WARNING

• Be aware that the use of any type of hearing aid may involve

a slightly increased risk of infection in the ear canal. An infec-

tion can arise as a result of inadequate ventilation of the ear.

We therefore recommend 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 infection occurs, you should

seek medical attention and contact your hearing care profes-

sional for advice on how to disinfect the various hearing aid

parts. Do not under any circumstances use alcohol, chlorine

or similar substances.

• Do not use Widex hearing aids in mines or other areas with

explosive gases.

• Do not wear your hearing aid during radiation, X-rays, MRIs,

CT or other medical treatments and scans. The emissions

from these procedures as well as from other types of radia-

tion, such as that in a microwave oven, can damage your hear-

ing aid. Radiation from, for example, room surveillance equip-

ment, burglar alarms and mobile phones is weaker and will not

damage the hearing aid, but may create audible interference.

CAUTION

• Although your hearing aid has been designed to comply with

the most stringent international electromagnetic compatibility

standards, the possibility cannot be excluded that it may cause

interference with other equipment, such as medical devices.

• Never try to open or repair the hearing aid yourself.
