Operating Instructions

 DEALING WITH PROBLEMS
If you experience any malfunctions when using your hear-
ing aids, this does not necessarily mean that they are faulty.
Therefore first check your hearing aid to make sure that:
•
the hearing aid is switched on (see “Switching on and o”
Section 3.4),
•
the battery is not weak or flat,
•
the volume is not at the lowest setting (increase the volume
slightly if necessary),
•
the right program has been set (change program if
necessary),
•
the receiver unit / earwax protection system is not blocked.
If this does not eliminate the fault, consult your hearing care
professional, who will be pleased to help you.
NOTE: MALFUNCTIONS!
Despite their EMC-compatible design, your devices may
be subject to interference from other electrical equipment.
In this case move away from the source of interference.
Warning: Risk of suocation!
Batteries, hearing aids and other small parts can be swal-
lowed. Keep such parts out of the reach of children under
36 month years of age, the mentally disabled and pets.
Should a battery, hearing aid or other small parts be acci-
dentally swallowed, please consult a doctor immediately.
Warning: Risk of injury!
In very rare cases the dome may remain in the ear
canal on removal. Should this happen, please contact
your doctor or hearing care professional at once.
Please do not try to remove the dome yourself.
Warning: Damage to hearing!
The maximum volume of the tinnitus combi instrument lies in
a range that can lead to hearing loss according to OSHA regu-
lations. The tinnitus combi instrument should not be used for
longer than eight (8) hours, at a sound pressure level (SPL) of
less than 90 dB SPL. At a higher sound pressure, the device
should not be used for more than two (2) hours daily. Under no
circumstances should the tinnitus combi instrument be used
with a volume that is not appropriate for the user.
Warning: Risk of explosion!
Do not use hearing aids in environments where there
is a risk of explosion (e.g. in mines or industrial plants
subject to such risk).
