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.
Remove the batteries to prevent battery leakage or corrosion when the hearing instru-
ments 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

the hearing instrument will play two sets of descending tones. After this, your hearing instru-
ment and ReSound Unite Remote Control will continue to work as usual, but you will not be
able to use your ReSound Unite TV, Phone Clip or Mini Microphone. At some point the battery
level will also be too low to support the remote control 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, Unite TV and
Mini Microphone) 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, Phone Clip and Mini Microphone cannot be supported,

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-
molds, 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 earmolds)
1. Hold the earmold between your thumb and index finger and position its sound outlet in your
ear canal.
2. Slide the earmold all the way into your ear with a gentle, twisting movement.
3. Turn the top part of the earmold gently backwards and forwards so that it tucks behind the
fold of skin above your ear canal.
4. Move the earmold 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.

Removal (custom earmolds)
1. Hold a portion of your earmold towards the back of the ear.
2. Pull the earmold outward and simultaneously rotate the earmold forward.
3. Consult your hearing care professional if you have difficulties removing the hearing
instrument.
Removal (domes/custom earmolds with thin tubes)
1. Hold the thin tube with your thumb and forefinger and pull the tube
outward.
2. For thin tube custom earmolds, grasp the removal string and pull the
earmold outward.
3. Consult your hearing care professional if you have difficulties removing
the hearing instrument.
Insertion (domes/custom earmolds with thin tubes)
1. Hold the thin tube where it bends, and gently push the dome/custom earmold 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/custom earmold fit correctly into your ear.
3. When the dome/custom earmold 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.
