Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new hearing instruments. ReSound’s innovative sound
technology and design, combined with the customised set-up selected by your hearing care
professional, will make hearing a more enjoyable experience. Hearing instruments will enable you
to hear sounds that you may not have heard in years because of your hearing loss. Practice and
a positive attitude are important in learning to use hearing instruments. Your ReSound instru-
ments have been adjusted according to your individual hearing loss and needs. Some people
adjust quickly to wearing hearing instruments in their ears and hearing new sounds; other
people may need more time.
Please read this manual carefully in order to wholly benefit from the use of your hearing instru-
ments. With proper care, maintenance, and usage, your hearing instruments will aid you in
better communication for many years. Ask your hearing care professional if you have any ques-
tions.

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 in your ears, your hearing care professional can activate
a function called SmartStart. This function will delay the time in which the hearing instruments
turn on by ten seconds after the battery compartment is closed. This reduces the risk that the
hearing instruments will whistle while you put them in. With SmartStart, a beep will be heard for
each second of the delay period.
Getting started
On/Off function
1. When the battery door is closed, the hearing instrument
turns on, and the default program will be activ ated.
2. To turn off the hearing instrument off, open the battery door.
Many individuals can use their fingernail to pull it open.
Tip: Whenever the hearing instruments are not in use, remember to open the
battery doors to avoid unnecessary battery consumption.

Low battery indicator
Your hearing care professional can activate a low battery indicator in your hearing instruments.
The hearing instrument will reduce amplification and emit a beep signal if battery power gets too
low. This signal will recur every five minutes until the hearing instrument automatically switches
off. The low battery indicator can vary slightly, depending on the type of battery used. It is
recommended that you keep spare batteries on hand.
Inserting/Replacing the battery
1. Open the battery door completely by using your fingernail.
2. Remove the used battery if present. Insert the new battery
with the positive side in the correct position. The battery
door has a ‘+’ indicator to help determine the correct inser-
tion.
3. Always use Zinc-Air batteries.
4. Gently close the battery door.
Tip: When the hearing instruments are not in use for an extended
period of time, removing the batteries may help prevent corrosion
of the battery compartment, and ensure that battery life is not
shortened.

Insertion (remote microphone)
1. Hold the hearing instrument between your thumb and index finger, either
above and below or on the sides.
2. Place the sound outlet portion into your ear canal. Turn the top part of the
earmould gently backwards and forwards so that it tucks behind the fold
of skin above your ear canal.
3. Insert the hearing instrument into your ear canal. Opening and closing
your mouth may ease insertion.
4. Gently push the microphone into the creased area of the ear that is located
above the microphone entrance, and make sure the tubing is in place.
Inserting/Removing hearing instruments
Insertion (CIC, mini-canal, ITC, and ITE)
1. Hold the hearing instrument between your thumb and index finger, either
above and below or on the sides.
2. Place the sound outlet portion into your ear canal. Turn the top part of the
hearing instrument gently backwards and forwards so that it tucks behind
the fold of skin above your ear canal.
3. Insert the hearing instrument into your ear canal. Opening and closing
your mouth may ease insertion.

16 17
Removal (CIC, remote microphone, and mini-canal)
1. Hold the removal cord with your thumb and index finger and pull outward.
2. Hold the edges of the hearing instrument with your thumb and forefinger
and pull outward while slightly rotating your hand forward.
3. If remote microphone hearing instruments do not have a removal cord,
gently pull outward with the microphone tubing.
Note: Consult your hearing care professional if you have difficulty
removing the hearing instruments.
By experimenting, an easier method may be discovered. With proper insertion, hearing instru-
ments should fit snugly but comfortably. If hearing instruments cause irritation of the ears,
contact your hearing care professional. Never attempt to modify the shape of the hearing instru-
ment yourself.
Tip: It may be helpful to pull your ear up and outward with your opposite hand during insertion.
Removal (ITC and ITE)
1. Hold the edges of the hearing instrument with your thumb and forefinger.
2. Pull outward while slightly rotating your hand forward.

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 available on your model, your hearing care professional may have activated a function that
enables the hearing instruments to learn how you adjust the volume control settings. With this
function, the hearing instruments will learn your volume preferences over time, and will adjust
the volume automatically. This can be deactivated or reset by your hearing care professional.
Operation of the hearing instrument
Volume control (ITC and ITE models)
The volume control will allow the volume of hearing instruments to be increased or decreased.
1. To increase the volume, rotate the volume control forward (towards your face when you are
wearing the hearing instruments).
2. To decrease the volume,
rotate the volume control
backward (away from your
face).
