SmartStart

Your hearing care professional may have activated the

SmartStart function in your hearing instrument. The Smart-

Start delays the switch-on time 10 seconds after closing

the battery compartment. This is indicated by beeps at one

second intervals after closing the battery compartment.

It allows you to place the instrument behind the ear and

insert the thin tube with xReceiver in the ear without

annoying sounds like squealing.

Putting ReSound Pulse on the ear

1. Hang the instrument over the

top of the ear.

User Operated Controls

Volume Control

The volume control in your ReSound Pulse instrument is

fully automatic, so there is no need to bother with adjust-

ments. Your instrument has been programmed to vary its

ampliﬁcation according to your needs.

On/Off Function

Your ReSound Pulse is equipped with an on/off switch inte-

grated into the battery

compartment.

When the battery

compartment is fully

closed, the instrument

is turned on.

To turn the instrument off,

grasp the battery

compartment door

with your ﬁngernail and gently

pull. The power will switch off at

the point where you can feel a small click. Whenever you

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

reduce battery consumption. If you run your ReSound Pulse

with rechargeable batteries the charger opens the battery

compartment door automatically when inserting.

Changing the Battery

When the battery voltage/power decreases to a certain

level, the instrument will emit four soft beeping signals.

This sequence will continue every ﬁve minutes until the in-

strument automatically switches off. The occurrence of the

sequence can differ by using rechargeable batteries and

also between different battery brands.

It is recommended that you

keep a spare battery on hand.

Open the battery

compartment

completely by using

your ﬁngernail. After

removing the old battery,

insert the new one.

Always use Zinc-Air or rechargeable batteries size 312.

Removing the battery when you are not wearing the instru-

ment for a longer periode will help prevent corrosion of the

battery contacts.

2. Grasp the thin tube where it bends and push

the xReceiver with dome into your

ear canal. The dome should be

placed far enough into the

ear that the thin tube lies

ﬂush with your head. When the

dome is placed appropriately,

you should not see the thin tube sticking out when you

look directly into a mirror.

3. Position the Sports Lock into the

indentation above the earlobe.

If the device whistles, the most likely

reason is that the dome is not placed

correctly in the ear canal or build-up of

earwax in the ear canal. It is also possible

that the instrument settings are not optimal.

If you have ruled out other reasons for the

instrument squealing, it is recommended to contact your

hearing care professional.

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. You should avoid exposing your instrument directly

to moisture such as rain or water from the shower. If your

instrument does get wet or if it has been exposed to high

humidity or perspiration, it should be left to dry out over-

night with the battery out and the battery compartment

open.

To avoid the need for unwarranted repairs:

• Never immerse the instrument in water or other liquids

since this may cause permanent damage to the cir-

cuitry.

• 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

sunlight since excessive heat can damage the instrument

or deform the casing or the sound tube.

Battery Warning Information

The battery should be inserted in the battery compartment

with the ﬂat side facing up. For Zinc-Air batteries, this is the

side with the sticker on. The battery should ﬁt in like a puzzle

piece. Be sure to remove the sticker when using Zinc-Air bat-

teries before closing the battery compartment door. The bat-

tery compartment door should close very easily. Never use

force to close the door as this may damage your hearing in-

strument. Batteries contain dangerous substances and should

be disposed of carefully in the interest of your safety and for

the environment.

• Please only use the specially for ReSound Pulse designed

charger to charge ReSound Pulse, it automatically checks

the battery in the hearing instrument. If the battery is

not rechargeable (Zinc-Air), a blinking light will alert you

and charging will stop immediately.

• Do NOT attempt to recharge batteries (Zinc-Air) which

are not speciﬁcally designated rechargeable in any other

charger 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.

The Thin Tube with xReceiver and Dome

The thin tube feeds signals from the hearing instrument

into the xReceiver unit placed in the ear. It is important that

the thin tube and the dome ﬁt correctly into your ear. If the

thin tube or dome irritate your ear in any way and prevent

you from wearing your hearing instrument, please contact

your hearing care professional. The thin tube and the dome

should be cleaned regularly.

Use a damp cloth to clean the thin tube with xReceiver

and dome on the outside. The dome should be changed

every third month or sooner if it becomes stiff or brittle.

We recommend that you have your hearing care profes-

sional change the sports lock and dome for you. If your

hearing care professional instructs you to change the sports

lock and domes yourself, make sure that they are securely

fastened to the receiver cord before inserting them in your

ear. A failure to change the domes in accordance with the

instructions could result in injury.

How to mount the Open Dome

The Sports Lock and the Open Dome are mounted on the

thin tube with xReceiver by pushing it over the grooves.

How to mount the Tulip-Dome

The Sports Lock and Tulip-Dome are mounted on the thin

tube with xReceiver by pushing it over the grooves.

Sound Inlet Filter

Your ReSound Pulse hearing instrument is equipped with

two sound inlet ﬁlters. These ﬁlters are located at the front

and the top of the instrument and prevent moisture and

debris from getting into the hearing instrument. If the

hearing instrument seems to have lost power and changing

the battery does not help, the ﬁlters may be blocked, and

need to be changed.

Please consult your hearing care professional for changing

the ﬁlters.

Wax system

The Thin Tube with xReceiver is protected by a Cerustop

wax guard. Only this system shall be used. Contact your

hearing care professional for more info.

The Tulip-Dome consists of two “leaves” and it is important

that the largest “leaf” is the outermost “leaf” (1).

This can easily be done by pushing the “leaves” away

from the thin tube with xReceiver with your foreﬁnger and

middle ﬁnger (2). This will make the large “leaf” bend for-

ward. Then you push it back and it will be placed on top

of the smaller “leaf” (3). Now the Tulip-Dome is ready for

insertion (4).

General Precautions

• Consult a physician if you ﬁnd a foreign object in your

ear canal, if you experience skin irritation or if excessive

ear wax accumulates with the use of the hearing instru-

ment.

• 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) will not da-

mage 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.

• Keep the instrument away from children under the age

of 3 as it contains small parts which may present a cho-

king hazard.

Technical Data

Maximum output (2cc coupler / IEC 60118-7) 108 dB SPL

Telephone Use

Your hearing instrument allows you to

use the telephone as you ordinarily do.

Hold the phone up to your ear as you

normally would.

If you experience discomfort from

the dome pressing in your ear canal,

you may need a different size thin tube

with xReceiver. In this case contact your hearing care

professional.

Repairs

If your ReSound Pulse 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 war-

ranty. If your ReSound Pulse requires service, please contact

your hearing care professional for assistance.
