Inserting instruments with an earmold
It takes patience and practice to insert your
earmold correctly. If you have difculty, please
consult your hearing care professional.
• Hold the earmold by the
tubing so that the helix part is pointing straight up and the canal part is pointing at the ear canal entrance.
• Insert the canal part into
your ear canal, twisting slightly to ease the helix portion into place. It may help to pull the ear lobe down with the other hand, or pull the top of the ear back and up.
10
• Run your index nger down
VR_ILU_ Inser tingMi croBTEhoo k2_BW_H I
the skin just in front of your ear. If you can touch the helix part of the earmold, it is not inserted correctly. Gently push it behind the fold of your ear.
• Lift the hearing instrument
into place behind your ear. Be careful not to twist the tubing.
11
Removing earmold and hearing instruments
• Lift the instrument from your ear rst.
• Push the back of your ear with your thumb
to loosen the helix part of the earmold, then
use your index nger to remove it.
• Grasp the helix part of the earmold and twist
it forward.
• Gently pull the earmold straight out of the ear, holding on to the helix part of the mold.
Important: Do not remove the earmold by pulling on the hearing instrument. This could disconnect the instrument from the earmold or damage the tubing.

a Spira Flex sound tube
Practice inserting your sound tube correctly.
• First, position the hearing
instrument behind your ear.
• Grasp the bend of the
sound tube and gently push the dome into your ear canal until the tube rests against the side of your head.
• Push the ear grip into the bowl of your ear.
• If the sound tube is stick­ing out from your ear, insert the dome further. If the ear grip is sticking out, it has not been positioned correctly.
13
Removing your instruments and Spira Flex sound tube
• Grasp the bend of the sound tube and gently pull the tube and dome out of your ear.
• Lift the instrument from behind your ear.
Important: Do not remove the sound tube and dome by pulling on the hearing instrument. This might disconnect the instrument from the sound tube.

15
Changing the volume level
Bernafon Veras IFU micro BTE
VR_ILU_M ultiControlMi croBTE _BW_HI
To increase the volume
Give a short press to the upper button on the Multi Control, repeating until you reach the desired loud­ness level. You will hear a beep when you reach the programmed maximum.
To decrease the volume
Give a short press to the lower button on the Multi Control, repeating until you reach the desired loudness level. You will hear a beep when you reach the programmed minimum.
Note: Your instruments automatically return to a preset loudness level when the instrument starts, the battery is low, or when the program is changed. If you nd that you frequently need to turn the volume up or down, your hearing care professional may need to adjust your settings.
16
Changing programs
Your hearing instrument can be congured with 3 to 4 listening programs. Please see page 50 to nd out which programs have been congured for your hearing instruments. You can change pro­grams as follows:
Multi Control
A long press (about 2 seconds) on either the upper or lower button will change the program. The number of beeps you hear will tell you which program you are in.
RC-P or SoundGate
The program can be changed with either of these devices. Please see pages 27 and 28 for instructions.
Note: Your hearing care professional can program the Multi Control to have only one function or to operate for program changes on one ear and volume level changes on the other ear, if you
nd this helpful. Please go to page 51 to see how your Multi Control has been congured.
17
Telecoil function
The telecoil helps you hear better when using a telephone or in buildings where inductive loop systems are installed (places of worship, halls, theatres, etc.). When the telecoil is active, you hear directly through the telephone or inductive loop. To access the telecoil, go to the telecoil program. See page 50.
This symbol or a similar sign should be displayed wherever a permanent loop has been installed.
Note: Not all telephones are compatible with hearing instruments.
18
Telephone use
Auto Telephone
Your instrument has an Auto Telephone functio­nality. When the hearing instrument is close to a telephone receiver, the Auto Telephone will activate a phone program. When you end your conversation, the hearing instrument will auto­matically return to the previous program.
Note: All telephones can activate the Auto Tele­phone. The telephone receiver may need to have a special magnet
tted. Please follow the
separate instructions for mounting the magnet, which are available from your hearing care profes­sional.
19
Your hearing care professional can congure your
instruments to allow answering the phone on both ears or on your preferred ear. If you have a pre­ferred ear, the instrument on the opposite side can be programmed to sound softer or to mute when the Auto Telephone is active. Please see page 52
to nd out how your instruments are congured.
Warning
• Keep magnets out of reach of children and
pets. If a magnet is swallowed, see a doctor immediately.
• Do not wear the magnet in a breast pocket
and keep it 30 cm away from pacemakers and other active implants.
• Use the magnet on the opposite side from
active implantable devices.
• Keep the magnet 30 cm away from credit
cards or other magnetically sensitive items.
