good choice if the device is
worn by a child. A special tool for opening the
drawer will be included with this drawer.
