SmartStart™

Your hearing healthcare professional may have activated

the SmartStart function in your hearing instrument. The

SmartStart 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 compart-

ment. 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.

2. Grasp the Thin Tube

where it bends and push

the receiver 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.

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

integrated into the battery compartment. When the battery

compartment is fully closed, the instrument is turned on.

To turn the instrument off, grasp the battery compart-

ment 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.

3. Position the Sports Lock into the indentation above

the earlobe. If the instrument whistles, the most likely

reason is that the dome is not placed correctly in the

ear canal. Other reasons can be build-up of earwax

in the ear canal, or that the Thin Tube connection to

the instrument has become loose, in which case the

Thin Tube must be changed. 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 that you contact your hearing health-

care professional.

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

instrument automatically switches off.

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 batteries that

are the size printed on your

instrument (see page 5,

“Your ReSound Pulse

Hearing Instrument,”

item 8).

Removing the bat-

tery when you are not

wearing the instrument

for a longer period will help

prevent corrosion of the bat-

tery contacts.

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

overnight with the battery out and the battery compart-

ment 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 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 or the Thin Tube.

The battery should be inserted in the battery compart-

ment with the ﬂat side facing up. This is the side with

the plus (+) sign. The battery should ﬁt in like a puzzle

piece. Be sure to remove the sticker when using zinc-

air batteries before closing the battery compartment

door. The battery compartment door should close very

easily. Never use force to close the door as this may

damage your hearing instrument.

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 or call the National Button

Battery Hotline collect at (202) 625-3333.

The Domes

The Open Dome/Tulip-Dome should be changed every third

month or sooner if the dome becomes stiff or brittle. We

recommend that you have your hearing healthcare profes-

sional change the domes for you. If your hearing healthcare

professional instructs you to change the domes yourself,

make sure that they are securely fastened to the Thin Tube

with xReceiver before inserting them in your ear. A failure

to change the domes in accordance with the instructions

that follow could result in injury.

How to mount the Open Dome

The O pen Dome is mounted on the Thin Tube w ith xRecei ver

by pushing it over the grooves on the Thin Tube.

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 the dome irritate your ear in any way and

prevent you from wearing your hearing instrument, please

contact your hearing healthcare professional.

You should never attempt to modify the shape of the Thin

Tube yourself.

The Thin Tube and the dome should be cleaned regularly.

Use a damp cloth to clean the outside of the Thin Tube with

xReceiver and dome.

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

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

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

the Thin Tube with xReceiver with your foreﬁnger and

middle ﬁnger (ﬁgure 2). This will make the large “leaf”

bend forward. Then you push it back and it will be placed

on top of the smaller “leaf” (ﬁgure 3). Now the Tulip-Dome

is ready for insertion (ﬁgure 4).

How to mount the Tulip-Dome

The Tulip-Dome is mounted on the Thin Tube with xReceiver

by pushing it over the grooves.

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.

In this case contact your hearing healthcare professional.

Sound Inlet Filter

Your ReSound Pulse hearing instrument is equipped with

two 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 instru-

ment 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 healthcare professional for

changing the ﬁlters.

Wax System

The Thin Tube with xReceiver is protected by a Cerustop

wax guard. Only this system should be used. Contact

your hearing healthcare professional for more information

regarding wax protection.
