Getting Started
Installing ReSound Unite TV
Depending on your TV, HiFi stereo, Computer or other audio set­up, the installation for ReSound Unite TV may differ. The following steps will guide you through the pairing and connecting process, which can be easily accomplished by almost anyone. Start with connecting the cables and finish by pairing ReSound Unite TV to your hearing instruments.

Note: With this installation, most TVs will send sound to
both hearing instruments and speakers simultaneously.
On some TVs you can adjust the balance between the AUDIO OUT and the speakers – consult your TV manual for instructions.

Note: The HEADPHONE output terminal is usually located on the side or front of the TV. When using the HEAD-
PHONE terminal, usually only the person wearing the hearing instruments will hear the sound, and the TV speakers are muted. If it is not desired that speakers are muted, please refer to the first installation, or the one below for the scart adapter. Your TV may support speakers and HEADPHONE being on simul­taneously, check your TV manual for instructions.

Pairing to your hearing instruments
Note! The following information is intended primarily for your hearing care professional, who in most cases
will complete the tasks that are necessary before the ReSound Unite TV can be used with your hearing instruments. However, the process is designed to be simple and should be easily accomplished by almost anyone.
Pairing is the process of setting up an exclusive communication between your hearing instruments and your ReSound Unite TV. Your hearing care professional can set up pairing during the fitting of your hearing instruments. Alternatively, you can follow the be­low steps to pair your hearing instruments to ReSound Unite TV:
1. Make sure ReSound Unite TV is plugged into a wall socket
and that the green power light is ON. Your hearing instruments must be off – open the battery door.
2. Press the pairing button on ReSound Unite TV (5 on page 8)
one time. This will activate the amber activity light (10 on page
9) indicating that pairing mode has been activated. Also, chan­nel indicator light number 1 (8 on page 9) will be turned on when the pairing button has been pressed only once. Pairing mode will be activated for 20 seconds.

Pairing to a 2nd or 3rd ReSound Unite TV unit
It is possible to pair up to three ReSound Unite TV units with a given pair of hearing instruments. To pair a second ReSound Unite TV, press the pairing button of the second unit two times, which will illuminate the channel indicator (8 on page 9) at number 2, and then close the battery doors on the hearing instruments. A third ReSound Unite TV unit can be paired by pressing the pairing button three times and completing the procedure as described above.

Start and stop streaming
1. Press and hold the push button on either hearing instrument for about three seconds. This must be done separately on both hearing instruments in order to hear streamed audio in both ears. Once ReSound Unite TV has been connected, an audible melody will play in your hearing instruments and will be followed by the streamed sound.
2. If you have a ReSound Unite Remote Control (optional), simply press the Unite TV button. Doing so will briefly show a search icon in the remote control display. Once the hearing instru­ments connect to ReSound Unite TV, a short melody will be played in both ears to confirm the presence of streamed audio and a streaming icon will appear in the display. The streamed sound can now be heard in your hearing instruments.
Start streaming on a 2nd or 3rd ReSound Unite TV unit
If more than one ReSound Unite TV device is available, you may press the Unite TV button on the Remote Control a 2nd or 3rd time, depending on which Unite TV device you want to hear from.

The up to 3 Unite TV units are initially labeled by letter designa­tor A, B or C, and the Unite TV in use is shown on the Remote Control display.

Stop streaming
• Shortly press the push button on either hearing instrument. This will cancel streaming on the side pressed and return to the last program used.
• With the ReSound Unite Remote Control (optional) you just have to press the “P” button, located in the center of the key pad. This will return the hearing instruments to the last pro­gram used. You may also press the home button to return to your default settings.
• If you are using the telephone with ReSound Unite Phone Clip or PhoneNow™, streaming of ReSound Unite TV will be temporarily disrupted. When you have ended your phone call, streaming will resume.
Note! You may get out of range (>7m) from your ReSound Unite TV station. If you get back in range within 5 minutes, your hearing instruments will automatically reconnect and continue streaming.
Controls
Adjust volume
ReSound Unite TV has been designed to provide a comfortable listening level from the moment it is activated. However, for some devices or listening environments it may be desirable to adjust the
17358900-GB-11.03 Rev.D.indd 22
15-09-2011 11:22:58
Page 23
23
listening volume, and doing so can be accomplished in a vari­ety of ways. Keep in mind that volume adjustments apply to the streamed signal only, not the volume of normal environmental sounds.
• Use the “+” and “-“ keys (6 and 7 on page 9) to adjust volume to a comfortable level. Make sure that your hearing instruments are comfortably adjusted before you change the settings with the volume control. In most cases this adjustment should only be made one time, as Resound Unite TV is intended as a “set and forget” type of device.
• Use the ReSound Unite Remote Control (optional) to adjust the streaming volume in the hearing instrument. Ask your hearing care professional for more information about this accessory.
• The volume can in some cases be further adjusted at the signal source, for example by turning the TV itself down. In many cases this will adjust the volume of both streamed audio (transmitted wirelessly to your hearing instruments) and non­streamed audio (sounds reaching the hearing instrument microphones in the normal fashion). Of course, this will also affect listening volume for others in the room.

Mono / Stereo control
A two-position slide switch (1 on page 8) may be used to set Stereo (two channel) or Mono (one channel) audio streaming. For binaural fittings, the switch should preferably be set to Stereo. For monaural fittings it should be set to the Mono position.
