turn on by several seconds after the battery compartment is closed. With SmartStart, a beep
will be heard for each second of the delay period.
Inserting/Replacing the battery
3. Open the battery door completely by using your fingernail.
4. Remove the used battery if present. Insert the new battery with the positive
side in the correct position.
5. Always use new Zinc-Air batteries that have a minimum remaining shelf
life of 1 year.
6. Gently close the battery door.
Tip: Remove the batteries to prevent battery leakage or corrosion when the hearing
instruments are not in use for an extended period of time.
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.
Tip: Whenever the hearing instruments are not in use, remember to turn them off to avoid
unnecessary battery consumption.
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 on your ear, your hearing care professional can activate
a function called SmartStart. This function will delay the time in which the hearing instruments

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
and Phone Clip. At some point the battery level will also be too low to support the remote con-
trol as well 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.
Sports lock
The Sports lock will be applied or adjusted by your hearing care professional.
Low battery indicator
Your hearing care professional can activate a low battery indicator in your hearing instruments.
The hearing instrument will reduce amplification and play a melody if battery power gets too
low. This signal will recur every five minutes until the hearing instrument automatically switches
off. The timing of the low battery indicator can vary slightly, depending on the type of battery
used. It is recommended that you keep spare batteries on hand.
Low battery indicator (instruments paired with accessories only)
Active usage of the ReSound Unite accessories (Remote Control, Phone Clip and Unite TV)
requires more battery power from the hearing instruments than when they are working without
accessories which means that battery life is highly dependent on the amount of wireless
accessory usage. When the battery in the hearing instrument has depleted to a level at which use
of the ReSound Unite TV and Phone Clip cannot be supported, the hearing instrument will play

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.
Note: Never attempt to modify the shape of the hearing instrument, ear-
moulds, or tubing yourself.
Tip: It may be helpful to pull your ear up and outward with your opposite
hand during insertion.
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.

18 19
Removal (custom earmolds)
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.
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.
Note: You should never attempt to bend
or modify the shape of the thin tube.
