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.
