Pairing to your hearing instruments
Note! The following information is primarily intended for your
hearing care professional, who in most cases will complete the
necessary tasks needed before the Micro Mic can be used with
your hearing instruments. However, the process is designed to be
simple and most people can do it themselves.
It is possible to pair up to three ReSound streaming devices - e.g.
one Micro Mic and two T V streamers (optional Unite™ accessory)
- with a given pair of hearing instruments. Therefore, channel 1, 2
or 3 must be selected when starting the pairing process.
1. Make sure the Micro Mic is turned ON. Your hearing instruments must be OFF – open the battery doors.
2. With the tip of a pen
or similar object, press
the small pairing button once, as shown in
the picture to the right.
The status LED will now
blink orange once every
2 seconds to indicate that
the Micro Mic is ready to
be paired in channel 1.
Your Micro Mic will remain in Pairing mode for 20 seconds.
3. While in Pairing mode, close the battery doors on both hearing instruments and make sure they are ON. A successful
pairing will be indicated by an audible melody being played in
both hearing instruments and the status LED (see page 8) will
stay solid orange for 3 seconds. You are now ready to use the
Micro Mic!
Pairing the Micro Mic in channel 2 or 3 (For people using more
than one streaming device)
To pair the Micro Mic in channel 2, press the pairing button twice.
The status LED will now blink yellow twice ever y 2 seconds to
indicate that it is ready to be paired in channel 2. Close the batter y
doors on the hearing instruments.

device within a range of 10-40cm (4-16 inches) from the speaker’s mouth. When using the clip, make sure that the Micro Mic
is mounted vertically with the Status LED pointing towards the
mouth.
Micro Mic is designed to provide a comfortable listening level
from the moment it is activated. However, for some devices or listening environments you may want to adjust the volume. This can
be accomplished in a variety of ways. Keep in mind that volume
adjustments apply to the streamed signal only.
• Use the “+” and “-“ buttons (see page 9) to adjust volume to a
comfortable level.
Every volume change on the on the Micro Mic will be indicated
by a short blink of the Mute LED. When reaching the ma ximum or
minimum volume level the Mute LED will show a longer (1 second)
steady orange light.
