If you need help to identify the serial number (usually six or seven digits)
on the product, please contact your hearing care professional.
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.

WARNING
This hearing aid is capable of producing a sound pressure level exceed-
ing 132 dB SPL. There may be a risk of damaging your residual hearing.
NOTE
In addition to these user instructions, a separate user manual is pro-
vided describing the various ear-set solutions available for your

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 de-
vices 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 range of hearing
loss severity from moderate (40 dB HL) to severe (100 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 as well as tinnitus manage-
ment.

identification mark.

The hearing aid is provided with a light emitting diode. This may
be set to flash when:
• a signal is received from a remote control, if such is used.
• the hearing aid is turned on or certain listening programs are
activated.

14
The battery
We recommend zinc-air batteries. Use a size 13 battery for the
hearing aid.
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 dispos-
al of used batteries. Otherwise there is a risk that the battery life
may be reduced.
9 514 0273 041 #02_m-19.indd 14 6/5/2015 4:17:55 PM

15
Inserting the battery
Before inserting a new battery into the hearing
aid, remember to remove the adhesive tab. Once
the tab has been removed, wait 60 seconds before
placing the battery into the hearing aid.
CAUTION
Do not use batteries if there is a sticky residue from the tab or other un-
wanted substance, as this can cause the hearing aid to malfunction.
9 514 0273 041 #02_m-19.indd 15 6/5/2015 4:17:55 PM

16
Use the nail grip to gently swing
the battery drawer open.
9 514 0273 041 #02_m-19.indd 16 6/5/2015 4:17:55 PM

17
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 incor-
rectly inserted.
When changing battery, it is a good idea to hold the hearing aid
over a table.
9 514 0273 041 #02_m-19.indd 17 6/5/2015 4:17:55 PM

18
The hearing aid may be provided
with a battery drawer lock. This lock
can be a good choice if the hearing
aid is worn by a child. A special tool
for opening the lock may be includ-
ed when ordering the lock (see the
drawing).
The lock is opened by pushing it to
the right and then downward with
the tool in one movement as illus-
trated.

19
Low battery indication
An acoustic indicator will sound when the battery is nearly ex-
hausted, unless this function has been disabled (see page 12).
We recommend that you always have a spare battery with you.
WARNING
Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing aid. Exhausted batter-
ies may leak, damaging the hearing aid.
WARNING
Your hearing aid may stop functioning, for instance if the battery is ex-
hausted. You should be aware of this possibility, in particular when you
are in traffic or are otherwise dependent on warning signals.

20
Turning the hearing aid on and off
The battery drawer of the hearing aid also functions as the on/
off switch.
Push the switch upwards to turn on the
hearing aid. An acoustic indicator will indi-
cate that the hearing aid has been switched
on unless this function has been disabled.
Push the switch downwards to turn off the
hearing aid.
