3. While pairing mode is activated, close the battery doors of
both hearing instruments and make sure they are ON. (If the

for your hearing care professional, who in most cases
will complete the tasks that are necessary before the

However, the process is designed to be simple and should be
easily accomplished by almost anyone.
Pairing is the process of setting up an exclusive communication
between your hearing instruments and your ReSound Unite TV.
Your hearing care practitioner can set up pairing during the fitting
of your hearing instruments. Alternatively, you can follow the steps

nel indicator light number 1 (#8 on page 9) will be turned on
when the pairing button has been pressed only once. Pairing
mode will be activated for 20 seconds.
