DESCRIPTION OF THE HEARING AID
Your hearing aid is used with an ear-set which consists
of a tube and an ear-tip or earmould.
The illustration below shows the hearing aid without an
ear-set. The choice of ear-set solution depends on your
specific needs. Please refer to the separate ear-set user
manual.

Your hearing aid may be provided with an optional lis-
tening program called Zen. It makes musical tones (and
sometimes a rushing noise) in the background. These
sounds are shaped according to your hearing loss.
If you need help to identify the serial number (usually six or seven
digits) on the product, please contact your hearing care profes-
sional.

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.

6
Intended use
The hearing aids are intended as air conduction amplifi-
cation devices to be used in everyday listening environ-
ments. The hearing aids may be provided with the Zen
program intended to provide a relaxing sound back-
ground (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 severe
(80 dB HL) and all hearing loss configurations.
They are to be programmed by licensed hearing care
professionals (audiologists, hearing aid specialists, oto-
laryngologists) who are trained in hearing (re)habilita-
tion.

7
Right/left identification
If you wear hearing aids on both ears,
the hearing aids can be provided with
coloured marks (red mark = right and
blue mark = left).
The arrow shows the position of the
identification mark.
Acoustic indicators
The hearing aid may be set to produce a signal to in-
dicate the use of certain functions. The signal may
be tones (SmartTone) or a spoken message (Smart-
Speak)*. The signal can also be deactivated.

The battery
We recommend zinc-air batteries. Use a size 10 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 bat-
tery pack regarding disposal of used batteries. Other-
wise 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 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
open. Do not press the drawer beyond the open po-
sition.
Place the battery in the drawer as illustrated, so that the
plus (+) sign on the battery is facing towards you when
you hold the hearing aid as shown. You can use the bat-
tery 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.

10
Removing the battery
1. Open the battery drawer as previously described.
Place the hearing aid on the provided cloth on a
clean, plane surface and turn it as illustrated.
2. Supporting the drawer with your finger, use the
battery magnet provided to push the battery out of
the battery drawer from the minus side.
