WARNING
This booklet and the manual “Ear-sets for Widex BTE hearing aids”
contain important information and instructions. Read these booklets
carefully before you start using the hearing aid.
NOTE
Your hearing aid, ear-set and accessories may not look exactly as illus-
trated in this booklet. We also reserve the right to make any changes
considered necessary.

Intended use
The hearing aids are intended as air conduction amplification
devices to be used in everyday listening environments. The hear-
ing aids may be provided with the Zen program intended to pro-
vide a relaxing sound background (i.e. music/noise source) for
adults who desireto listen to such a background in quiet.
Indications for use
The devices are indicated for individuals with a range of hearing
loss severity from moderate (40 dB HL) to profound (up to 120 dB
HL) and all hearing loss configurations.
They are to be programmed by licensed hearing care profession-
als (audiologists, hearing aid specialists, otolaryngologists) who
are trained in hearing (re)habilitation.

The battery
We recommend zinc-air batteries. Use a size 675 battery for the
hearing aid.
To obtain replacement batteries, please consult your hearing care
professional. It is important to take note of the expiration date
and the recommendations on the battery pack regarding disposal
of used batteries. Otherwise there is a risk that the battery life
may be reduced.
Inserting the battery
Before inserting a new battery into the hearing
aid, remember to remove the adhesive tab. Once
the tab has been removed, wait 60 seconds before
placing the battery into the hearing aid.
9 514 0298 041 #03.indd 12 18-06-2020 13:14:39
13
CAUTION
Do not use batteries if there is a sticky residue from the tab or other un-
wanted substance, as this can cause the hearing aid to malfunction.

14
Use the nail grip to gently swing the bat-
tery drawer open.
Place the battery in the drawer, so that the
plus (+) sign on the battery faces upward.
You can use the battery magnet provided
to steer the battery into place.
9 514 0298 041 #03.indd 14 18-06-2020 13:14:39
15
If the battery drawer does not close easily, the battery is incor-
rectly inserted.
When changing battery, it is a good idea to hold the hearing aid
over a table.

16
Child-proof battery drawer
If the hearing aid is going to be used by a child, you can ask your
hearing care professional to provide the hearing aid with a child-
proof battery drawer.
Use the battery magnet you’ve received with your hearing aid to
push out the battery.
9 514 0298 041 #03.indd 16 18-06-2020 13:14:40
17
Low battery indication
A spoken message or beep tones will sound when the battery is
nearly exhausted. If the battery drains suddenly there may how-
ever be no warning. We recommend that you always have a spare
battery with you.
WARNING
Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing aid. Exhausted batter-
ies may leak, damaging the hearing aid.
WARNING
Your hearing aid may stop functioning, for instance if the battery is ex-
hausted. You should be aware of this possibility, in particular when you
are in traffic or are otherwise dependent on warning signals.

Turning the hearing aid on
and off
The battery drawer of the hearing aid
also functions as the on/off switch.
Push the switch upwards to turn on
the hearing aid.
Push the switch downwards to turn
off the hearing aid.
The word “OFF” is clearly visible on
the switch when the hearing aid is
turned off.

Please remember to turn off the hearing aid when it is not in use.
Remove the battery if the hearing aid will not be used for sev-
eral days.

Positioning the hearing aid
Insert the earmold in the ear canal while holding the lower part of
the tube. It may help to pull the outer ear backwards and upwards
with the opposite hand.
Place the hearing aid behind the ear, so that the hearing aid and
tube rest comfortably on the ear, close to your head.
