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:
Examples:
3programmes: 1→2, 2 →3, 3 →1
With optional telecoil: 1 →2, 2 →3, 3 →T, T →1
With Direct Audio Input: 1 →2, 2 →3, 3 →DAI, DAI →1
You can always return to programme 1 by turning your
instrument off and then on again or by placing it in stand-
by mode and then returning to its operating mode.

Telecoil
See section “Telephone Use” for a detailed description of
this function. ReSound Danalogic 6 BTE instruments are all
equipped with a telecoil in their standard version.
Directionality
ReSound Danalogic 6 6060-DI mini is equipped with two
microphones and thus offers directionality. That is a function
which enables better speech understanding in noisy
situations. This function focuses on speech in front of you
while sounds coming from the back or the side are sup-
pressed. Directionality is available as an option in the custom
programmes. Please ask your hearing care professional about
this feature.
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 approx-
imately 5 seconds. After waiting, press the programme
selector down once. Please note that the instrument is using
asmall amount of power when it is in stand-by mode.

10
On/Off Function
ReSound Danalogic 6 mini is equipped with an on/off switch
integrated into the battery compartment. When the battery
compartment is fully closed, the instrument is turned on in
its functional mode and programme 1 will be activated.
Partially open the battery door until it snaps into the off-
position. The instrument is then switched off. Whenever you
are not wearing the instrument, remember to turn it off to
reduce battery consumption.
SmartStart
SmartStart allows you to put the instrument on the ear with-
out annoying sounds like squealing. It delays the switch on
time 10 seconds after closing the battery compartment, and
is indicated by a beep every second after closing the battery
compartment. This function can be activated or deactivated
by your hearing care professional.

11
Volume Control
The ReSound Danalogic 6 mini 4060-VI, offer a volume con-
trol allowing you to turn the volume up and down. When
wearing the instrument, you can increase the volume by
turning the volume control wheel up, and reduce volume by
turning it down.
For each volume step, you will hear a “beep” signal indicat-
ing 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 instrument has been fitted by your
hearing 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.

12
Direct Audio Input (DAI)
ReSound Danalogic 6 mini offers you the possibility of direct,
undisturbed connection to facilities such as television, radio
and remote microphone via the Direct Audio Input socket.
Often, this will improve sound quality. The sound source is
connected to your instrument with a cable or a wireless FM
system to the audio shoe. The audio shoe will connect with
a“click” to the hearing instrument and switch to Direct
Audio Input automatically.

13
Inserting and removing the instrument
-standard Ear mould
Inserting the instrument
• With the battery door opened in the off
position take the ear mould between
thumb and index finger and position
its ‘point’ in your ear canal. Now,
slide the ear mould all the way
into your ear with a gentle,
twisting movement.
Insertion can be easier if you
gently pull your auricle backwards with your other hand.
• Turn the top-part of the ear mould
gently backwards and forwards
so that it fits behind the fold
of skin above your ear canal.
• Place the hearing instrument
behind your ear. Move the ear
mould up and down and press
gently to ensure it is positioned
correctly in the ear. Opening and
closing your mouth can ease inser-
tion. You will feel when the ear
mould is positioned correctly.
• When correctly positioned switch on your instrument by
closing the battery door.

14
Inserting and removing the instrument
-Thin Tube
Inserting the instrument
• Hang the instrument over the top
of the ear.
• Grasp the Thin 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 Thin Tube stick-
ing out when you look directly
into a mirror.
• If the device whistles, the most likely
reason is that the dome is not placed
correctly in the ear canal. Other rea-
sons can be buildup 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
instrument squealing, it is recommended to contact your
hearing care professional.

15
“-”
Low Battery Warning
When the battery voltage/power decreases to a low level, the
instrument will inform you by a soft low-battery-warning sig-
nal (beep-beep). The signal indicates you should replace the
battery, and for this reason we recommend that you always
have 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.
Changing the Battery
Open the battery compartment by turning the instrument
off, and then using your fingernail to open it completely.
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.
Always use a size 13 Zinc-Air battery. 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.

16
Battery Warning Information
Batteries contain dangerous substances and should be dis-
posed 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.

17
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 (with the ear mould) in a
sealed container together with a drying agent (desiccant)
overnight. Consult your hearing care professional concerning
which drying agent to use.
Toavoid 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 hardsurfaces 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.

18
Cleaning the Ear Mould and replacing Sound
Outlet Filter
The ear mould should be cleaned regularly. Remove the ear
mould and the silicone tubing from the hearing instrument
before you clean it. Lukewarm water should be enough to
clean wax off the ear mould. If ear wax is stuck in the sound
canal of the ear mould, the cleaning loop or a syringe with
lukewarm water can easily be used to “push” the wax out.
Be sure to thoroughly dry the ear mould and its tubing before
reconnecting it to the hearing instrument. Blow gently
through the tubing to remove moisture trapped inside.
The silicone tubing connecting the ear mould to the hearing
instrument should be changed if it becomes stiff or brittle.

19
Sound Outlet Filter
If your ReSound Danalogic 6 mini is fitted with a hook, the
hook is equipped with a filter. This filter is located at the top
of the sound outlet and prevents
moisture and 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. See instructions below:
How to remove filter
Place the hook of the instru-
ment into the long groove of
the filter stick. Pull down and
the filter will be removed.
How to place filter on hook
Place the hook on one filter
and push gently. Rock the
hook back and forth until
the filter is released.
Now take the hook with the
filter attached and press it in
the hole at the end of the
filter. The filter will now be
fastened.

20
Cleaning the Thin Tube and dome
The Thin Tube feeds the amplified sound from the hearing
instrument into 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 hear-
ing care professional. You should never attempt to modify
the shape of the Thin Tube yourself.
The Thin Tube and the dome
should be cleaned regularly.
Remove the Thin Tube from the
instrument before cleaning by
unscrewing it. Use a damp cloth to
clean the Thin Tube and dome on
the outside and use the black
cleaning rod to “push” any debris
out of the Thin Tube. The cleaning rod should be inserted
where the Thin 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 Thin
Tube and dome with water, as there is a risk that a water
drop may become lodged in the Thin Tube. If this should
occur,it will prevent sound coming through the Thin Tube,
and may be harmful for the instrument's electronics.
The Thin Tube and dome should be changed every three to
six months depending on use and sooner if the Thin Tube
becomes stiffor brittle. We recommend that you have your
hearing careprofessional change the dome for you. If your
hearing careprofessional instructs you to change the domes
yourself, make surethat they aresecurely fastened to the
sound tube beforeinserting them in your ear.Afailureto
change the domes in accordance with the instructions could
result in injury.
