YOURWIDEXHEARINGAID

Welcome to Widex

Congratulations on your new hearing aid.

Use your hearing aid regularly, even if it takes some time getting used to it.

Infrequent users don’t usually get the full benefit of a hearing aid.

NOTE

Your hearing aid and its accessories may not look exactly as illustrated in this

booklet. We also reserve the right to make any changes we consider necessary.

Your hearing aid at a glance

The illustration shows your hearing aid without the ear-set. For further in-

formation on the ear-set see the ear-set manual. The ear-set consists of a

tube and an ear-tip or earmold, and it is the part of your hearing aid that

you wear inside your ear.

2. Volume control

Important safety information

Read these pages carefully before you begin using your hearing aid.

Hearing aids and batteries can be dangerous if swallowed or used im-

properly. Swallowing or improper use can result in severe injury or even

fatalities. In case of ingestion, contact a doctor immediately. In case of in-

gestion, contact a doctor immediately and the 24 Hour National Button

Battery Ingestion Hotline at (202) 625-3333.

Take your hearing aids out when you are not using them. This will help to

ventilate the ear canal and prevent ear infections.

Contact your doctor or hearing care professional immediately if you sus-

pect you may have an ear infection.

Remove your hearing aids before showering, swimming or using a hair

dryer.

Do not wear your hearing aids when applying perfume, spray, gels, lotion

or cream.

Do not dry your hearing aid in a microwave oven - this will ruin it.

Never use other people’s hearing aids and never allow others to use

yours, as this could damage your hearing.

Never use your hearing aids in environments where there may be explo-

sive gases, such as in mines, etc.

Keep hearing aids, their parts, accessories and batteries away from chil-

dren.

Never try to open or repair the hearing aid yourself. Contact your hearing

care professional if you need to have your hearing aid repaired.

Your hearing aids contain radio communication technology. Always ob-

serve the environment in which you are using them. If any restrictions ap-

ply, you must take precautions to comply with these.

Your hearing aid is very powerful and it can play sounds that exceed a

level of 132 dB. There may therefore be a risk of damaging your remain-

ing hearing.

Do not expose your hearing aids to extreme temperatures or high humid-

ity, and dry them quickly if they get wet, or if you perspire heavily.

Your hearing aids should be stored and transported within the temperature

and humidity ranges of -20°C to +55°C (-4°F to 131°F) and 10%-95% rH.

Storage and transportation up to 60°C (140°F) with 10%-95% rH can be ac-

cepted in shorter periods (duration of max. of 2 weeks).

Your hearing aids are designed to operate from 0°C (32°F) to 50°C (122°F).

THEHEARINGAID

Indications for use

The FASHION model is indicated for individuals with a range of hearing loss

from minimal (0 dB HL) to severe-to-profound (95 dB HL) and all hearing

loss configurations.

The FASION POWER model is indicated for individuals with a range of hear-

ing loss from minimal (20 dB HL) to severe-to-profound (110 dB HL) and all

hearing loss configurations.

They are to be programmed by licensed hearing care professionals (audiol-

ogists, hearing aid specialists, otolaryngologists) who are trained in hearing

(re)habilitation.

Intended use

The hearing aids are intended as air conduction amplification devices to be

used in everyday listening environments. The hearing aids may be equipped

with the Zen program intended to provide a relaxing sound background (i.e.

music/noise source) for adults older than 21 years who desire to listen to

such a background in quiet.

The battery

For FASHION: use a type 312 zinc-air battery.

For FASHION POWER: use a type 13 zinc-air battery.

Always use a fresh, new battery that is precisely the kind recommended by

your hearing care professional.

NOTE

Check that the battery is completely clean and free of any residue before insert-

ing it in the hearing aid. Otherwise your hearing aid may not function as expec-

ted.

Never attempt to recharge your hearing aid batteries, as they could ex-

plode.

Never leave a weak battery in the hearing aids while storing them. It

could leak and ruin your hearing aid.

Dispose of used batteries as indicated on the packaging and take note of

the expiry date.

Low battery indication

When the battery is weak, a sound signal will play. If the battery drains sud-

denly there may however be no warning. We recommend carrying a spare

battery with you wherever you go.

Changing the battery

To change the battery, do as follows:

Take the adhesive tab off the new battery and make

sure there is no sticky substance left on it. Let it

"breathe" for 60 seconds.

Use the nail grip to gently swing the battery door

open and remove the old battery.

Now place the new battery in the drawer as shown.

Close the drawer. If it doesn't close easily, the battery

is not placed correctly.

If you are not using the hearing aid for a few days, re-

move the battery.

NOTE

Avoid dropping your hearing aid - hold the hearing aid above a soft surface

while changing the battery.

Tamper-resistant battery drawer

If the hearing aid is going to be used by a child, you can ask your hearing

care professional to provide it with a tamper-resistant battery drawer.

To open battery drawer, use the special tool you've re-

ceived, and do as illustrated.

Sound signals

Your hearing aid plays sounds to inform you that certain features have been

activated or that you have changed programs. These sounds may be spoken

messages or tones, depending on your needs and preferences.

Program 1 Message/one short beep

Program 2 Message/two short beeps

Program 3 Message/three short beeps

Program 4 Message/one short and one long beep

Program 5 Message/one long beep and two short beeps

Zen+ Message/tone

Ask your hearing care professional to turn these sounds signals off if you

don't need them.

Lost partner

(Only available in wireless 440-series)

Your hearing care professional can turn on a feature in your hearing aid that

warns you whenever it loses contact with the hearing aid in the opposite

ear. You will hear a spoken message in your ear.

How to tell right from left

The hearing aid for your right ear has a red mark. The hearing aid for your

left ear has a blue mark.
