Your Programme Environments

Programme Description of when to use

Stand-by Function

To put the instrument into stand-by mode, hold down the

programme selector for 5 seconds. You will hear a series of

beeps, and the device is now in stand-by mode.

Before returning to functional mode, you will need to wait

approximately 5 seconds. After waiting, press the pro-

gramme selector once. Please note that the instrument is

using a small amount of power when in stand-by mode.

On/Off Function

Your ReSound hearing instrument is

equipped with an on/off switch

integrated into the battery com-

partment. When the battery

compartment is fully closed,

the instrument is turned on

in its functional mode and pro-

gramme 1 will be activated. To turn

the instrument off, open the battery

compartment with your ﬁngernail. Whenever you are

not wearing the instrument, remember to turn it off to reduce

battery consumption.

Programme Selector

Your hearing care professional has most likely programmed

multiple programmes into your instrument. You can select

programmes simply by depressing the programme selector

once. You will then hear one or more “beeps”, indicating

which programme you have selected. Your hearing instru-

ment will switch programmes as follows:

Example with 4 programmes: 1 →2, 2 →3, 3 →4, 4 →1

Example with 3 programmes: 1 →2, 2 →3, 3 →1

Example with 2 programmes: 1 →2, 2 →1

You can always return to programme 1 by turning your in-

strument off and then on again or by placing it in stand-by

mode and then returning to its normal function mode.

→

SmartStart

SmartStart allows you the possibility for inserting the instru-

ment in the ear without annoying sounds like squealing. It

delays the switch on time 10 seconds after closing the bat-

tery compartment, and is indicated by a beep every second

after closing the battery compartment.

Low Battery Warning

When the battery voltage/power decreases to a low level,

the instrument will inform you by a soft low-battery-warning

signal (beep-beep). The signal indicates you should replace

the battery, why it is recommended that you always keep a

spare battery. The battery-warning signal will be repeated

every 5-10 minutes until the battery runs out of power. The

instrument will then automatically switch off.

Volume Control (optional)

Your instrument might be equiped with a volume control.

With the volume control you can turn the volume up and

down. When wearing the instrument, you can increase the

volume by turning the volume control wheel towards the

front, and reduce volume by turning it towards the back.

For each volume step, you will hear a “beep”

signal indicating the change. If you reach

the upper or lower limit of the volume

control range, there will be a different

type of “beep” signal with a lower

pitch. Please note that your instru-

ment has been ﬁtted by your hear-

ing care professional and that your

hearing loss has required a certain

amount of ampliﬁcation.

This means that you may not be

able to increase the volume as

much as you can decrease it.

Insertion of the Hearing Instrument

To insert the hearing instrument into your ear:

1. Grip the instrument with your thumb and foreﬁnger, either

above and below or on the sides (as shown) with the pro-

gramme selector on top.

2. Place the sound outlet portion into your ear canal.

3. Insert the hearing instrument carefully with a slight “cork-

screw” motion.

By experimenting, you may ﬁnd a method that is easier

for you. When properly inserted, the instrument should ﬁt

comfortably and tightly in your ear. It is important that the

custom shell ﬁts correctly into your ear. If your hearing in-

strument irritates your ear in any way and prevents you from

wearing your hearing instrument, please contact your hear-

ing care professional to have the custom shell modiﬁed. You

should never attempt to modify the shape of the custom

shell yourself.

�

Always use the correct zinc-air battery size for your instru-

ment. Please note that if the battery is weak, the hearing

instrument performance will be reduced. Removing the

battery when you are not wearing the instrument will help

prevent corrosion of the battery contacts and reduce

battery consumption.

Battery Warning Information

Batteries contain dangerous substances and should be

disposed of carefully in the interest of your safety and for

the environment.

• Do NOT attempt to recharge batteries which are not

speciﬁcally designated rechargeable as they may leak or

explode.

• Do NOT attempt to dispose of batteries by burning

them.

• Keep batteries away from small children and pets.

• Do NOT place batteries in your mouth.

If swallowed, see a physician immediately.

Removal of the CIC Hearing Instrument

To remove the hearing instrument, simply grasp the removal

cord with your thumb and foreﬁnger and pull outward.

Consult your hearing care professional if you have difﬁculty

removing the hearing instrument.

Removal of the ITC & ITE Hearing Instrument

To remove the hearing instrument:

1. Gently massage behind your earlobe with an upward and

downward motion to dislodge the instrument.

2. Place your thumb on the bottom and foreﬁnger on the top

of the instrument, and carefully remove the instrument

out of your ear canal with a slight “corkscrew” motion.

By experimenting, you may ﬁnd a method that is easier

for you. Consult your hearing care professional if you have

difﬁculty removing the hearing instrument.

Changing the Battery

Open the battery compartment completely using your

ﬁngernail, as described earlier. After removing the old

battery, insert the new one with the “+” (ﬂat) side facing

the “+” on the battery door. It should ﬁt in like a puzzle

piece. The battery door should close very easily. Never use

force to close the door as this may damage your hearing

instrument.

“+”

Daily Maintenance

Keep your hearing instrument clean and dry. Wipe the

case with a soft cloth or tissue after use to remove grease

or moisture. If the instrument has been exposed to high

humidity or perspiration, enclose it in a sealed container

together with a drying agent (dessicator) overnight.

Consult your hearing care professional concerning which

drying agent to use.

To avoid the need for unwarranted repairs:

• Never immerse the instrument in water or other liquids

since this may cause permanent damage to the circuitry.

• Protect your hearing instrument from rough handling,

and avoid dropping it on hard surfaces or ﬂoors.

• Do not leave the instrument in or near direct heat or sun-

light since excessive heat can damage the instrument or

deform the casing.

Cleaning the Microphone Sound Inlet

For proper function of the microphone, it is important to clean

the sound inlet to remove dust or other sound disturbing de-

bris. The soft brush, provided with your hearing instrument,

can be used for this purpose. Your hearing care professional

can instruct you on how to properly use this tool.

Changing the Sound Outlet Filter/

Cleaning the Sound Outlet

Your ReSound hearing instrument may be equipped with a

sound outlet ﬁlter (consult your hearing care professional).

This ﬁlter is located at the end of the sound outlet and prevents

debris from getting into the hearing instrument. If the hearing

instrument seems to have lost power and changing the bat-

tery does not help, the ﬁlter may be blocked, and needs to be

changed. Your hearing care professional can instruct you on

how to change the ﬁlter.

If your hearing instrument does not have a ﬁlter, ear wax and/

or other debris may collect in the sound channel. The clean-

ing loop, provided with your hearing instrument, can easily be

used to remove this material. Your hearing care professional

can instruct you on how to properly use this tool. When using

this tool, be careful not to damage or pull the tubing found at

the opening of the sound outlet. If this is pulled out, the hear-

ing instrument may need to be returned for repair.

Telephone Use

Your hearing instrument may be equipped with an induc-

tion coil (telecoil) which picks up magnetic emanations from

a hearing instrument compatible telephone. Your hearing

care professional can programme one of your listening pro-

grammes to take advantage of the telecoil. By selecting the

telecoil programme, the hearing instrument will only pick up

the sounds coming from the telephone.

When using the telecoil programme, the receiver of the tele-

phone should be held as shown in the drawing. You may

need to move the handset around slightly to ﬁnd the best

reception.

If you do not wish to have a telecoil programme, you may

still use the phone while wearing your hearing instrument.

Many hearing instruments will whistle (feedback) when in

close proximity to a telephone. To reduce the potential for

this problem, your hearing instrument is equipped with an

adaptive digital feedback suppression (DFS) system which

allows for use of the telephone while greatly reducing the

chance of feedback. Hold the phone close to the hearing

instrument, but not directly on it. If there is feedback, it may

take a few seconds for the instrument to adapt.

Using the telephone, while wearing your hearing instrument,

may require some practice.

Using Assistive Listening (Tele-loop) Systems

(optional on ITC & ITE)

Many gathering places are equipped with assistive listening

(Tele-loop) systems, e.g. in schools, theaters and houses of

worship. To take advantage of a Tele-loop system, select

the telecoil programme. When the telecoil programme has

been selected, you will be able to hear a clean sound signal

via the Tele-loop system. If the instrument goes dead in the

telecoil programme, this may be because the loop system is

not operating. If a school, theater or house of worship does

not have a Tele-loop system, try and sit as close as possible

to the front.

Repairs

If your GN ReSound hearing instrument malfunctions, it

must be repaired by a qualiﬁed technician. Do not attempt

to open the case of the hearing instrument since this would

invalidate the warranty. If your GN ReSound hearing instru-

ment requires service, please contact your hearing care

professional for assistance.

wax accumulates with the use of the hearing instrument.

• Different types of radiation, e.g. from NMR or CT scan-

ners, may damage the hearing instrument. Therefore,

do not wear the hearing instrument during these or other

corresponding scanning procedures. Other types of

radiation (burglary alarms, room surveillance systems,

radio equipment, mobile telephones, etc.) contain less

energy and will not damage the hearing instrument. They

could however momentarily affect the sound quality or

create strange sounds from the hearing instruments.

• Warning: Do not wear the hearing instrument in mines or

other explosive areas, unless those areas are certiﬁed for

hearing instrument use.
