Low Battery Warning
The hearing instrument has a soft low-battery-warning signal
(beep-beep) that you will hear when the battery voltage/power
gets too low. The signal indicates you should replace the battery. We recommend that you always carry a spare battery with
you. The battery-warning signal will be repeated every 5-10 minutes until the battery runs out of power. The instrument will
then automatically turn off.
Changing the Battery
Open the battery compartment
completely, using your fingernail to pull back on the small
ridge located at the top of the
door. After removing the old
battery, insert the new one with
the“+” (flat) side facing the “+”
on the battery door. Make sure
the battery has been placed
correctly into the slot.
Instrument type Battery type
- MA50-P, MA3T50-P, MA2T50-P 13 zinc-air
- MA30, MA30-P, MA2T30-P, MA1T30-P 312 zinc-air
- MA10-P, MA1T10-P, MA2T10-P 10A zinc-air
Please note that if the battery is weak, the hearing instrument
performance will be reduced. Removing the battery when you
are not wearing the instrument will help prevent corrosion of
the battery contacts and prolong battery life.
Battery Warning Information

environment.
• Do NOT attempt to recharge batteries which are not specifically designated rechargeable as they may leak or explode.
• Do NOT attempt to dispose of batteries by burning them.
• Keep batteries away from small children and pets.

Inserting your instrument
To insert the hearing instrument
into your ear:
1. Grip the instrument with your
thumb and forefinger, either
above, below or on the sides
of the hearing instrument
(as shown).
The hearing instrument will have
a blue (left ear) or red (right ear)
coloured dot to indi cate which
ear it fits. Please make sure that
this dot points upwards on the
CIC when insert ed into the ear
(see more on this on page 10).
2. Place the sound outlet portion
into your ear canal.
3. Insert the hearing instrument carefully with a slight “corkscrew” motion.
By experimenting, you may find a method that is easier for you.
When properly inserted, the instrument should fit comfortably
and snugly in your ear. It is important that the custom shell fits
correctly into your ear. If your hearing instrument irritates your
ear in any way and prevents you from wearing your hearing
instrument, please contact your hearing care professional to
have the custom shell modified. You should never attempt to
modify the shape of the custom shell yourself.
Removing your instrument
To remove the hearing instrument:
1. Gently massage behind your
earlobe with an upward and
downward motion to dislodge
the instrument.
2. By experimenting, you may find
a method that is easier for you. Consult your hearing care
professional if you have difficulty removing the hearing instrument.
3. The CIC hearing instrument will have a removal cord
attached to it as it is smaller.
10 11
Recognising left and right instrument
Your hearing instrument is custom-made to fit your ear. Therefore, right and left instruments differ in shape.
Your hearing instrument is marked with either a left or right indication:
• A left instrument has a blue wax guard or blue dot;
• A right instrument has a red wax guard or red dot.
This is easy to remember: Red = Right.
The colour dot must point upwards on the CIC instruments
when inserted into the ear.
Do not switch your hearing instruments. Please ensure you are
inserting the correct instrument into your ear.
Volume Control
There is a control on each hearing
instrument that enables you to increase or decrease the volume. The
control style will vary depending
on the hearing instrument model.
CIC
The volume control is located in the
red trimmer on your CIC instrument.
To increase the volume in your CIC instrument, use a small screw
driver, or similar device, to turn the trimmer counter-clockwise.
To decrease the volume, turn the trimmer clockwise.
ITC & ITE
A circular volume control is located on the ITC and ITE hearing
instruments Use your index finger to press on the control.
To increase the volume with the instrument fit to your ear, turn
the volume control wheel clockwise (towards the front of your
head). To reduce the volume, turn the volume control wheel
counter-clockwise (towards the back of your head.).
Please note that your instrument has been fit by your hearing
care professional and that your hearing loss requires a certain
amount of amplification. This will also effect how much you are
able to increase the volume on your instrument.
12 13
Pre-set Control (Trimmers)
Pre-set controls (Trimmers) are placed on top of your CIC, ITC or
ITE instrument (see illustrations on page 4 & 5) and will help your
hearing care professional adjust the setting of your hearing instrument according to the individual characteristics of your
particular hearing loss.
The pre-set controls will have been adjusted by your hearing
care professional during your fitting session.
The control settings should therefore NOT BE ALTERED or readjusted except by your hearing care professional.
Trimmer description
The 3 optional trimmers are color-coded. Each of these trimmers has adjustments on it that can be used to customize the
hearing instrument for your particular hearing loss.
Green Low frequency Adjustment for low pitched sounds
Trimmer control for improved speech clarity
Black MPO Control Adjustment for the loudness of sounds
Trimmer for improved sound comfort.
Yellow High frequency Adjustment for high pitched sounds to
Trimmer control eliminate feedback in your instrument
and /or tinny sounds.
Trimmers available in ReSound Match custom family
The options available on your custom product will vary depending on the ReSound Match model you purchased. Your hearing
care professional will select the appropriate trimmers based on
your hearing loss.
Below you will find an overview of the various options available
for each hearing instrument model:

Telephone use
Using the telephone, while wearing
your hearing instrument, may require some practice. Many hearing
instruments will whistle when the
phone is held up against them.
Place the telephone receiver as
shown in the drawing. If you hear a “whistle” sound, try moving
the telephone receiver so it is not touching the hearing aid.
16 17
Daily Maintenance
Keep your hearing instrument clean
and dry. Wipe the case with a soft
cloth/brush or tissue after use to
remove oil or moisture. If the instrument has been exposed to high humidity or perspiration, enclose it in a sealed container together
with a drying agent (desiccant) overnight. Consult with your
hearing care professional regarding which drying agent to use.
To avoid the need for unwarranted repairs:
• Never immerse the instrument in
water or other liquids since this
may cause permanent damage
to the circuitry.
• Protect your hearing instrument
from rough handling, and avoid
dropping it on hard surfaces or
floors.
• Do not leave the instrument in or near direct heat or sunlight
since excessive heat can damage the instrument or deform
the casing.
Cleaning the Microphone Sound Inlet
For proper function of the microphone, it is important to clean
the sound inlet to remove dust, ear wax or other debris. The soft
brush, provided with your hearing instrument, can be used for
this purpose. Consult your hearing care professional regarding
proper use of the tool.
Changing the Sound Outlet Filter/Cleaning the Sound Outlet
Your ReSound Match hearing instrument may be equipped with
a sound outlet filter (consult your hearing care professional).
This filter is located at the end of the sound outlet and prevents
debris from getting into the hearing instrument. If the hearing
instrument seems to have lost power and changing the battery
does not help, the filter may be blocked, and need to be changed. Your hearing care professional can instruct you on how to
change the filter. If your hearing instrument does not have a filter, ear wax and/or other debris may collect in the sound channel. The cleaning loop, provided with your hearing instrument,
can easily be used to remove this material. Your hearing care
professional can instruct you on how to properly use this tool.
When using this tool, be careful not to damage or pull the tubing placed at the opening of the sound outlet. If this is pulled
out, the hearing instrument may need to be returned for repair.
Repairs
If your GN ReSound hearing instrument malfunctions, it must
be repaired by a qualified technician. Do not attempt to open
the case of the hearing instrument since this would invalidate
the warranty. If your GN ReSound hearing instrument requires
service, please contact your hearing care professional for assistance.

General Precautions
• Consult a physician if you find a foreign object in your ear
canal, if you experience skin irritation or if excessive earwax
accumulates with the use of the hearing instrument.
• Different types of radiation, e.g. from NMR, MRI or CT scan-
ners, may damage the hearing instrument. Therefore, do not
wear the hearing instrument during these or other corresponding scanning procedures. Other types of radiation (burglar
alarms, room surveillance systems, radio equipment, mobile
telephones, etc) contain less energy and will not damage the
hearing instrument. They could however momentarily affect
the sound quality or create strange sounds from the hearing
instruments.
• Warning: Do not wear the hearing instrument in mines or
other explosive areas, unless those areas are certified for
hearing instrument use.
