Before using your Multi Mic, you need to charge the rechargeable
battery. To charge it, plug the charging cable into the Multi Mic as
shown in the picture below.
Next, plug the other end of the charging cable into the charger
and into a power outlet.
During the charging process, the status LED indicator will show
a solid red light. When fully charged and still connected to the
charger, the LED will turn solid red, interrupted by a green blink
every 2 seconds.
Charging an empty battery typically takes about 3 hours. It is safe
to leave the charger connected overnight –
the batter y cannot be overcharged.
• When charging your Multi Mic for the first time, let it charge for
at least 3 hours, even if the battery indicator indicates that the
battery is fully charged.
• For safety reasons, recharge the battery only with chargers
supplied by ReSound.
Note: To protect the Multi Mic when not in use, please place
i
it in the carrying pouch delivered with the product.

green. After releasing the Power button, the status LED will blink
green every 2 seconds.
To turn the Multi Mic OFF, press and hold the ON/ OFF button for
approximately 1.5 seconds, until the status LED turns red – indicating that the unit is shutting down.
If the battery level is low, the status LED will blink orange once
every second.
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 Multi 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 Multi 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 Multi 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 Multi Mic is ready to be
paired in channel 1. Your
Multi 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 Multi
Mic!
Pairing the Multi Mic in channel 2 or 3 (For people using more
than one streaming device)
To pair the Multi 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.
To pair the Multi Mic in channel 3, press the pairing button three
times. The LED will now blink yellow three times every 2 seconds
to indicate that it is ready to be paired in channel 3. Close the battery doors on the hearing instruments.
Turn ON the Multi Mic and make sure your hearing instruments
are turned ON. Streaming can be started in one of three ways.
1. Press and hold the push or toggle button on both hearing
instruments for about three seconds in order to listen to a
streamed audio signal*. If ear to ear program coordination is
activated in you hearing instruments, you only have to activate
streaming on one of the hearing instruments.
2. If you have a ReSound Unite™ Remote Control (optional
accessory), simply press the streaming button
on the
Remote Control*.
3. If you use a ReSound app offering remote control functionality,
simply select the Multi Mic program in the program screen*.
*Once the hearing instruments connect to the Multi Mic, a short
“streaming activation” melody will play in your hearing instruments followed by the streamed sound.
Start streaming from a 2nd or 3rd streaming device
If your hearing instruments are paired to more than one streaming device, you can start streaming from one of these devices in
three ways.
1. Press and hold the hearing instrument program button for
about 3 seconds two or three times in a row to access the 2nd
or 3rd ReSound streaming device.
2. If you use a Unite™ Remote Control (optional accessory),
press the streaming button on the Unite™ Remote Control a
2nd or 3rd time to access the 2nd or 3rd ReSound streaming
device.
3. If you use a ReSound app offering remote control functionality,
simply select the desired streaming program in the program
screen.

Streaming can be stopped in the following three ways:
1. Push the program button on your hearing instruments once*.
2. If you have a ReSound Unite™ Remote Control (optional accessory), press the “P” button, located in the center of the key
pad*. You may also press the home button to return to your
default settings.
3. If you use a ReSound app, select the desired program in the
program screen.
*This will return the hearing instruments to the last program used.
