Getting started

On/Off function

1. When the battery door is closed, the hearing instrument turns on, and

the default program will be activated.

2. To turn off the hearing instrument, open the battery door. Many

individuals can use their ﬁngernail to pull it open.

iTip: The DAI boot or integrated FM must be removed before battery

door will open.

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 Smart-

Start. 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.

Inserting/Replacing the battery

1. Open the battery door completely by using your ﬁngernail. Remove the used battery if present.

2. Prepare the new battery (please refer to page 5 for information on appropriate battery type/size for your

hearing instrument). Remove the protective foil and wait 2 minutes before inserting the battery into the

hearing instrument to allow activation of the battery.

3. Insert the new battery with the positive side in the

correct position.

4. Gently close the battery door.

Off

iTip:

1. Always use new Zinc-Air batteries that have a minimum remaining shelf life of 1 year.

2. Whenever the hearing instruments are not in use, remember to turn them off to avoid unnecessary

battery consumption.

3. Remove the sticker from the battery and let it air for 2 minute before you insert it.

4. If hearing instrument is experiencing frequent loss of connection to ReSound Unite accessories, contact

your hearing care professional for a list of low impedance batteries.

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, TV streamer and Mini Mi-

crophone) or an FM receiver 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 Re-

Sound Unite TV Streamer, Phone Clip and Mini Microphone cannot be supported, the hearing instrument

will play 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 TV Streamer, Phone

Clip, and Mini Microphone. At some point the battery level will also be too low to support the remote control

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 instruments

Insertion (custom earmoulds)

1. Hold the earmould between your thumb and index ﬁnger and position its sound

outlet in your ear canal.

2. Slide the earmould all the way into your ear with a gentle, twisting movement.

3. Turn the top part of the earmould gently backwards and forwards so that it tucks

behind the fold of skin above your ear canal.

4. Move the earmould up and down and gently press to ensure it is positioned

correctly in the ear. Opening and closing your mouth can ease insertion.

5. Make sure the hearing instrument is seated behind the ear.

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.

iNote: Never attempt to modify the shape of the hearing instrument, earmoulds,

or tubing yourself.

iTip: It may be helpful to pull your ear up and outward with your opposite hand during insertion.

Removal (custom earmolds)

1. Hold a portion of your earmould towards the back of the ear.

2. Pull the earmould outward and simultaneously rotate the earmould forward.

3. Consult your hearing care professional if you have difﬁculties removing the hearing instrument.

Insertion (domes/custom earmoulds with thin tubes)

1. Hold the thin tube where it bends, and gently

place the dome into the ear canal. Push the dome

far enough into the ear canal so that the thin tube

lies ﬂush with the head.

2. It is important that the tube and the dome ﬁt

correctly into your ear.

3. When the dome is place correctly, you should

not be able to see the thin tube sticking out when

facing a mirror.

iNote: You should never attempt to bend or modify the shape of the thin tube.

Removal (domes/custom earmoulds with thin tubes)

1. Hold the thin tube with your thumb and foreﬁnger and remove the tube.

2. For thin tube custom earmoulds, grasp the removal string and pull the earmould

outward.

3. Consult your hearing care professional if you have difﬁculties removing the

hearing instrument.

14 15

Sports lock

The Sports lock will be applied or adjusted by your hearing care professional.

Operation of the hearing instrument

Volume control (optional)

The volume control will allow the volume of hearing instruments

to be increased or decreased.

1. To increase the volume, push the volume control up.

2. To decrease the volume, push the volume control down.

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.

If you have two hearing instruments with the synchronization function

enabled, volume control adjustments to one instrument will automatically repeat in the second instrument.

When a volume control adjustment is made in one instrument, you will hear a conﬁrmation beep. A beep in

the second instrument will follow.

Your hearing care professional can disable the volume control function if it is not desired. The volume con-

trol can also be replaced with a non-functional cover.

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.

Programme Description of when to use

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).

16 17

If status indications are enabled, the LED indicator will blink every 5 seconds to show in which programme

the hearing instrument is operating. The blink pattern associated with each programme is illustrated in the

table on the next page. Low Battery is indicated by a rapid series of blinks followed by a short pause then

the series is repeated again until the battery is full discharged. Your hearing care professional can demon-

strate the various blinks during the hearing instrument ﬁtting.

iFlight mode*

When boarding a ﬂight or entering an area where RF transmitters are prohibited, wireless functional-

ity must be deactivated, as it is not allowed to radiate radio signals during ﬂights or in otherwise restricted

areas.

If you have two hearing instruments with the synchronization function enabled, program changes to one

instrument will automatically repeat in the second instrument. When a program change is made in one

instrument, you will hear the same amount of conﬁrmation beeps in the second instrument.

LED Indicator (optional)

Some paediatric hearing instruments are equipped with a visual indi-

cator which blinks to show the instrument status. Your hearing care

professional can activate the LED indicator either to show only control

changes (such as increasing or decreasing volume or changing pro-

gramme) or both control changes and periodic status updates. The

LED indicator can also be disabled.

When enabled, the LED indicator will light continuously for several seconds when the instrument is turned

on. If Wireless Flight Mode is activated, this indication changes to a double-blink series (see Flight Mode,

page 17).

When enabled, the LED indicator will blink whenever the programme button is pressed. The number of

blinks indicates which programme you have selected (one blink = programme one, two blinks = programme

two, etc.). When activating audio streaming from a ReSound Unite accessory (Phone Clip, TV streamer or

Mini Microphone or when an FM / DAI audio program is selected, the connection will be indicated by a

long blink followed by a short. Volume change (up or down) is indicated by a short blink. A volume limit is

indicated with a long blink.

*Wireless models only

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.

1. Hold the telephone as you would normally.

2. Hold the telephone towards the top of the ear (closer to where the microphones

are).

3. If whistling occurs, it may take a few seconds of holding the telephone in the

same position before the hearing instrument eliminates the feedback.

4. Any whistling may also be decreased by holding the telephone slightly away

from the ear.

5. Depending on your individual needs, your hearing care professional may activate a programme

speciﬁcally for telephone use.

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 profes-

sional 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 International Electro-

magnetic 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 telephone

service provider.

For Alera wireless hearing instruments follow the following steps to enter and leave ﬂight mode:

It is possible to disable wireless operation by opening and closing the battery compartment of the hearing

instrument while at the same time pressing the push button.

When disabled manually, wireless operation may be re-enabled by opening and closing the battery com-

partment normally, (i.e. without at the same time pressing the push button).

For Verso and Up wireless hearing instruments follow the following instructions to enter and

leave ﬂight mode:

It is possible to disable wireless operation by opening and closing the battery compartment three times

within a ten second period (open-close, open-close, open-close). Your instruments will now be in ﬂight

mode.

If the hearing instrument is in ﬂight mode, the hearing instrument must have been operating in ﬂight mode

for at least 10 seconds before attempting to enable wireless again. it is possible to re-enable wireless opera-

tion by opening and closing the battery door once. 10 seconds after this operation is completed, wireless

operation will begin again.

iNote: It is important to wait an additional 15 seconds after wireless function resumes before open-

ing and closing the battery compartment again for any reason. If the battery compartment is opened and

closed during this 15 second window, ﬂight mode will resume.
