Off i Tip: The DAI boot or integrated FM must be removed before battery door will open. SmartStart Hearing instruments can be turned on once you have placed them on your ears.
Inserting/Removing hearing instruments Removal (custom earmolds) Insertion (custom earmoulds) 1. Hold a portion of your earmould towards the back of the ear. 2. Pull the earmould outward and simultaneously rotate the earmould forward. 3. Consult your hearing care professional if you have difficulties removing the hearing instrument. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Hold the earmould between your thumb and index finger and position its sound outlet in your ear canal.
Sports lock Programme button The Sports lock will be applied or adjusted by your hearing care professional. Depending on your experience level with hearing instruments, individual hearing needs, and the type of listening environments you experience, your hearing care professional may activate additional programmes. If additional programmes have been activated, the following list explains how they work.
If you have two hearing instruments with the synchronization function enabled, program changes to one instrument will automatically repeat in the second instrument. When a program change is made in one instrument, you will hear the same amount of confirmation beeps in the second instrument. LED Indicator (optional) Some paediatric hearing instruments are equipped with a visual indicator which blinks to show the instrument status.
For Alera wireless hearing instruments follow the following steps to enter and leave flight mode: It is possible to disable wireless operation by opening and closing the battery compartment of the hearing instrument while at the same time pressing the push button. When disabled manually, wireless operation may be re-enabled by opening and closing the battery compartment normally, (i.e. without at the same time pressing the push button).
If you find it difficult to obtain a good result while using your cellular phone, your hearing care professional will be able to give you advice on available accessories to enhance listening capabilities. If you have two hearing instruments with the synchronization function enabled, the volume of hearing instrument on the non-phone ear will be turned down.
Telecoil (optional) A telecoil can be activated by your hearing care professional and accessed through one of the additional 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, the receiver of the telephone may need to be held closer to the hearing instrument.
i Important points for FM • Do not use two transmitters on the same FM channel. • Do not use water or fluids for cleaning FM boot. • Do not use an FM transmitter in locations where it is forbidden to use electronic devices, for instance in airplanes. • Be aware that FM signals might also be picked up and overheard by other receivers. • Before using the system in another country, contact your hearing care professional to make sure your radio channel is permitted in that country.

ReSound Tulip domes Tulip domes are mounted in a similar manner to standard domes, but a few extra steps are required. Tulip domes consist of two “petals”. It is important to note that the largest petal is the outermost petal. To ensure this: 1. Push the largest petal away from the thin tube using a finger. This bends the petal forward. 2. Then push the largest petal back, and it will be placed on top of the smaller petal.
3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. contain less energy and will not damage hearing instruments. However, they have the potential to momentarily affect the sound quality or temporarily create strange sounds from hearing instruments.

This may cause damage to the hearing instruments or to the hearing of the other individual.
If your tinnitus troubles you only in quiet environments, your doctor, audiologist or hearing healthcare professional can set the TSG Module so that it becomes audible exclusively in such surroundings. The overall sound level can be adjusted via an optional volume control. Your doctor, audiologist or hearing healthcare professional will review with you the need for having such a control. TSG volume control The sound generator is set to a specific loudness level by the hearing healthcare professional.
Prescription use of this TSG hearing instrument The TSG module should be used as prescribed by your doctor, audiologist or hearing healthcare professional. In order to avoid permanent hearing damages, the maximum daily usage depends on the level of the generated sound.
i Battery warning information Batteries, although very small, contain dangerous substances, and should be disposed of carefully. This is for the safety of you and the environment. Please note: 1. Do not attempt to recharge batteries (Zinc Air) which are not specifically designated as rechargeable because they may leak or explode. 2. DO NOT attempt to dispose of batteries by burning them.
