• Be aware that the use of any type of hearing aid
may involve a slightly increased risk of infection in
the ear canal. An infection can arise as a result of
inadequate ventilation of the ear. We therefore rec-
ommend that you remove the hearing aid and ear-
set from your ear at night to allow the ear canal to
be ventilated. Make sure that you clean and inspect
your hearing aid and ear-set as required. If an in-
fection occurs, you should seek medical attention
and contact your hearing care professional for ad-
vice on how to disinfect the various hearing aid
parts. Do not under any circumstances use alcohol,
chlorine or similar substances.
• Your hearing aid uses a built-in transceiver for co-
ordination between the hearing aids. The magnetic
field strength of the transceiver is very low.
• Your hearing aid has been tested for interference
according to international standards. Nevertheless,
it is possible that unforeseen interference may oc-
cur in the hearing aid due to electromagnetic radi-
ation from other products such as alarm systems
and mobile phones.
• Although your hearing aid has been designed to
comply with the most stringent international elec-
tromagnetic compatibility standards, the possibili-
ty cannot be excluded that it may cause interfer-
ence with other equipment, such as medical devic-
es.
• Never try to open or repair the hearing aid your-
self.
• Do not wear your hearing aid during X-rays, scans
or radiation treatments. Other types of radiation,
such as that in a microwave oven, can also damage
your hearing aid. Radiation from, for example,
room surveillance equipment, burglar alarms and
mobile phones is weaker and will not damage the
hearing aid.
• Widex hearing aids are not certified for use in
mines or other areas with explosive gases.
