Congratulations
Congratulations on getting a hearing aid. We are proud of our hearing
products and are confident you have chosen one of the best
products available.
Please familiarize yourself with the information in this guide. It contains
important instructions for proper use and care, technical performance
information, and other general information about your hearing system.
Your hearing system has been adjusted to your particular hearing loss.
Your hearing health care professional will explain these adjustments
and the special features of your particular model.

Becoming accustomed to amplification
While getting a hearing system is a major step, it is only one step in a
process toward more comfortable hearing. Successfully adapting to
the amplification your hearing system provides takes time and
consistent use.
lYou will enjoy more benefits from your ReSound Danalogic hearing
system by taking the following actions:
lWear the system regularly in order to get comfortable with using it.
lIt takes time to get used to a hearing aid. It may help to begin by
wearing your hearing aid for short periods – even as little as
15 minutes – and then gradually building up your wearing time. In a
way, it’s no different than adjusting to contact lenses. Speak to your
hearing care professional, who can design a schedule tailored just
for you.
lAs you get more comfortable with the system, increase the
wearing time and wear your hearing system in multiple types of
listening environments.
It may take as long as several months for your brain to get used to all
the “new” sounds around you. Following these suggestions will give
your brain time to learn how to interpret amplification and increase the
benefits you get from using a ReSound Danalogic hearing system.

Getting started
On&Off function
1 When the battery door is
closed, the hearing instrument turns on,
and the default program will be activated.
2 To turn off the hearing instrument, open the battery door. Many
individuals can use their fingernail to pull it open.
iWhenever the hearing instruments are not in use, remember to
turn them off to avoid unnecessary battery consumption.
Delayed activation
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
on your ear, your hearing care professional can activate a function
called Delayed on-activation. This function will delay the time in which
the hearing instruments turn on by several seconds after the battery
compartment is closed. With Delayed on-activation, a beep will be
heard for each second of the delay period.
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.
3 Gently close the battery door.
iAlways use new Zinc-Air batteries that have a minimum remaining
shelf-life of 1 year.

10
Getting started
iWARNING
1 Remove the batteries to prevent leakage when the hearing
instruments are not in use for an extended period of time.
2 Do not attempt to recharge batteries (Zinc Air) which are not
specifically designated as rechargeable because they may leak or
explode.
3 Do not place batteries in your mouth. Consult a physician
immediately if a battery has been swallowed, as they can be harmful
to your health.
4 Keep batteries away from pets, children and individuals who are
mentally challenged.
5 Do not attempt to dispose of batteries by burning them. Used
batteries are harmful to the environment. Please dispose of them
according to local regulations or return them to your hearing care
practitioner.

11
Low battery indicator
Your hearing care professional can set your hearing instrument to give
an acoustical indication when the battery is reaching its end of life. The
hearing instrument will reduce amplification and emit a melody if battery
power gets too low. This signal will recur every five minutes until the
hearing instrument automatically switches off. It is recommended that
you keep spare batteries on hand.
Low battery indicator
(instruments paired with accessories only)
Active usage of the ReSound Unite wireless accessories (Remote
Control, Phone Clip, TV Streamer and Mini Microphone) requires more
battery power from the hearing instruments than when these are
working on their own. When the battery in the hearing instrument has
depleted to a level at which use of the ReSound Unite TV Streamer TV
and Phone Clip cannot be supported, the hearing instrument will play
two sets of descending tones. After this, your hearing instrument and
ReSound Unite Remote Control will continue to work as usual, but you
will not be able to use your ReSound Unite TV Streamer and Phone
Clip. At some point the battery level will not support the remote control
either and you will once again hear the descending tones. The hearing
instruments will continue to work as usual. Once a new battery is
inserted, full operation of the accessories will resume.

12
Inserting/Removing hearing instruments
Insertion (custom earmoulds)
1 Hold the earmould between your thumb and index finger and
position its sound outlet in your ear canal.
2 Slide the earmould all the way into your ear with a gentle,
twisting movement.
3 Turn the top part of the earmould gently backwards and forwards
so that it tucks behind the fold of skin above your ear canal.
4 Move the earmould up and down and gently press to ensure it is
positioned correctly in the ear. Opening and closing your mouth can
ease insertion.
5 Make sure the hearing instrument is seated behind the ear.
By experimenting, an easier method may be discovered. With proper
insertion, hearing instruments should fit snugly
but comfortably. If the hearing instruments cause
irritation of the ears, contact your hearing
care professional.
iCAUTION
Never attempt to modify the shape of the hearing
instrument, earmoulds, or tubing yourself.
iIt may be helpful to pull your ear up and
outward with your opposite hand during insertion.

13
Insertion (domes/custom earmoulds with thin tubes)
1 Hold the thin tube where it bends, and gently push the dome into
the ear canal. Push the dome far enough into the ear canal so that
the thin tube lies flush with the head.
2 It is important that the tube and the dome fit correctly into your ear.
3 When the dome is place correctly, you should not be able to see the
thin tube sticking out when facing a mirror.
iCAUTION
You should never attempt to bend or modify the shape of the thin tube.
iCAUTION
Use only original ReSound Danalogic/GN Hearing consumables
e.g. tubes and domes.

14
Inserting/Removing hearing instruments
Removal (custom earmoulds)
1 Hold a portion of your earmould towards the back of the ear.
2 Pull the earmould outward and simultaneously rotate the
earmould forward.
3 Consult your hearing care professional if you have difficulties
removing the hearing instrument.
Removal (domes/custom earmoulds with thin tubes)
1 Hold the thin tube with your thumb and forefinger and pull the
tube outward.
2 For thin tube custom earmoulds, grasp
the removal string and pull the
earmould outward.
3 Consult your hearing care professional
if you have difficulties removing the
hearing instrument.

15
Operation of the hearing instrument
Volume control (optional)
The volume control will allow the volume
of hearing instruments to be increased
or decreased.
1 To increase the volume, push the
volume control up or move the
wheel upwards.
2 To decrease the volume, push the
volume control down or move the wheel downwards.
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.
During the fitting of the instrument, your hearing care professional will
have chosen an optimal volume setting for you. When switching the
instrument on, the volume will have this optimal setting.

16
Operation of the hearing instrument
Push button
Depending on your experience level
with hearing instruments, individual
hearing needs, and the type of
listening environments you experience, your hearing
care professional may activate additional programmes.
If additional programmes have been activated, the
following list explains how they work.
1 You can switch between programmes by pushing the push
button once.
2 You will then hear one or more beeps. The number of beeps
indicates which programme you have selected (one beep =
programme one, two beeps = programme two, etc.).
When the hearing instruments are turned off and then back on, the
hearing instrument always returns to the default setting (programme one).
Only applicable to wireless devices.
If your hearing system supports wireless
functionality and it is paired with wireless
accessory like TV Streamer you can activate
streaming mode.
1
Push and hold the push button for
2 seconds.
2 You will then hear short melody that
indicates streaming mode.

17
To switch back to the environmental program push the push button
shortly. Hearing Instrument will return to the default setting
(programme one).
For easier everyday use of your hearing instrument you can use a
wireless remote control. Ask your hearing care professional for
more information.
Flight mode. Only applicable to WL devices*
iCAUTION
When boarding a flight or entering an area where RF transmitters
are prohibited, wireless functionality must be deactivated, as it is
not allowed to radiate radio signals. It is possible to disable wireless
operation by opening and closing the battery compartment of the
hearing instrument while at the same time pressing the push button.
When disabled manually, wireless operation may be re-enabled by
opening and closing the battery compartment normally, (i.e. without at
the same time pressing the push button).

18
Telephone use
Finding the optimal position for holding a telephone
may require practice for some individuals, and one or
more of the following suggestions may be helpful.
1 Hold the telephone as you would normally.
2 Hold the telephone towards the top of the ear
(closer to where the microphones are).
3 If whistling occurs, it may take a few seconds of
holding the telephone in the same position before
the hearing instrument eliminates the feedback.
4 Any whistling may also be decreased by holding the telephone
slightly away from the ear.
5 Depending on your individual needs, your hearing care professional
may activate a programme specifically for telephone use.
Listen to radio or TV
When listening to the TV or the radio, start out by listening to news
commentators since they usually speak clearly, then try other
programmes. If you find it difficult to listen to TV or radio, your
hearing care professional will be able to give you advice on available
accessories to enhance your listening capabilities for TV and radio.
Mobile phones
Your hearing instrument is designed to comply with the most stringent
Standards of International Electromagnetic Compatibility. However, not
all mobile phones are hearing instrument compatible.

19
The varying degree of disturbance can be due to the nature of your
particular mobile phone or of your wireless telephone service provider.
If you find it difficult to obtain a good result while using your mobile
phone, your hearing care professional will be able to give you advice on
available accessories to enhance listening capabilities.
Telecoil (optional)
If equipped, a telecoil can be activated by your hearing care
professional and accessed through one of the additional programmes.
A telecoil picks up a telephone’s magnetic signal and converts it to
sound. An optional telephone programme may help to improve speech
understanding on the telephone. When using a telecoil programme,
the receiver of the telephone may need to be held closer to the hearing
instrument. The handset of the telephone may need to be moved to
slightly different positions in order to find the best reception.
Tele-loop systems (optional)
Many places, such as theatres, houses of worship, and schools are
equipped with tele-loop systems. When using a telecoil programme
with tele-loop systems, sound is picked up directly and may
improve speech understanding. If there is no sound from the hearing
instruments in a tele-loop system and with a telecoil programme
activated, the tele-loop system may not be turned on or is not
operating correctly. If a facility is not equipped with a tele-loop system,
sitting as close as possible to the front may be helpful.

Direct Audio Input (optional)
Use of Direct Audio Input (DAI), which enables a direct connection of
the hearing instruments to items such as television, radio, and remote
microphones, may increase speech understanding for some individuals.
The sound source is connected to the hearing instruments by a cable
or a wireless FM system to the audio boot.
This accessory connects to the bottom of the
hearing instruments, and once properly clicked
into place, the hearing instruments switch to
DAI automatically.
