18 19SmartStartHearing 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 in your ears, your hearing care professional can activate a function called SmartStart. This function will delay the time in which the hearing instruments turn on by several seconds after the battery compartment is closed. With SmartStart, a beep will be heard for each second of the delay period.Getting startedOn/Off function1. When the battery door is closed, the hearing instrument will turn on, and the default program will be activated. 2. To turn the hearing instrument off, open the battery door. Many individuals can use their fingernail to pull it open.Tip: Whenever the hearing instruments are not in use, remember to open the battery doors to avoid unnecessary battery consumption.OnOff
20 21Low battery indicatorYour hearing care professional can activate a low battery indicator in your hearing instruments. The hearing instrument will reduce amplification and emit a beep signal if battery power gets too low. This signal will recur every five minutes until the hearing instrument automatically switches off. 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 these 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 two sets of descending tones. After this, your hearing instrument and ReSound Unite Remote Inserting/Replacing the batteryOpen the battery door completely by using your fingernail. 1. Remove the used battery if present. Insert the new battery with the positive side in the correct position. The battery door has a ‘+’ indicator to help determine the correct insertion.2. Always use new Zinc-Air batteries that have a minimum remaining shelf life of 1 year3. Gently close the battery door.Tip: Remove the batteries to prevent battery leakage or corrosion when the hearing instruments are not in use for an extended period of time.
22 233. Insert the hearing instrument into your ear canal. Opening and closing your mouth may ease insertion.4. Gently push the microphone into the creased area of the ear that is located above the microphone entrance, and make sure the tubing is in place.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.Inserting/Removing hearing instrumentsInsertion (remote microphone) 1. Hold the hearing instrument between your thumb and index finger, either above and below or on the sides.2. Place the sound outlet portion into your ear canal. Turn the top part of the earmould gently backwards and forwards so that it tucks behind the fold of skin above your ear canal.Insertion (CIC, mini-canal, ITC, and ITE)1. Hold the hearing instrument between your thumb and index finger, either above and below or on the sides.2. Place the sound outlet portion into your ear canal. Turn the top part of the hearing instrument gently backwards and forwards so that it tucks behind the fold of skin above your ear canal.3. Insert the hearing instrument into your ear canal. Opening and closing your mouth may ease insertion.
24 25By experimenting, an easier method may be discovered. With proper insertion, hearing instru-ments should fit snugly but comfortably. If the hearing instruments cause irritation of the ears, contact your hearing care professional. Never attempt to modify the shape of the hearing instrument yourself.Tip: It may be helpful to pull your ear up and outward with your opposite hand during insertion.Removal options (CIC, remote microphone, and mini-canal)1. Hold the removal cord with your thumb and index finger and pull outward.2. Hold the edges of the hearing instrument with your thumb and forefinger and pull outward while slightly rotating your hand forward.3. If remote microphone hearing instruments do not have a removal cord, gently pull outward with the microphone tubing.
26 27Removal (ITC and ITE)1. Hold the edges of the hearing instrument with your thumb and forefinger.2. Pull outward while slightly rotating your hand forward.Note: Consult your hearing care professional if you have difficulty removing the hearing instruments.Operation of the hearing instrumentVolume control (Optional)The volume control will allow the volume of hearing instruments to be increased or decreased. 1. To increase the volume, rotate the volume control forward (towards your face when you are wearing the hearing instruments).2. To decrease the volume, rotate the volume control backward (away from your face).Please note that when you turn the volume all the way down (un-til the volume control wheel stops rotating), the device will be turned
28 29Programme button (Optional)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 ad-ditional programmes in the hearing instrument. If additional programmes have been activated, the following list explains how they work.1. You can switch between programmes by pushing the push button once.2. You will then hear one or more beeps. The number of beeps indicates which programme you have selected (one beep=programme one, two beeps=programme two, etc.). 3. When the hearing instruments are turned off and then back on, the hearing instrument always returns to the default setting (programme one).off. To reboot the device, turn the volume back up by rotating the volume control forward.If you prefer not to use the volume control, your hearing care professional can deactivate it.When volume is increased or decreased, a beep signal will be heard for each incremental change. When the upper or lower limits of the volume range are reached, a beep signal with a longer duration will be heard.

32 33Telephone useFinding the optimal position for holding a tele phone may require practice for some individuals, and one or more of the following suggestions may be helpful.• Hold the telephone as you would normally.• Hold the telephone towards the top of the ear (closer to where the microphones are).• If whistling occurs, holding the tele phone in the same position may help the hearing instrument to eliminate the feedback.• Any whistling may also be decreased by holding the telephone slightly away from the ear.• Depending on your individual needs, your hearing care professional may activate a programme specifically for telephone use.Telecoil (optional on some ITC, ITE , and remote microphone models)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. Listen to radio or TVWhen listening to the TV or the radio, start out by listening to news commentators since theyusually 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.
34 35Cellular phonesYour hearing instrument is designed to comply with the most stringent Standards of International Electromagnetic Compatibility. However, not all cell phones are hearing instrument compatible. The varying degree of disturbance can be due to the nature of your particular cellular phone or of your wireless telephony 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.PhoneNowThe 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 magnetsIn order to place PhoneNow magnets properly:1. Clean the telephone receiver thoroughly.2. Hold the telephone vertically, in a position similar to when making a telephone call.3. Place the magnets just below the telephone receiver. If necessary, move the magnet to another position to improve ease of use and comfort while speaking. 4. Only use a recommended cleaning agent to clean the telephone prior to placing the magnet on the phone.
36 37PhoneNow usageTelephones can be used in a normal manner. A short melody will indicate that the Phone-Now 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 precautions1. Keep magnets out of reach of pets, children and individuals who are mentally challenged. If a magnet is swallowed, please seek advice from a medical practitioner.2. The magnet used to strengthen the magnetic field of a telephone receiver may affect 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.3. High distortion during dialing or phoning may mean that the magnet is not in the optimal position relative to the telephone receiver. To avoid the issue, please move the magnet to another place on the telephone receiver.4. Only use magnets supplied by GN ReSound.Tele-loop systemsMany 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.
38 39Daily maintenanceIt is important to keep your hearing instrument clean and dry. On a daily basis, clean the hearing instruments using a soft cloth or tissue. Remove any wax or debris from hearing instruments using a brush and/or a wire loop. In order to avoid damage due to humidity or excessive perspi-ration, the use of a drying kit is recommended. Care and maintenanceProper handlingThe face plate of your hearing instrument is protected by a layer of protective, hydrophobic nanocoat material. However, please follow the following instructions to further prolong the du-rability of your hearing instruments. 1. Never immerse hearing instruments in water or other liquids, as liquids may cause permanent damage to the hearing instruments.2. Avoid rough handling of hearing instruments or dropping them on hard surfaces or floors.3. Do not leave hearing instruments in or near direct heat or sunlight, as excessive heat can cause damage or deform the casing.4. Hair spray, make-up, etc. may damage hearing instruments, and they should be removed prior to the application of cosmetics.
40 41Replacing wax filtersCustom hearing instruments may have wax filters that protect against wax and moisture. It is recommended that these are changed as needed.To change these filters, the following steps are needed:1. Brush the sound outlet area with the sound outlet pointed down.2. Insert the threaded end of the wax filter tool into the used wax filter, and gently rotate clockwise.3. Gently pull until the used filter is removed.4. Discard the used filter in the slot located in the wax filter kit by pressing it into the center, sliding it to one end of the slot, and pull until the filter is discarded.5. Flip the wax filter tool around, locate a new filter in the dial, and press the tip of the tool into the center of the dial.6. Gently pull the new filter out of the dial.7. Align the new filter to the sound outlet.8. Press the new filter into the opening, and simultaneously pull and rock back and forth until the new wax filter is in place. Tip: Pressing on the new filter with the flat side of the wax filter tool can ensure that the filter is correctly in place.
