Volume Control
The volume control in your ReSound V instrument is fully
automatic, so there is no need to bother with adjustments.
Your instrument has been programmed to vary its amplifica-
tion according to your needs. However you have the option
of decreasing the volume by selecting the Comfort Mode, a
standard feature for more comfort in noisy environments
with less demanding speech understanding needs (in the car,
at the mall).

Mode Selector
In ReSound V you have a basic programme and 3 different
modes. The first mode is the Comfort Mode, and if you select
the telecoil option you have additionally the T and MT modes.
If your hearing care professional has programmed the telecoil
option with the specific mode into your instrument, you can
select the modes simply by depressing the push button. You will
then hear one or more “beeps”, indicating which mode you
have selected. Your hearing instrument will switch modes as
follows:
Example with 3 modes:
Basic programme →Comfort Mode,
Comfort Mode →MT mode,
MT mode →Tmode,
Tmode →Basic programme
Example with 2 modes:
Basic programme →ComfortMode,
Comfort Mode →T or MT mode,
Tor MT mode →Basic programme
Example with 1 mode:
Basic programme →Comfort Mode,
Comfort Mode →Basic programme
You can always return to the basic programme by turning your
instrument off and then on again (see “On/Off Function”) or
byplacing it in stand-bymode and then returning to its nor-
mal function mode (see “Stand-by Function”on the next page).

To put the instrument into stand-by mode, hold down the
mode 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 approximately 5
seconds. After waiting, press the mode selector once. Please
note that the instrument is using a small amount of power
when in stand-by mode.
On/Off Function
Your ReSound V ITC (In-The-Canal)
is equipped with an on/off
switch integrated into
the battery compart-
ment. When the battery
compartment is fully closed,
the instrument is turned on in its
functional mode and the basic
programme will be activated. Toturn the instrument off,
open the batterycompartment with your fingernail.
Whenever you are not wearing the instrument, remember to
turn it off to reduce batteryconsumption.

Insertion of the Hearing Instrument
To insert the hearing instrument into your ear:
1. Grip the instrument with your thumb and forefinger,
either above and below or on the sides (as shown) with
the programme selector on top.
2. Place the sound outlet portion into your ear canal.
3. Insert the hearing instrument carefully with a slight
“corkscrew” motion.
By experimenting, you may find a method that is easier
for you. When properly inserted, the instrument should fit
comfortably and tightly in your ear. It is important that the
custom shell fits correctly into your ear. If your hearing
instrument irritates your ear in any way and prevents you
from wearing your hearing instrument, please contact your
hearing care professional to have the custom shell modified.
You should never attempt to modify the shape of the custom
shell yourself.
