Your Widex SENSO hearing aid is a very intricate,
high precision electronic unit. It has been care-
fully designed to withstand years of wear, under
the varying conditions the typical user finds them-
selves in each day. However, your hearing aid may
be damaged if exposed to extreme conditions, se-
vere blows, or general neglect.
To get full satisfaction from the quality and the
performance we have built into your new Widex
hearing aid, please handle it with care, and read
and follow the instructions carefully.

On-Off switch
Your SENSO hearing instru-
ment has an On-Off switch
built into the battery drawer.
The hearing instrument is
turned ON when the battery
drawer is pushed upwards, and
OFF when the battery drawer
is pulled downwards.
The OFF switch is clearly
marked with the letters OFF
on the back of the battery
drawer.
Please remember always to switch the aid off
when it is not in use for a lengthy period, or to re-
move the battery.

Volume control
Your P7 hearing aid has a digi-
tal volume control, shaped like
a small lever. Push the lever up-
wards for more volume. Push
the lever downwards for lower
volume. Use short touches for
minor corrections of the volume.
More rapid adjustment is ob-
tained by keeping the lever
pressed for several seconds.
When you raise the volume, you will hear a beep-
tone for each step the volume is raised. When the
maximum adjustment level is reached, a steady
tone will sound until you release the lever.
When you lower the volume, you will hear a special
beep-tone for each step the volume is lowered.
When the minimum adjustment level is reached, a
steady tone will sound until you release the lever.

SENSO P7 is equipped with a computer which has
been designed to adjust its sound automatically in
accordance with the sound environment around
you. Several thousand times per second, SENSO
analyzes the surroundings and tailors its sound
accordingly. Therefore, with this digital instru-
ment you only need to adjust the volume to obtain
as natural and comfortable a sound as possible.
Every time you turn your hearing aid on, the vol-
ume will be at a pre-set “normal” setting. This
means that any volume adjustments you might
have made before turning the hearing aid off, will
no longer be in effect. Adjust the volume to the de-
sired setting, if necessary, each time you turn the
aid on.
Important: If the volume in your hearing aid is
too loud, or if you wish any further information,
consult the Hearing Healthcare Professional where
you received your hearing aid.

M-T switch
This switch has three click po-
sitions:
“M” (Microphone only) for nor-
mal use or normal listening.
“T” (Telecoil only) for telephone
use and/or for induction loop
use.
Center position is an “MT” position whereby the
microphone and telecoil are on simultaneously.
This position is useful for situations where simul-
taneous microphone and telecoil reception is de-
sired e.g., classrooms with inductive loops.

Change/insertion of battery
The battery drawer swings out
on the opposite side of the
On-Off switch.
Clean the new battery care-
fully with a dry cloth to remove
any sticky residue before in-
serting.
The battery must be placed
with the + sign visible, in accor-
dance with the + sign on the
battery drawer.
If the battery drawer does not
close easily, the battery is in-
correctly inserted.

Exhausted batteries: If you hear four rapid
beep-tones while wearing your hearing aid, it is an
indication that you should exchange the batteries
as soon as possible, as the batteries are nearly ex-
hausted. Once the batteries are totally exhausted,
the hearing aid will be totally silent.
Never let an exhausted battery remain in the
hearing aid. Exhausted batteries may leak, which
could damage your hearing aid.

Recommended energy source:
Zinc Air battery type 13
This environmentally friendly type of battery has
about twice the lifetime of a mercury battery when
treated correctly. It can be stored up to two years,
as long as the sealing label is not removed. There-
fore, do not remove the label until just before in-
serting the battery in the instrument.
Once inserted, the battery will start functioning
after a few seconds.
Operate your hearing aid with the same battery
until it is exhausted (see p. 9).
On occasions, a new battery may be exhausted be-
cause it was not sealed properly. If your hearing
aid does not work after you have replaced the bat-
tery, try inserting a different new battery.
