Please read the information on the following pages
before using your hearing aid.
A hearing aid will not restore normal hearing and
will not prevent or improve a hearing impairment
resulting from organic conditions. Infrequent use
of a hearing aid does not permit a user to attain full
benefit from it. The use of a hearing aid is only
part of hearing habilitation and may need to be
supplemented by auditory training and instruction
in lipreading.
2.1Hazard warnings
Use only hearing aids that have been specially
programmed for you by your hearing care
professional. Other hearing aids may be ineffective
and may, in certain cases, damage your hearing.
Changes or modifications to the hearing aid that
were not explicitly approved by Phonak are not
permitted. Such changes may damage your ear or
the hearing aid.

immediately!
If you feel pain in or behind your ear, if it is inflamed,
if skin irritation or accelerated accumulations of

2.2 Information on product safety
Never immerse your hearing aid in water! Protect
it from excessive moisture. Always remove your
hearing aid before showering, bathing, or swimming.
Protect your hearing aid from the heat (never
leave it near a window or in the car). Never use a
microwave or other heating devices to dry your
hearing aid. Ask your hearing care professional
about suitable drying methods.
When you are not using your hearing aid, leave the
battery compartment open so that any moisture
can evaporate. Make sure that you always completely
dry your hearing aid after use. Store the hearing
aid in a safe, dry and clean place.
Do not drop your hearing aid! Dropping onto a hard
surface can damage your hearing aid.
