GENERAL
• 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.
good adviCe and warnings
Hearing aids and batteries can be dangerous if
swal lowed or used improperly. Swallowing or
improper use can result in severe injury or even
fatalities. In case of ingestion, contact a physician
immediately.
• Keep hearing aids and their parts, accessories and
batteries out of reach of children and anyone else
who might swallow such items or otherwise cause
injury to themselves. Do not change batteries in
front of them and do not let them see where you
keep your battery supply. Discard used batteries
carefully.
• Batteries are very small and can easily be mistaken
for pills or the like. Never put a battery or hearing
aid in your mouth for any reason as you may risk
swallowing it.
CAUTION
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type or re-
charged. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
