Thank you…

…for choosing a Widex hearing aid.

Your hearing aid is a sophisticated instrument that can

be adjusted to your requirements in consultation with

your hearing care professional.

All illustrations in this booklet

show a right-ear hearing aid.

Unless otherwise stated, the

same principles apply to the left

ear.

We hope you will be pleased with your new Widex

hearing aid.

The illustration below shows the hearing aid and ear-

set. The ear-set consists of tubing and an earmould.

phone openings, where the sound enters the hear-

ing aid.

2. Volume control for fine tuning of volume is avail-

able on some models.

3. Light emitting diode (see page 6)

4. Program button for choosing between different

listening programs

5. On/off switch

Important

Please read this booklet carefully before you start

using your hearing aid.

Function signals

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

cate the use of certain functions. The signal can 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

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.

Right/left identification

If you wear hearing aids on both

ears, the hearing aids can be

provided with coloured marks

(red mark = right and blue mark

= left).

The arrow shows the position

of the identification mark.

The battery

We recommend Zinc Air batteries. Use a type 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 expiry date and the recommendations regarding

disposal of used batteries on the battery pack. The bat-

tery life will depend on a number of factors, such as the

setting of your hearing aid, how many hours you use it

daily and the listening environments in which you use

it.

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 open the battery drawer.

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

battery faces upwards.

3. You can use the provided battery magnet to steer

the battery into place.

If the battery drawer does not close easily, the battery

is incorrectly inserted.

Low battery indication

In the standard setting the hearing aid will produce a

spoken message when the battery is nearly exhausted

(see page 6). If a 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. Exactly how long the hearing aid will

function after the low battery indication varies from

one case to another. 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. When changing battery, it is a good idea to hold

the hearing aid over a table.

Your 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.

Turning the hearing aid on and off

The battery drawer is placed at the bottom of the hear-

ing aid. The battery drawer 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 6).

Please remember to switch the hearing aid off when it

is not in use. Remove the battery if the hearing aid will

not be used for several days.

Placing the hearing aid and earmould

1. Insert the earmould in the ear canal while holding

the lower part of the tubing.

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

upwards with the opposite hand.

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

earhook rests comfortably on the ear, close to your

head.

Removing the hearing aid and

earmould

1. Remove the hearing aid from its position behind

the ear.

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

while holding the lower part of the tubing.

If it is difficult, you can try to move the earmould 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.

Possible start-up settings

The hearing aid can be set to start up in two different

ways. In the standard start-up setting the hearing aid

minimises whistling while it is being placed on the ear.

The alternative is a setting where the hearing aid whis-

tles slightly while you place it on the ear. Together with

your hearing care professional you can choose the

start-up setting that suits your needs best.

Automatic volume adjustment

The hearing aid volume is adjusted automatically in ac-

cordance with your sound environment.

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 automatically set

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 6). When you

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

each step the volume is raised. When you lower the

volume, 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.

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 you would like any further information,

consult your hearing care professional.

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.

Listening programs

Depending on how your hearing care professional has

programmed your hearing aid, you can have up to six

listening programs intended for specific listening situa-

tions.

At the back of this booklet your hearing care profes-

sional can list the listening programs that are available

in your hearing aid. If your needs change over time, the

combination of listening programs can be changed.

When selecting a listening program, please remember

that there are situations where it is particularly impor-

tant to be able to hear the surrounding sounds (e.g.

traffic, warning signals).

Master: Standard program

Acclimatisation: Has the same features as the Master

program, but provides slightly less amplification.

Music: For listening to music.

TV: For listening to the TV.
