Remove the used battery if present. Insert the new battery with the positive 4.
side in the correct position.
Always use new Zinc-Air batteries that have a minimum remaining shelf 5.
life of 1 year.
Gently close the battery door.6.
Tip: Remove the batteries to prevent battery leakage or corrosion when the hearing
instruments are not in use for an extended period of time.
Getting started
On/Off function
When the battery door is closed, the hearing instrument 1.
turns on, and the default program will be activ ated.
To turn off the hearing instrument, open the battery door. 2.
Many individuals can use their fingernail to pull it open.
Tip: Whenever the hearing instruments are not in use, remember to turn them off to avoid
unnecessary battery consumption.
SmartStart
Hearing instruments can be turned on once you have placed them on your ears. If you prefer to
turn them on just prior to placing them on your ear, your hearing care professional can activate
a function called SmartStart. This function will delay the time in which the hearing instruments

two sets of descending tones. After this, your hearing instrument and ReSound Unite Remote
Control will continue to work as usual, but you will not be able to use your ReSound Unite TV
and Phone Clip. At some point the battery level will also be too low to support the remote con-
trol as well and you will once again hear the descending tones. The hearing instruments will
continue to work as usual. Once a new battery is inserted, full operation of the accessories will
resume.
Sports lock
The Sports lock will be applied or adjusted by your hearing care professional.
Low battery indicator
Your hearing care professional can activate a low battery indicator in your hearing instruments.
The hearing instrument will reduce amplification and play a melody if battery power gets too
low. This signal will recur every five minutes until the hearing instrument automatically switches
off. The timing of the low battery indicator can vary slightly, depending on the type of battery
used. It is recommended that you keep spare batteries on hand.
Low battery indicator (instruments paired with accessories only)
Active usage of the ReSound Unite accessories (Remote Control, Phone Clip and Unite TV)
requires more battery power from the hearing instruments than when they are working without
accessories which means that battery life is highly dependent on the amount of wireless
accessory usage. When the battery in the hearing instrument has depleted to a level at which use
of the ReSound Unite TV and Phone Clip cannot be supported, the hearing instrument will play

By experimenting, an easier method may be discovered. With proper insertion,
hearing instruments should fit snugly but comfortably. If the hearing instruments
cause irritation of the ears, contact your hearing care professional.
Note: Never attempt to modify the shape of the hearing instrument, ear-
moulds, or tubing yourself.
Tip: It may be helpful to pull your ear up and outward with your opposite
hand during insertion.
Inserting/Removing hearing instruments
Insertion (custom earmoulds)
Hold the earmould between your thumb and index finger and position its sound outlet in 1.
your ear canal.
Slide the earmould all the way into your ear with a gentle, twisting movement.2.
Turn the top part of the earmould gently backwards and forwards so that it tucks behind the 3.
fold of skin above your ear canal.
Move the earmould up and down and gently press to ensure it is positioned correctly in the 4.
ear. Opening and closing your mouth can ease insertion.
Make sure the hearing instrument is seated behind the ear.5.

Programme button
Depending on your experience level with hearing instruments,
individual hearing needs, and the type of listening environments
you experience, your hearing care professional may activate
additional programmes. If additional programmes have been
activated, the following list explains how they work.
You can switch between programmes by pushing the push 1.
button once.
You will then hear one or more beeps. The number of beeps indicates which programme you 2.
have selected (one beep = programme one, two beeps = programme two, etc.).
When the hearing instruments are turned off and then back on, the hearing instrument 3.
always returns to the default setting (programme one).
Operation of the hearing instrument
Volume control (optional)
The volume control will allow the volume of hearing instruments
to be increased or decreased.
To increase the volume, push the volume control up.1.
To decrease the volume, push the volume control down.2.

Listen to radio or TV
When listening to the TV or the radio, start out by listening to news commentators since they
usually speak clearly, then try other programmes.
If you find it difficult to listen to TV or radio, your hearing care professional will be able to give you
advice on available accessories to enhance your listening capabilities for TV and radio.
Cellular phones
Your hearing instrument is designed to comply with the most stringent Standards of Interna-
tional Electromagnetic Compatibility. However, not all cell phones are hearing instrument com-
patible. The varying degree of disturbance can be due to the nature of your particular cellular
phone or of your wireless telephone service provider.
If you find it difficult to obtain a good result while using your cellular phone, your hearing care
professional will be able to give you advice on available accessories to enhance listening
capabilities.
Telephone use
Finding the optimal position for holding a telephone may require practice
for some individuals, and one or more of the following suggestions may
be helpful.
Hold the telephone as you would normally.1.
Hold the telephone towards the top of the ear (closer to where the 2.
microphones are).
If whistling occurs, it may take a few seconds of holding the telephone in the same position 3.
before the hearing instrument eliminates the feedback.
Any whistling may also be decreased by holding the telephone slightly away from the ear.4.
Depending on your individual needs, your hearing care professional may activate a 5.
programme specifically for telephone use.
26
27
Only use a recommended cleaning agent to clean the telephone prior to placing the magnet 4.
on the phone.
PhoneNow usage
Telephones can be used in a normal manner. A short melody will indicate that the PhoneNow
feature has automatically switched the hearing instrument to your telephone programme.
Initially, you may need to move the telephone receiver slightly to find the best position for reliable
PhoneNow activation and good hearing on the telephone.
PhoneNow precautions
Keep magnets out of reach of pets, children and people with mental disabilities. If a magnet 1.
is swallowed, please seek advice from a medical practitioner.
PhoneNow
The PhoneNow function, allows your hearing instrument to automatically switch to your tele-
phone programme when a telephone receiver is raised to the ear. When the telephone receiver
is removed from the ear, the hearing instrument automatically returns to the previous listening
programme.
Placement of PhoneNow magnets
In order to place PhoneNow magnets properly:
Clean the telephone receiver thoroughly.1.
Hold the telephone vertically, in a position similar to when 2.
making a telephone call.
Place the magnets just below the telephone receiver. If necessary, move the magnet to 3.
another position to improve ease of use and comfort while speaking.
28
29
Telecoil (optional)
If equipped, a telecoil can be activated by your hearing care professional and accessed through
one of the additional programmes. A telecoil picks up a telephone’s magnetic signal and con-
verts it to sound. An optional telephone programme may help to improve speech understanding
on the telephone. When using a telecoil programme, the receiver of the telephone may need to
be held closer to the hearing instrument. The handset of the telephone may need to be moved
to slightly different positions in order to find the best reception.
Tele-loop systems
Many places, such as theatres, houses of worship, and schools are equipped with tele-loop
systems. When using a telecoil programme with tele-loop systems, sound is picked up directly
and may improve speech understanding. If there is no sound from the hearing instruments in
a tele-loop system and with a telecoil programme activated, the tele-loop system may not be
turned on or is not operating correctly. If a facility is not equipped with a tele-loop system, sitting
as close as possible to the front may be helpful.
The magnet used to strengthen the magnetic field of a telephone receiver may affect 2.
functionality of some medical devices or electronic systems. Always keep the magnet or
a telephone equipped with the magnet at least 30 cm (12”) away from pacemakers, credit
cards and other magnetically sensitive devices.
High distortion during dialing or phoning may mean that the magnet is not in the optimal 3.
position relative to the telephone receiver. To avoid the issue, please move the magnet to
another place on the telephone receiver.
Only use magnets supplied by GN ReSound.4.

Once in place, move the boot in the direction 2.
of the battery compartment.
Gently click the audio boot onto the hearing instrument.3.
Disconnecting audio boots
Press and hold the button on the front side 4.
of the audio boot.
Gently remove the audio boot from the hearing 5.
instrument.
Direct audio input (optional)
Use of direct audio input (DAI), which enables a direct connection of the hearing instruments to
items such as television, radio, and remote microphones, may increase speech understanding
for some individuals. The sound source is connected to the hearing instruments by a cable or
a wireless FM system to the audio boot. This accessory connects to the bottom of the hear-
ing instruments, and once properly clicked into place, the hearing instruments switch to DAI
automatically.
Connecting/Disconnecting audio boots
Connecting audio boots
Align the tip of the audio boot with the groove just above the battery 1.

Daily maintenance
It is important to keep your hearing instrument clean and dry. On a daily
basis, clean the hearing instruments using a soft cloth or tissue. In order
to avoid damage due to humidity or excessive perspiration, the use of
a drying kit is recommended.
Cleaning earmoulds
Remove the earmould and attached tubing from the hearing 1.
instruments prior to cleaning.
Clean the earmould using a mild soap, and rinse with lukewarm water.2.
After cleaning, dry earmoulds thoroughly and remove any residual 3.
water and debris from the tubing utilising an air bulb and wire loop.
Care and maintenance
Proper handling
Your hearing instrument is protected by a layer of protective, hydrophobic nanocoat material.
However, please follow these instructions to further prolong the durability of your hearing instru-
ments.
Never immerse hearing instruments in water or other liquids, as liquids may cause permanent 1.
damage to the hearing instruments.
Avoid rough handling of hearing instruments or dropping them on hard surfaces or floors.2.
Do not leave hearing instruments in or near direct heat or sunlight, as excessive heat can 3.
cause damage or deform the casing.
Hair spray, make-up, etc. may damage hearing instruments. Remove the instruments prior 4.
to the application of cosmetics.

Note: Thin tube and dome systems should be changed every three months or sooner, should
the components become stiff or brittle.
How to apply domes
It is recommended that your hearing care professional change domes, as incorrect dome
replacement could result in the dome falling out in the ear.
ReSound Standard domes
Push the new dome over the 1.
flanges on the thin tube.
Make sure that the new dome is 2.
properly and securely mounted.
Note: Earmould tubing may become stiff, brittle, or discoloured over time. Contact your
hearing care professional regarding tube changes.
Cleaning thin tubes and domes
Remove thin tubes from hearing instruments before cleaning by 1.
unscrewing them counter clockwise.
Wipe down thin tubes and domes with a damp cloth.2.
In order to clear the thin tube of moisture and debris, push the black 3.
cleaning rod through the thin tube, beginning at the end opposite the
dome.
36
37
ReSound Tulip domes
Tulip domes are mounted in a similar manner to standard domes, but a few extra steps are
required. Tulip domes consist of two “petals”. It is important to note that the largest petal is the
outermost petal. To ensure this:
Push the largest petal away from the thin tube using a finger. This bends the petal forward.1.
Then push the largest petal back, and it will be placed on top of the smaller petal.2.
General precautions
Do not leave hearing instruments in the sun, near an open fire, or in a hot, parked car.1.
Do not wear hearing instruments while showering, swimming, in heavy rain, or in a moist 2.
atmosphere such as a steam bath or sauna.
Should the hearing instrument become moist, remove the battery and place the hearing 3.
instrument in a closed container with a drying agent. Your hearing care professional can
provide options for drying containers or kits.
Remove the hearing instruments when applying items such as cosmetics, perfume, after-4.
shave, hair spray, and suntan lotion.
When wireless function is activated, the device uses low-powered digitally coded 5.
transmissions in order to communicate with other wireless devices. Although unlikely,
nearby electronic devices may be affected. In that case, move the hearing instrument away
from the affected electronic device.
38
39
When using wireless functionality and the devices are affected by electromagnetic interference, 6. move away from the source.
General warnings
Consult a hearing care professional if you think there may be a foreign object in your ear canal, 1. if you experience skin irritation, or if excessive ear wax accumulates with the use of the hearing
instrument.
Different types of radiation, from e.g. NMR, MRI, or CT scanners, may damage hearing 2. instruments. It is recommended not to wear hearing instruments during these or other similar
procedures. Other types of radiation, such as burglar alarms, room surveillance systems, radio
equipment, mobile telephones, contain less energy and will not damage hearing instruments.
However, they have the potential to momentarily affect the sound quality or temporarily create
strange sounds from hearing instruments.
Do not wear hearing instruments in mines, oil fields, or other explosive areas unless those areas 3. are certified for hearing instrument use.
Do not allow others to use your hearing instruments. This may cause damage to the hearing 4. instruments or to the hearing of the other individual.
Due to choking hazards, hearing instrument usage by children or individuals who are mentally 5. challenged should be supervised at all times.
Hearing instruments should be used only as prescribed by your hearing care professional. 6. Incorrect use may result in hearing loss.
Warning to hearing care professionals: Special care should be exercised in selecting and 7. fitting hearing instruments with maximum sound pressure level that exceeds 132dB SPL with
an IEC 60711:1981 occluded ear simulator. There may be a risk of impairment of the remaining
hearing.
Be careful when boarding flights to deactivate the wireless functionality.8.
