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. The hear-
ing aids may be provided with the Zen program intended to pro-
vide 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 range of hearing
loss severity from slight (16 dB HL to 25 dB HL) to moderately
severe (85 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.

Description of device
Your hearing aid is used with an ear-set which consists of an ear-
wire and an ear-tip, in which the receiver is placed. The hearing
aid uses a proprietary wireless technology, the WidexLink, to
enable communication between the left and the right hearing
aids, as well as between the hearing aids and the DEX accessories
(Not all hearing aid versions have access to DEX).
Your hearing aid may be provided with an optional listening pro-
gram called Zen. It makes musical tones (and sometimes a rush-
ing noise) in the background. These sounds are shaped according
to your hearing loss.

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
