standards. Nevertheless, it is possible that unforeseen interference may
occur in the hearing aid due to electromagnetic radiation from other
products such as alarm systems, room surveillance equipment and
mobile phones.
• Although your device 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.

In order to show caution, we advise to follow the guidelines recom-
mended by manufacturers of defibrillators and pacemakers regarding
use of mobile phones:
If you wear an active implantable device keep the Wireless Hearing
Aids and Hearing Aid Accessories such as wireless remote controls or
communicators at least 15 cm away from the implant.
If you experience any interference, do not use the hearing aids and/or
hearing aid accessories, and contact the manufacturer of the implant.
Please note that interference can also be caused by power lines, elec-
trostatic discharge, airport metal detectors etc.
If you have an active brain implant, please contact the manufacturer of
the implant for risk evaluation.
If you have an implantable device, we advise keeping magnets* at
least 15 cm away from the implant. (*= can be specified as Autophone
