Getting started

On/Off function

1. When the battery door is closed, the hearing instrument will turn on, and the default program will be activated.

2. To turn the hearing instrument off, 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 open the battery doors to avoid unnecessary battery consumption.

Off

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 in your ears, your hearing care professional can activate a function called SmartStart. This function will delay the time in which the hearing instruments 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

Open the battery door completely by using your ﬁngernail.

1. Remove the used battery if present. Insert the new battery with the positive side in the correct position.

has a ‘+’ indicator to help determine the correct insertion.

The battery door

2. Always use new Zinc-Air batteries that have a minimum remaining shelf life of 1 year

3. 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.

Low battery indicator

Your hearing care professional can activate a low battery indicator in your hearing instruments. The hearing instrument will reduce ampliﬁcation and emit a beep signal if battery power gets too low. This signal will recur every ﬁve minutes until the hearing instrument automatically switches off. 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 these 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 two sets of descending tones. After this, your hearing instrument and ReSound Unite Remote
