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 hearing aid
The illustration below shows the hearing aid and ear-
set. The ear-set consists of tubing and an earmould.
1. Microphone cover giving access to the micro-
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.

19
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.
