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.
