Thank you…

…for choosing a Widex hearing aid.

Your hearing aid is a sophisticated instrument that can

show a right-ear hearing aid.

We hope you will be pleased with your new Widex

hearing aid.

Important

Please read this booklet carefully before you start using

your hearing aid.

Your hearing aid, ear-set and accessories may not

look exactly as illustrated in this booklet. We also re-

serve the right to make any changes considered ne-

cessary.

Right/left identification

If you wear hearing aids on

both ears, it is a good idea to

ask your hearing care profes-

sional to put color marks on the

hearing aids (red mark = right

and blue mark = left).

The arrow shows the position

of the identification mark.

Function signals

Your hearing aid may be set to produce a signal to indi-

cate the use of certain functions. The signal may be a

spoken message or tones adjusted by the hearing care

professional in consultation with you. The signal can

also be deactivated.

Light emitting diode (LED)

The hearing aid is provided with a light emitting diode.

This may be set to flash when:

• a signal is received from a remote control, if such is

used.

• the hearing aid is turned on or certain listening pro-

grams are activated.

The battery

We recommend zinc-air batteries. Use a size 13 bat-

tery for your 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 regard-

ing disposal of used batteries on the battery pack.

Inserting the battery

Before inserting a new battery in the

hearing aid, remember to remove the

adhesive tab. Once the tab has been

removed, the battery will start func-

tioning after a few seconds. Do not

use batteries on which there is a sticky residue from the

tab or other unwanted substance.

1. Use the nail grip to swing the battery drawer open.

2. Place the battery so that the plus (+) sign of the bat-

tery faces upwards.

3. You can use the battery magnet provided to steer

the battery into place.

If the battery drawer does not close easily, the battery

is incorrectly inserted. When changing battery, it is a

good idea to hold the hearing aid over a table.

10 11

Low battery indication

In the standard setting the hearing aid will produce a

spoken message when the battery is nearly exhausted

(see page 7). If the setting with tone indication has

been chosen, four beep-tones will be produced. Once

the battery is totally exhausted, the hearing aid will be

completely silent. We recommend that you always

have a spare battery with you.

Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing aid.

Exhausted batteries may leak, damaging the hearing

aid.

Battery drawer lock

The hearing aid may be provided

with a battery drawer lock. This lock

can be a good choice if the hearing

aid is worn by a child. The tool used

to open the lock is the small screw-

driver included in the cleaning ac-

cessories.

The lock is opened by push-

ing it to the right and then

downward with the tool in

one movement as illustrat-

ed.

Important

Your hearing aid may stop functioning, for instance if

the battery is exhausted. You should be aware of this

possibility, in particular when you are in traffic or are

otherwise dependent on warning signals.

12 13

Turning the hearing aid on and off

The battery drawer of your hearing aid also functions

as the on/off switch.

1. Push the switch upwards to turn the hearing aid on.

If you have just turned off the hearing aid, wait at

least three seconds before turning it on again.

2. Push the switch downwards to turn the hearing aid

off.

3. The word “OFF” is clearly visible on the switch when

the hearing aid is turned off.

In the standard setting a spoken message will indicate

that the hearing aid has been switched on (see page 7).

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 several days.

12 3

Positioning the hearing aid and

earmold

1. Insert the earmold in the ear canal while holding

the lower part of the tubing.

2. It may help to pull the outer ear backwards and up-

wards with the opposite hand.

3. Place the hearing aid behind the ear, so that the

earhook of the hearing aid rests comfortably on the

ear, close to your head.

14 15

Removing the hearing aid and

earmold

1. Remove the hearing aid from its position behind

the ear.

2. Carefully pull the earmold out of the ear canal,

while holding the lower part of the tubing.

If it is difficult, you can try to move the earmold care-

fully from side to side while pulling it out. It may also

help to pull the outer ear backwards and upwards with

the opposite hand.

Automatic volume adjustment

The hearing aid volume is adjusted automatically in ac-

cordance with your sound environment.

Important

Your hearing aid is a powerful instrument. Do not

use it at uncomfortably high volume levels for

prolonged periods of time – it might damage your

hearing.

If the volume in your hearing aid is generally too loud

or too weak, or if the reproduced sounds are distorted,

or if you would like any further information, consult

your hearing care professional.

16 17

Fine tuning volume

Your hearing aid may be provided with a volume con-

trol, shaped like a small lever.

Push the lever upwards to gradu-

ally raise the volume.

Push the lever downwards to

gradually lower the volume.

Each time you operate the volume control, you will

hear a beep-tone unless you have chosen to have the

tone indication deactivated (see page 7). When you

raise the volume, you will hear a higher beep-tone for

each step the volume is raised. When you lower the vol-

ume, you will hear a deeper beep-tone for each step

the volume is lowered. When the maximum or mini-

mum adjustment level is reached, a steady tone will

sound.

To turn off the sound completely:

• Keep pressing the volume control lever downwards

after the steady tone has sounded.

To turn the sound on again:

• Press the lever upwards or

• Change listening program or

• Turn the hearing aid off, wait 3 seconds and turn it on

again.

Any adjustment of the volume setting will be cancelled

when your hearing aid is turned off.

If you wish to have the volume control disabled, please

consult your hearing care professional.

18 19

Listening programs

Your hearing aid may be provided with up to three lis-

tening programs intended for specific listening situa-

tions.

At the front of this booklet your hearing care profes-

sional can list which of the following listening pro-

grams are available in your hearing aid. If your needs

change over time, the combination of those listening

programs can be changed.

Master: Standard program.

Acclimatization: Has the same features as the Master

program, but provides slightly less amplification.

Music: For listening to music.

TV: For listening to the TV.

Comfort: Attenuates background noise.

Audibility Extender: Makes high-frequency sounds

audible.

T: In this program you listen via the telecoil (T) and not

via the hearing aid microphone (M). The telecoil is used

where a specially adapted telephone or loop system is

installed. If you activate the telecoil program, you listen

to a specific sound source and shut out surrounding

sounds. (Please remember that there are situations in

which it is particularly important to be able to hear the

surrounding sounds (e.g. traffic, warning signals)).

M + T: In this program you listen via the hearing aid

microphone (M) and the telecoil (T).

* Zen: Makes fractal tones. The generated sounds are

adjusted according to your hearing loss.

The Zen program may be used with amplification so

both the surrounding sounds and the fractal tones are

heard together. Or, it may be used alone (without

amplification) in quiet when you are not required to

hear surrounding sounds.

If your hearing aid is provided with this program op-

tion, up to two listening programs with one Zen style

each can be programmed. Furthermore, a special Zen

program can be made available. This is called Zen+ and

can contain up to three Zen styles.

* NOTE: The Zen listening program is only available

in mind440, mind330Z and mind220Z series models.

Zen+ is only available in the mind440 series.

Important

Use of the different Zen programs may interfere with

hearing surrounding sounds including speech. The

programs should not be used when hearing such

sounds is important. Switch the hearing aid to a non-

Zen program in those situations.
