DESCRIPTION OF THE HEARING AID
Your hearing aid is used with an ear-set which consists
of a tube and an ear-tip or earmould.
The illustration below shows the hearing aid without
the ear-set. The choice of ear-set solution depends on
your specific needs. Please refer to the separate ear-set
user manual.
1. Microphone openings
2. Volume control (optional)
3. Program button
4. On/off switch
5. Battery drawer with nail grip
Your hearing aid may be provided with a listening pro-
gram called Zen. It makes musical tones (and some-
times a rushing noise) in the background. These sounds
are shaped according to your hearing loss.
If you need help to identify the serial number (usually six or seven
digits) on the product, please contact your hearing care professional.

NOTE
In addition to these user instructions, a separate user manual is
provided describing the various ear-set solutions available for
your hearing aid: “Ear-sets for Widex BTE hearing aids”.
WARNING
This booklet and the manual “Ear-sets for Widex BTE hearing
aids” contain important information and instructions. Read
these booklets carefully before you start using the hearing aid.
NOTE
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.

Intended use
The hearing aids are intended as air conduction amplifi-
cation devices to be used in everyday listening environ-
ments. The hearing aids may be provided with the Zen
program intended to provide a relaxing sound back-
ground (i.e. music/noise source) for adults who desire
to listen to such a background in quiet.
Indications for use
The devices are indicated for individuals with a range of
hearing loss severity from minimal (10 dB HL) to severe
(80 dB HL) and all hearing loss configurations.
They are to be programmed by licensed hearing care
professionals (audiologists, hearing aid specialists, oto-
laryngologists) who are trained in hearing (re)habilita-
tion.
7
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.
Acoustic indicators
The hearing aid may be set to produce a signal to in-
dicate the use of certain functions. The signal may
be tones (SmartTone) or a spoken message (Smart-
Speak)*. The signal can also be deactivated.

The battery
We recommend zinc-air batteries. Use a size 13 battery
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 on the bat-
tery pack regarding disposal of used batteries. Other-
wise there is a risk that the battery life may be reduced.
Inserting the battery
Before inserting a new battery into the
hearing aid, remember to remove the ad-
hesive tab. Once the tab has been removed,
the battery will start functioning after a few
seconds.
CAUTION
Do not use batteries if there is a sticky residue from the tab or
other unwanted substance, as this can cause the hearing aid to
malfunction.
9
Use the nail grip to gently swing the
battery drawer open.
Place the battery in the drawer, so that the plus (+) sign
on the battery faces upward. 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.
The hearing aid may be provided with a special battery
drawer, helping to secure the battery in the drawer. This
type of drawer can be a good choice if the hearing aid
is worn by a child.
10
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.
WARNING
Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing aid. Exhausted
batteries may leak, damaging the hearing aid.
WARNING
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.
