thank You...

...for choosing a Widex hearing aid.

Your hearing aid is designed with high-quality sound,

ease, comfort and freedom of choice in mind.

We hope you will be pleased with your new Widex

hearing aid.

IMPORTANT

This booklet contains important information and instructions.

Please read this booklet carefully before you start using the hear-

ing aid.

Your hearing aid, ear-set and accessories may not look exactly

as illustrated in this booklet. We also reserve the right to make

any changes considered necessary.

RIGHT/LEFT IDENTIFICATION

The arrow shows the position of the

identification mark (red mark = right

and blue mark = left).

ACOUSTIC INDICATORS

The hearing aid may be set to produce a signal to in-

dicate 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.

THE BATTERY

We recommend zinc-air batteries. Use a size 10 bat-

tery for the 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 regard-

ing disposal of used batteries on the battery pack.

INSERTING THE BATTERY

Before inserting a new battery into

the hearing aid, remember to re-

move the adhesive tab. Once the tab

has been removed, the battery will

start functioning after a few sec-

onds. Do not use batteries on which

there is a sticky residue from the tab

or other unwanted substance.

Use the nail grip to gently swing the battery drawer

open. Do not press the drawer beyond the open po-

sition.

Place the battery in the drawer as illustrated, so that

the plus (+) sign on the battery is facing towards you

when you hold the hearing aid as shown. You can use

the battery magnet provided to steer the battery

into place.

If the battery drawer does not close easily, the bat-

tery is incorrectly inserted.

When changing battery, it is a good idea to hold the

hearing aid over a table.

10 11

REMOVING THE BATTERY

1. Open the battery drawer as previously described.

Place the hearing aid on the provided cloth on a

clean, plane surface and turn it as illustrated.

2. Supporting the drawer with your finger, use the

battery magnet provided to push the battery out

of the battery drawer from the minus side.

1 2

BATTERY DRAWER WITHOUT A NAIL GRIP

The hearing aid may be provided

with a battery drawer without a

nail grip, which means that you

need a tool to open the battery

drawer. This type of drawer can

be a good choice if the hearing

aid is worn by a child. A special

tool for opening the drawer will

be included with this drawer.

The battery drawer is opened as

illustrated.

12 13

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.

LOW BATTERY INDICATION

An acoustic indicator will sound when the battery is

nearly exhausted, unless this function has been disa-

bled (see page 7). 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.

TURNING THE HEARING AID ON AND OFF

The battery drawer of the hearing aid also functions

as the on/off switch.

Close the battery drawer to turn on

the hearing aid. An acoustic indica-

tor will indicate that the hearing aid

has been switched on unless this

function has been disabled.

Open the battery drawer to turn off

the hearing aid.

Please remember to turn off the

hearing aid when it is not in use. Re-

move the battery if the hearing aid

will not be used for several days.

14 15

VOLUME ADJUSTMENT

The hearing aid volume is adjusted automatically in

accordance with your sound environment.

Ordinarily you cannot fine-tune the volume in your

hearing aid. However, if you have a remote control,

this option becomes available.

In the default setting, any volume adjustment via the

remote control will affect both hearing aids.

For any adjustment of the steps in which volume in-

creases or decreases, consult your hearing care pro-

fessional.

If you have a remote control, please also refer to the

user instructions for this.

IMPORTANT

If the volume in the hearing aid is generally too loud or too weak,

or the reproduced sounds are distorted, or if you would like any

further information, consult your hearing care professional.

LOST PARTNER ALARM

(Note: Only applicable if this feature has been acti-

vated by your hearing care professional).

If one of your hearing aids falls off your ear, and/or

the battery is exhausted, a tone signal and a spoken

message will sound two times in the other hearing

aid, and a diode will flash on both hearing aids.

When the lost hearing aid is repositioned, and/or the

battery is exchanged, the diodes stop flashing.

16 17

LISTENING PROGRAMS

By default, your hearing aid has one listening pro-

gram (Master). If you have a remote control, your

hearing aid may additionally be provided with four of

the following programs, plus the special Zen pro-

gram called Zen+.

Please also refer to the user instructions for your re-

mote control.

Music For listening to music

TV For listening to the TV

Comfort Attenuates background noise

Reverse focus Focus on sounds from behind

Audibility Extender Makes high-frequency sounds

audible

Phone For listening to the telephone

Zen Generates different kinds of

tones. Contains one style

Compound programs



The Master program in one ear

and Zen, Audibility Extender,

Reverse focus or Phone in the

other

Zen+ Special Zen program with up to

three different Zen styles

If your needs change over time, the combination of

listening programs can be altered.

The Zen program may be used with amplification so

that both the surrounding sounds and the Zen tones

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

amplification) in quiet when you are not required to

hear surrounding sounds.

The duration of the Zen play time can be set by your

hearing care professional according to your needs.

IMPORTANT

Use of the different Zen programs may interfere with hearing sur-

rounding 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.

THE HEARING AID

SWITCHING BETWEEN THE LISTENING PROGRAMS

Each time you change program via the remote con-

trol, an acoustic indicator will sound unless this func-

tion has been disabled.

USING A TELEPHONE

When using a telephone, we

recommend that you hold

the telephone against your

head at an angle above your

ear, rather than directly

against the ear. If the sound

is not optimal, try moving

the telephone earpiece to a

slightly different position.
