WARNING
This booklet contains important information and instructions. Please
read this booklet carefully before you start using the hearing aid.
NOTE
Your hearing aid 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 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 minimal (10 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
The hearing aid uses a proprietary wireless technology, Widex-
Link, to enable communication between the left and the right
hearing aids, 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 sometimes a rushing noise)
in the background. These sounds are shaped according to your
hearing loss.

10
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.
