Getting started
On/Off function
1. When the bat tery door i s closed, the he aring instr ument turns o n, and the defaul t programme w ill be
activ ate d.
2. To turn off the h earing ins trument, ope n the batter y door. Many individu als can use th eir fingern ail to
pull it open.
SmartStart
Hearing in struments c an be turned on once you have plac ed them on
your ears. If you p refer to turn them o n just prior to placing them on you r
ear, your hearing care professio nal can activate a function ca lled Smar tStart. This function w ill delay the tim e in which the he aring instr uments
turn on afte r the batter y compart ment is close d. With Smar tStart, a beep
will be heard for each seco nd of the delay pe riod.
Inserting/Replacing the battery
1. Open the battery door completely by using your
fingernail. Remove the used b attery if p resent.
2. Prepare the new battery (plea se refer to page 6 for
information o n appropriate battery t ype/size for your
hearing in strument). Remove the protective foil a nd
wait 2 minutes b efore inser ting the battery into the
hearing in strument to all ow activation of the b attery.
3. Inser t the new batter y with the pos itive side in the
correct position.
4. Gentl y close the bat tery door.
i
Tip:
1. Always use new Z inc-Air batte ries that have a mi nimum remai ning shelf l ife of 1 year.
2. Whe never the hea ring instruments are not in us e, remember to tur n them off to avoid u nnecess ary
battery consumption.
3. Remove the sti cker from the bat tery and le t it air for 2 minutes before you inse rt it.
4. If the hea ring instru ment is exper iencing f requent los s of connectio n to ReSound Uni te accessor ies,
contact your h earing ca re profession al for a list of low imp edance bat teries.
16 17
Low battery indicator
Your hearing care p rofessiona l can activate a low bat tery indicator in your hea ring instru ments. The he aring instrum ent will reduce amplification and play a me lody if batte ry power gets too low. This signal will
recur ever y 15 minutes until the hea ring instru ment automati cally switch es off. The timing of the low batter y
indicator ca n vary slig htly, depending on th e type of bat tery used. It is recommend ed that you keep spare
batteries on hand.
Low batter y indicator when paired with wireless accessories only
Active usage of th e ReSound wi reless acc essorie s (Remote Control, Re mote Control 2, Phone Clip, Phone
Clip+, TV Stream er, TV Streamer 2, Resound Micro Mi c and Resoun d Multi Mic) or an FM re ceiver requires
more batter y power from the h earing ins truments tha n when they are wor king witho ut accesso ries. That
means that bat tery life is highly dep endent on the a mount of wirel ess acces sory usa ge. When the bat tery in
the hearin g instrument h as depleted to a leve l at which use of ReSound wire less TV Streamer, TV Strea mer
2, Phone Clip, Phone Cli p+, Resound Micro Mic and Resoun d Multi Mic cannot be suppor ted, the hear ing
instrumen t will play two sets of descendi ng tones.
After this, you r hearing in strument an d ReSound Re mote Control or Remote Control 2 will continue to work
as usual, but you will not be able to us e your ReSoun d TV Stream er, TV Streamer 2, Pho ne Clip, Phone
Clip+, Resound Micro Mic and Res ound Multi Mic. At some point the bat tery level will also be too low to
support the remote control f unctional ity as well, an d you will once ag ain hear the descending tones. The
hearing in struments will continue to wor k as usual. Onc e a new batter y is inserted, full operation of the accessories will resume.
Inserting/Removing hearing instruments

Cellular phones
Your hearing instr ument is designed to comp ly with the most stringent
Standards of International Electromagnetic Compatibility. However,
not all cell ph ones are hea ring instru ment compati ble. The var ying degree of distur bance can be d ue to the nature of your pa rticula r cellular
phone or of your wireless telephone service provider.
If you find it dif ficult to obtain a g ood result w hile using you r cellular
phone, your he aring care professional w ill be able to give you advice
on available wireless accessories to enhance listening capabilities.
PhoneNow
The PhoneNow function, allows your hearing instrument to automatically switch to your tele phone programme whe n a telephone re ceiver is ra ised to the ear. When the tel ephone rec eiver is remove d from the
ear, the hearing ins trument automatically retu rns to the previous listening pro gramme.
26 27
Placement of PhoneNow magnets
Place PhoneNow magnet on your telephone receiver to allow operation of the PhoneNow function. In order
to place PhoneNow magnet properly:
1. Clean the telephone receiver thoroughly.
2. Hold the telephone vertically, in a position similar to when making a telephone call.
3. Place the magnets just below the telephone receiver. Make sure not to cover the microphone openings.
If necess ary, move the magnet to an other positio n to improve ease of use and comfor t while spea king.
4. If you are not s atisfied with the strength of Ph oneNow, you can reposition the Ph oneNow magnet or add
additional PhoneNow magnets.
PhoneNow usage
Telephones can b e used in a normal manner. A short melody will i ndicate that the Ph oneNow featu re has
automatically switched the hearing instrument to your telephone programme. Initially, you may need to
move the telephone receiver slightly to find the best position for reliable PhoneNow activation and good
hearing on the telephone.
If you have two hea ring instruments with the s ynchroniz ation function enabled, th e volume of hearing instru ment on the non-phone ear will be turned down.
i
Only use recommended cleaning agent to clean the telephone prior to placing the magnet on the
phone in order to obtain best possible adherence.
i PhoneNow warnings
1. Keep magnets o ut of reach of pets, childre n and people with me ntal disabilitie s. If a magnet is swallowed,
please seek advice from a medical practitioner.
2. The m agnet may affect some med ical devic es or electro nic systems. The manufactur er of any
magnetically sensitive devices (e.g. pacemakers) should advise you regarding appropriate safety
precautio ns when usin g your hearin g instrument and magnet in close proximit y to the medica l device
or electron ic system in ques tion.If the manu facturer can not issue a state ment, we recomm end keeping
the magnet or a telephone equipped with the magnet 30 cm (12”) away from magnetically sensitive
devices (e.g. pacemakers).
i PhoneNow precautions
1. High distortion during dialing or phoning may mean that the magnet is not in the optimal position relative
to the telephone r eceiver. To avoid the issue, p lease move the magnet to anothe r place on the telephone
receiver.
2. Only use magnets supplied by ReSound.

Telecoil (optional)
A telecoil ca n be activated by your hearing ca re professional and acce ssed through o ne of the additio nal
programmes. A telecoil picks up a telephone’s magnetic signal and converts it to sound. An optional telephone programme may help to improve speech understanding on the telephone. When using a telecoil
programme, th e receiver of th e telephone may need to be held cl oser to the hear ing instrum ent. The handset of the telephone may need to be move d to slightly dif ferent positions in order to find the best rec eption.
Tele-loop systems
Many places, such as theatre s, houses of worship, and scho ols are equipped with tele -loop systems. When
using a telec oil programm e with tele-lo op systems, soun d is picked up dire ctly and may improve speech
understa nding. If there is no sound from the hearing instruments in a tele-loop system and with a telec oil
programme a ctivated, the tele- loop system may not b e turned on or is not operating c orrectly. If a facili ty is
not equippe d with a tele-lo op system, sitti ng as close as po ssible to the fro nt may be helpfu l.
FM and Direct audio input (optional)
An FM system can g reatly improve sp eech unde rstanding in many situations such as whe n a speaker is a

Tinnitus Sound Generator (TSG) module
Intended use for the TSG module
Your ReSound hearing instrument includes the Tinnitus Sound Generator function, a tool for generating
sounds to be used in tinnitus management programmes to relieve suffering from tinnitus.
The Tinnitus Sound Generator can generate sounds adjusted to the specific therapeutic needs and your
personal preference as determined by your doctor, audiologist, or hearing healthcare professional. Depending on th e selected hearing ins trument programme and t he environme nt you are in, you will sometimes
hear the therapeutic sound resembling a continuous or fluctuating humming.
User instructions for the TSG module
Description of the device
The Tinnitus Sound Gen erator (TSG) Mo dule is a software tool that ge nerates soun ds to be used in tinn itus
management programmes to relieve suffering from tinnitus.
Explanation of how the device functions
The TSG module is a frequency and amplitude shaped white-noise generator. Noise signal level and frequency cha racteristic s can be adjus ted to the specific t herapeuti c needs as dete rmined by your d octor,
audiologist or hearing healthcare professional.
Your doctor, audiologist or hearing healthcare professional can modulate the generated noise with the
purpose of ma king it more pl easant. The n oise can the n resemble, for ex ample, crashing waves on a sho re.
Modulation l evel and spee d can also be c onfigured to your likes and need s. An addition al feature can b e
enabled by your hearing healthcare professional that allows you to select predefined sounds that simulate
sounds from n ature, such as bre aking waves or r unning water.
If you have two wire less hear ing aids that su pport ea r-to-ear synchroni sation this fu nctionality can be enabled by your hearing healthcare professional. This will cause the Tinnitus Sound Generator to synchronise
the sound in both h earing aid s.
If your tinnitus troubles you only in quiet environments, your doctor, audiologist or hearing healthcare professiona l can set the TSG Module so that it be comes audi ble exclusivel y in such surro undings. Th e overall
sound level can be adjusted via an optional volume control. Your doctor, audiologist or hearing healthcare
profession al will review w ith you the need fo r having such a c ontrol.
For hearing aids where ear to ear synchro nisation is enabled your hearing hea lthcare profe ssional ca n also
enable environmental monitoring synchronisation so that the TSG noise level is automatically adjusted simultaneo usly in both hea ring aids de pendent o n the background sound level. Additionally if th e hearing ai d
has a volume co ntrol then the bac kground noise l evel monitored by th e hearing a id and the volum e control
can be used simultaneo usly to adjust th e generated no ise level in both hearing aid s.
TSG volume control
The sound generator is set to a specific loudness level by the hearing healthcare professional. When switching the sound generator on, the vol ume will have thi s optimal setti ng. Therefore, it m ight not be nec essar y
to control the volume (loudness) manually. However, the volume control provides the ability to adjust the
volume, or amou nt of stimulus, to the l iking of the use r.
44 45
Using TSG with smar t phone apps
The tinnitus sound generator control via hearing aid push buttons can be enhanced with wireless control
from a TSG control app on a smart phone or mobile device. This functionality is available in supported
hearing aids when a hearing healthcare professional has enabled the TSG functionality during fitting of the
hearing aid.
To use smart phone apps the hearing aid must be connected with the smart phone or mobile device.
The scientific concepts that form the basis for the device
The TSG modul e provides sou nd enrichm ent with the aim of surroundin g the tinnitus sound with a neu tral
sound whic h is easily ignored. Sound enrichment i s an impor tant compon ent of most approaches to tinnitus management, such as Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT). To assist habituation to tinnitus, this needs
to be audible. Th e ideal level of th e TSG module, the refore, should be s et so that it star ts to blend wit h the
tinnitus, and s o that you can hea r both your tinnitus as well as the so und used.
In a majorit y of instance s, the TSG module c an also be set to ma sk the tinnitus s ound, so to provide te mporary relief by introducing a more pleasant and controllable sound source.

• Children an d physicall y or mentally c hallenge d users will r equire guard ian super vision while wearin g the
TSG hearing instrument.
• The volume co ntrol is an option al feature in the TS G module used for adjusting th e sound gene rator
output level. To prevent uni ntended usage by pediatric o r physicall y or mentally challenged users, the
volume contro l must, if enabl ed, be configured to only provide a d ecrease of the sound gene rator output
level.

Important notice for prospective hearing aid users (US Only)
Good health practice req uires that a per son with a hea ring loss have a m edical eval uation by a licen sed
physician ( preferably a p hysician wh o specializes in disease s of the ear) before purchasing a hearing ai d.
Licensed physicians w ho special ize in disease s of the ear are of ten referred to as otolaryng ologists, otolo gists or otorhin olaryn gologists. T he purpose of m edical eval uation is to assur e that all medic ally treata ble
condition s that may affec t hearing a re identified a nd treated before t he hearing a id is purchas ed.
Following the m edical evaluation, the phys ician will give you a writ ten statement that states that you r hearing
loss has bee n medically evaluated a nd that you may be considered a c andidate for a hearing aid. T he physician will refe r you to an audiolo gist or a hear ing aid dispenser, as appropriate, for a hearing a id evaluation.
The audiol ogist or hea ring aid disp enser will c onduct a hea ring aid eval uation to asses s your abilit y to
hear with an d without a hea ring aid. The hearing ai d evaluation wi ll enable the a udiologis t or dispenser to
select and fit a hearing a id to your indivi dual needs. I f you have reser vations abou t your abilit y to adapt to
amplification, you should inquire about the availabili ty of a trial-re ntal or purch ase-option p rogramme. Ma ny
hearing aid dispense rs now offer p rogrammes that permit you to we ar a hearing aid for a perio d of time for
a nominal fee a fter which yo u may decide if yo u want to purchase t he hearing a id.
Federal law re stricts the sa le of hearing aids to those indi viduals wh o have obtained a m edical evaluation
from a licens ed physician. Federal law p ermits a fully informe d adult to sign a waiver statement de clining the
medical evaluation for religious or personal beliefs that preclude consultation with a physician. The exercise
of such a waiver is not in your best he alth interest a nd its use is strongly discou raged.
Children with hearing loss (US Only)
In addition to se eing a physici an for a medic al evaluation, a child with a hea ring loss sh ould be direc ted to
an audiologist for evaluation and rehabilitation since hearing loss may cause problems in language development and the ed ucational a nd social grow th of a child. An audiologist is qualifie d by training and experience
to assist in the eva luation and re habilitati on of a child with a h earing los s.
