IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Read these pages carefully before you begin using your transmitter.Hearing aids, CROS transmitters and batteries can be dangerous if swallowed or used improperly. Swallowing or improper use can result in severe injury or even fatalities. In case of ingestion, contact a doctor immediately.Take your hearing aid and transmitter out when you are not using them. This will help to ventilate the ear canal and prevent ear infections.Contact your doctor or hearing care professional immediately if you suspect you may have an ear infection.Remove your transmitter before showering, swimming or using a hair dryer.Do not wear your transmitter when applying perfume, spray, gels, lotion or cream.Do not dry your transmitter in a microwave oven - this will ruin it.Never use other peopleâs transmitters and never allow others to use yours, as this could damage your hearing.Never use your transmitter in environments where there may be explosive gases, such as in mines, etc.Keep hearing aids, their parts, accessories and batteries away from children.Never try to open or repair the transmitter yourself. Contact your hearing care professional if you need to have it repaired.Your transmitter contains radio communication technology. Always observe the environment in which you are using it. If any restrictions apply, you must take precautions to comply with these.Do not expose your transmitter to extreme temperatures or high humidity, and dry it quickly if it gets wet, or if you perspire heavily.Your transmitter should be stored and transported within the temperature and humidity ranges of -20°C to +55°C (-4°F to 131°F) and 10%-95% rH.Your transmitter is designed to operate from 0°C (32°F) to 50°C (122°F).For more information about your hearing aids, visit: https://global.widex.com.
THE TRANSMITTER
Indications for use
Hearing impaired people, who are deaf in one ear and have either normal hearing or a hearing impairment in the other ear.
Intended use
The transmitter is intended for use as a device that picks up sound at the ear on which it is worn and transmits it to a hearing aid on the other ear. The transmitter is worn on the deaf ear like an ordinary âbehind-the-earâ hearing aid. It receives sound from the surroundings and transmits it to a wireless hearing aid worn on the better ear, via a proprietary wireless technology.NOTEIt is not possible to use an assistive listening device during transmission.
The battery
Use a type 312 zinc-air battery for your transmitter.Always use a fresh, new battery that is precisely the kind recommended by your hearing care professional.NOTECheck that the battery is completely clean and free of any residue before inserting it in the transmitter. Otherwise your hearing aid may not function as expected.Never attempt to recharge the batteries, as they could explode.Never leave a flat battery in the transmitter while storing it. It could leak and ruin your transmitter.Dispose of used batteries as indicated on the packaging and take note of the expiry date.
Changing the battery
Tamper-resistant battery drawer
How to tell right from left
Your transmitter will be provided with a red mark if you use it on your right ear. The mark will be blue if the transmitter is for your left ear
Turning the transmitter on and off
To turn the transmitter on, close the battery lid.To turn off the transmitter, push the battery lid downwards.NOTEDon't forget to turn off the transmitter when it is not in use.
Putting on and removing the transmitter
1. Insert the ear-set in the ear while holding the lower part of the tube. Pulling the outer ear upwards and backwards at the same time can be helpful.2. Then place the transmitter behind the ear. The transmitter should rest comfortably on the ear, close to your head.Your transmitter can be fitted using different types of ear-sets. See the separate ear-set manual for more information about your ear-set.NOTEIf the transmitter doesn't feel comfortable, or if it doesn't fit properly, causing irritation, redness or the like, contact your hearing care professional.

CLEANING
Tools
You will receive the following cleaning tools with your transmitter:1.Cloth2.Brush3.Long wax-removing tool4.Short wax-removing tool5.Battery magnet
Cleaning the transmitter
Cleaning your transmitter aid every day will make it more efficient and more comfortable to wear.Wipe the transmitter with a soft cloth (for example the cloth you received from your hearing care professional).If the microphone openings are still blocked, contact your hearing care professional.Dry your transmitter quickly if it gets wet, or if you perspire heavily. Some people use a special dehumidifier to help keep their transmitter and hearing aid dry and clean. Ask your hearing care professional for more information.Leave the battery compartment open to ventilate the transmitter. For information on how to clean your ear-set, see the ear-set manual.Do not use any kind of liquid or disinfectant to clean your transmitter.Clean and inspect your transmitter every day after use to check that it is not broken. If it breaks while you are wearing it, leaving small fragments in your ear canal, contact your doctor. Never try to take out the fragments yourself.
