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 in-

sert the sound tube in the ear without annoying sounds

like squealing.

Putting ReSound Pulse LT 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 LT 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 LT 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

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 LT 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 of the size printed on your instrument (see page

7 “Your ReSound Pulse LT Hearing Instrument”, point 8).

Removing the battery when you are not wearing the instru-

ment for a longer period will help prevent corrosion of the

battery contacts.

2. Grasp the sound tube where it bends

and push the dome into your ear

canal. The dome should be placed

far enough into the ear that

the sound tube lies ﬂush with

your head. When the dome is

placed appropriately, you should

not see the sound 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. Other reasons can be

build-up of earwax in the ear canal,

or that the sound tube connection to

the instrument has become loose, in which

case the sound tube must be changed.

It is also possible that the instrument settings are not

optimal. If you have ruled out other reasons for the in-

strument 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 LT

designed charger to charge ReSound Pulse LT, it auto-

matically 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.

Use a damp cloth to clean the sound

tube and dome on the outside

and use the black cleaning

rod to “push” any debris

out of the sound tube.

The cleaning rod should

be inserted where the sound

tube attaches to the instrument and pushed all the way

through the sound tube and out through the dome. It is

not recommended to submerge or rinse the sound tube

and dome with water, as there is a risk that a water drop

may become lodged in the sound tube. If this should occur,

it will prevent sound coming through the sound tube, and

may be harmful for the instrument’s electronics.

The sound tube and dome should be changed every third

month or sooner if the sound tube becomes stiff or brittle.

We recommend that you have your hearing care professio-

nal change the dome for you. If your hearing care professio-

nal instructs you to change the domes yourself, make sure

that they are securely fastened to the sound tube before

inserting them in your ear.

The Sound Tube

The sound tube feeds the ampliﬁed sound from the hearing

instrument into the ear.

It is important that the sound tube and the dome ﬁt cor-

rectly into your ear.

If the sound tube or the

dome irritate your ear

in any way and

prevent you from

wearing your

hearing instrument,

please contact

your hearing care professional.

You should never attempt to modify the shape of the sound

tube yourself. The sound tube and the dome should be

cleaned regularly.

Remove the sound tube from the instrument before clea-

ning by twisting and pulling it off.

The Domes

The Original Open Dome/Tulip-Dome and the sound tube

should be changed every third month or sooner if the

sound tube becomes stiff or brittle. We recommend that

you have your hearing care professional change the Origi-

nal Open Dome/Tulip-Domes for you. If your hearing care

professional instructs you to change the domes yourself,

make sure that they are securely fastened to the sound tube

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 Original Open Dome

The Original Open Dome is mounted on the sound tube by

pushing it over the grooves on the sound tube.

How to mount the Tulip-Dome

(1) + (2) The Tulip-Dome is

mounted on the sound tube

by pushing it over the grooves

on the sound tube.

The Tulip-Dome should be

directed with the sound outlet

hole facing either down towards

your shoulders or up towards your

hair. (3)

The sound outlet hole can turn

both ways; the direction of the sound

outlet hole affects the length of the

sound tube according to the entrance

of your ear canal.

Please ask your hearing care

professional which way the sound

outlet hole should turn in your ear.

Sound Inlet Filter

Your ReSound Pulse LT hearing instrument is equipped with

2 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 care professional for changing

the ﬁlters.

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

that the largest “leaf” is the outermost “leaf” (4).

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

the sound tube with your foreﬁnger and middle ﬁnger (5).

This will make the large “leaf” bend forward. Then you

push it back and it will be placed on top of the smaller

“leaf” (6). Now the Tulip-Dome is ready for insertion (7).
