Getting started

On/Off function

1. When the battery door is closed, the hearing instrument turns on,

and the default program will be activ ated.

2. To turn off the hearing instrument, open the battery door. Many

individuals can use their ﬁngernail to pull it open.

Tip: Whenever the hearing instruments are not in use,

remember to turn them off to avoid unnecessary battery

consumption.

SmartStart

Hearing instruments can be turned on once you have placed them on your ears. If you prefer to

turn them on just prior to placing them on your ear, your hearing care professional can activate a

function called SmartStart.

This function will delay the time in which the hearing instruments turn on by ten seconds after the

battery compartment is closed. This reduces the risk that the hearing instruments will whistle while

you put them on. With SmartStart, a beep will be heard for each second of the delay period.

Battery door lock

Your hearing care professional can install a Left/Right side indicator (Blue=Left,

Red=Right), which can be used to lock the battery door. Once locked, the

instrument can only be turned off once the instrument is unlocked.

To lock the battery door:

1. Close the battery door

2. Using the battery door locking tool, slide the color marker to the right.

To unlock the battery door: Slide the color marker to the left.

Inserting/Replacing the battery

1. Open the battery door completely by using your ﬁngernail.

2. Remove the used battery if present. Insert the new battery with the positive side

in the correct position. The battery door has a ‘+’ indicator to help determine the correct

insertion.

3. Always use new Zinc-Air batteries that have a minimum remaining shelf-life of 1 year.

4. Gently close the battery door.

Tip: When the hearing instruments are not in use for an extended period of time, remov-

ing the batteries may help prevent corrosion of the battery compartment, and ensure

that battery life is not shortened.

Unlock Lock

Low battery indicator

Your hearing care professional can set your hearing instrument to give an acoustical indica-

tion when the battery is reaching its end of life. The hearing instrument will reduce ampliﬁca-

tion and emit a melody if battery power gets too low. This signal will recur every 5 minutes for

VE60/62/70/77/80/88 models, and every 15 minutes for MG90, until the hearing instrument

automatically switches off. It is recommended that you keep spare batteries on hand.

Inserting/Removing hearing instruments

Insertion (custom earmoulds)

1. Hold the earmould between your thumb and index ﬁnger and position its

sound outlet in your ear canal.

2. Slide the earmould all the way into your ear with a gentle, twisting movement.

3. Turn the top part of the earmould gently backwards and forwards so that it

tucks behind the fold of skin above your ear canal.

4. Move the earmould up and down and gently press to ensure it is positioned

correctly in the ear. Opening and closing your mouth can ease insertion.

5. Make sure the hearing instrument is seated behind the ear.

By experimenting, an easier method may be discovered. With proper insertion, hearing instru-

ments should ﬁt snugly but comfortably. If hearing instruments cause irritation of the ears, con-

tact your hearing care professional. Never attempt to modify the shape of the hearing instru-

ment, earmoulds, or tubing yourself.

Tip: It may be helpful to pull your ear up and outward with your opposite hand during

insertion.

Insertion (domes)

1. Hold the thin tube where it bends, and gently push the dome into the ear canal. Push the

dome far enough into the ear canal so that the thin tube lies ﬂush with the head.

2. It is important that the tube and the dome ﬁt correctly into your ear.

3. When the dome is placed correctly, you should not be able to see the thin tube sticking out

when facing a mirror.

Note: You should never

attempt to bend or modify

the shape of the thin tube.

Removal (custom earmolds)

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 instru-

ment.

Removal (domes)

1. Hold the thin tube with your thumb and foreﬁnger and pull the

tube outward.

2. Consult your hearing care professional if you have difﬁculties

removing the hearing instrument.

Operation of the hearing instrument

Volume control (in 70, 80, and 90 models)

The volume wheel has numbers on it from 1 to 4, with 4 being

the maximum volume setting. During the ﬁtting of the hear-

ing instrument, your hearing care practitioner will select an

optimal volume setting for you. Please note the setting of that

particular level. To increase the volume with the instrument ﬁt

to your ear, turn the volume control wheel up. To reduce the

volume, turn the wheel down.

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 affect how much you are

able to increase the volume on your instrument. If you want to go back to the default volume

setting, the volume control has to be set at 2,5 (between 2 and 3). If you prefer not to use the

volume wheel your hearing care practitioner can disable the volume control.

Sports lock

The Sports lock will be applied or adjusted by your hearing care professional.

Volume control (in 62, 77, 88 models)

The volume control will allow the volume of hearing instruments

to be increased or decreased.

1. To increase the volume, push the volume control up.

2. To decrease the volume, push the volume control down.

When volume is increased or decreased, a beep signal will be

heard for each incremental change. When the upper or lower

limits of the volume range are reached, a beep signal with a

longer duration will be heard.

Your hearing care professional can disable the volume control function if it is not desired. The

volume control can also be replaced with a non-functional cover.

Programme button

Depending on your experience level with hearing instruments, in-

dividual 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.

1. You can switch between programmes by pushing the programme button once.

2. You will then hear one or more beeps. The number of beeps indicates which programme

you have selected (one beep = programme one, two beeps = programme two, etc.).

3. When the hearing instruments are turned off and then back on, the hearing instrument

always returns to the default setting (programme one).

The multifunction button (62 models only) is designed to change the volume or listening pro-

grams of the hearing instrument, based on different ways it is pressed.

If necessary, your hearing care practitioner can change these settings and ﬁll in the following

table to indicate new settings

Multi-function button action Default setting New setting

Short press up Increases volume

Short press down Decreases volume

Long press up (3 seconds) Changes programs

Programme Description of when to use

Telephone use

Finding the optimal position for holding a telephone may require practice

for some individuals, and one or more of the following suggestions may

be helpful.

1. Hold the telephone as you would normally.

2. Hold the telephone towards the top of the ear (closer to where the

microphones are).

3. If whistling occurs, it may take a few seconds of holding the telephone

in the same position before the hearing instrument adapts.

4. Any whistling may also be decreased by holding the telephone slightly away from the ear.

5. Depending on your individual needs, your hearing care professional may activate a pro-

gramme speciﬁcally for telephone use.

Telecoil (optional)

If needed, 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 con-

verts it to sound. When using a telecoil programme, the receiver of the telephone may need to

be held closer to the hearing instrument. The handset of the telephone may need to be moved

to slightly different positions in order to ﬁnd the best reception.

PhoneNow

The PhoneNow function, available on some hearing instrument models, allows your hearing

instrument to automatically switch to your telephone program when a telephone receiver is

raised to the ear. When the telephone receiver is removed from the ear, the hearing instrument

automatically returns to the previous listening program.

Placement of PhoneNow magnets

While some telephone receivers produce a magnetic ﬁeld strong enough

to activate the Phone Now function, other telephone receivers require an

additional magnet to be placed on the tele phone receiver. In order to place

the 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 magnet just below the telephone receiver. If necessary,

move the magnet to another position to improve ease of use and

comfort while speaking.

Tip: Use only recommended cleaning agent to clean the telephone prior to placing the

magnet on the phone in order to obtain best possible adherence.

PhoneNow usage

Telephones can be used in a normal manner. A beep signal will indicate that the PhoneNow fea-

ture has automatically switched the hearing instrument to your telephone program. 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.

i PhoneNow warnings

1. Keep magnets out of reach of pets, children and mentally challenged persons. If a magnet

is swallowed, please seek advice from a medical practitioner.

2. The magnet used to supplement the magnetic ﬁeld of a telephone receiver may affect

some medical devices or electronic systems. The manufacturer of any magnetically sensi-

tive devices (e.g. pacemakers) should advise you regarding appropriate safety precautions

when using your hearing instrument and magnet in close proximity to the medical device or

electronic system in question.

If the manufacturer cannot issue a statement, we recommend keeping the magnet or a

telephone equipped with the magnet 30 cm (12”) away from magnetically sensitive devices

(e.g. pacemakers).

PhoneNow Precautions

1. High distortion during dialing or phoning may mean that the magnet is not in the optimal

position relative to the telephone receiver. To avoid the issue, please move the magnet to

another place on the telephone receiver.

2. Only use magnets supplied by GN ReSound.

Tele-loop systems

Many places, such as theatres, houses of worship, and schools are equipped with tele-loop

systems. When using a telecoil programme with tele-loop systems, sound is picked up direct-

ly. If there is no sound from the hearing instruments in a tele-loop system and with a telecoil

programme activated, the tele-loop system may not be turned on or is not operating correctly.

If a facility is not equipped with a tele-loop system, sitting as close as possible to the front may

be helpful.

Direct audio input (optional)

Use of direct audio input (DAI), which enables a direct connection of the hearing instruments to

items such as television, radio, and remote microphones, may increase speech understanding

for some individuals. The sound source is connected to the hearing instruments by a cable or a

wireless FM system to the audio boot. This accessory connects to the bottom of the hearing instru-

ments, and once properly clicked into place, the hearing instruments switch to DAI automatically.

Connecting/Disconnecting audio boots

Connecting audio boots

1. Align the tip of the audio boot with the groove just above the battery com-

partment and below the model number.

2. Once in place, move the boot in the direction of the bat-

tery compartment.

3. Gently click the audio boot onto the hearing instrument.

Disconnecting audio boots

1. Press and hold the button on the front side of the

audio booth.

2. Gently remove the audio boot from the hearing instru-

ment.

Care and maintenance

Please follow the following instructions to prolong the durability of your hearing instruments:

1. Keep your hearing instrument clean and dry. Wipe the case with a soft cloth or tissue after

use to remove grease or moisture. Do not use water or solvents, as these can damage the

hearing instrument(s).

2. Never immerse hearing instruments in water or other liquids, as liquids may cause perma-

nent damage to the hearing instruments.

3. Avoid rough handling of hearing instruments or dropping them on hard surfaces or ﬂoors.

4. Do not leave hearing instruments in or near direct heat or sunlight, such as in a hot, parked

car, as excessive heat can cause damage or deform the casing.

5. Do not wear your instrument while showering, swimming, in heavy rain or in a moist atmos-

phere such as a steam bath or sauna.

6. If your instrument does get wet, or if it has been exposed to high

humidity or perspiration, it should be left to dry out overnight with

the battery out and the battery compartment open. It is also a good

idea to put the instrument and battery in a sealed container together

with a drying agent (desiccator) overnight. Do not use the instrument

until it is completely dry. Consult your hearing care professional as to

which drying agent to use.

7. Remove your hearing instrument when applying such things as cosmetics, perfume,

aftershave, hair spray, and suntan lotion. These might get into the instrument and cause

damage.

Daily maintenance

It is important to keep your hearing instrument clean and dry. On a

daily basis, clean the hearing instruments using a soft cloth or tissue.

In order to avoid damage due to humidity or excessive perspiration, the

use of a drying kit is recommended. Some drying kits are electric, and

in addition to thoroughly drying out hearing instruments, they help sanitize.

Maintenance for BTE hearing instruments

(in 60, 70, 77, 80, 88 and 90 models)

Cleaning earmoulds

1. Remove the earmould and attached tubing from the hearing instruments

prior to cleaning.

2. Clean the earmould using a mild soap, and rinse with lukewarm water.

3. After cleaning, dry earmoulds thoroughly and remove any residual water

and debris from the tubing utilising an air bulb and wire loop.

Note: Earmould tubing may become stiff, brittle, or discoloured over time. Con-

tact your hearing care professional regarding tube changes.

Cleaning thin tubes and domes

1. Remove thin tubes from hearing instruments before cleaning by un-

screwing them counter clockwise.

2. Wipe down thin tubes and domes with a damp cloth.

3. In order to clear the thin tube of moisture and debris, push the black

cleaning rod through the thin tube, beginning at the end opposite the

dome.

Note: Thin tube and dome systems should be changed every three months

or sooner, should the components become stiff or brittle.

How to apply domes

It is recommended that your hearing care professional change domes, as incorrect dome re-

placement could result in injury.

Standard domes

1. Push the new dome over the ﬂanges on the

thin tube.

2. Make sure that the new dome is properlyly

and securely mounted.

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.

Maintenance for the RIE hearing instruments

(in 62 models)

The receiver tube

The receiver tube contains the wiring to the receiver which delivers the sound to the ear canal.

It is important that the receiver tube and the receiver dome/RIE mold ﬁts correctly in your ear.

If the receiver tube or the receiver dome/RIE mould irritates your ear in any way and prevents

you from wearing your hear ing instrument, please contact your hearing care pro fessional. You

should never attempt to modify the shape of the receiver tube yourself. The receiver tube and

the receiver dome/RIE mould should be cleaned regularly. Please see instructions in the next

section.

Cleaning the receiver tubes and domes

The receiver tube and the receiver dome should be cleaned regularly. Use a damp cloth to clean

the receiver tube and receiver dome on the outside. Do not use water when you are cleaning the

receiver tubes or the receiver domes. This process is also used to clean the UP receiver mould.

Please see instruction on page 30 or 31 for how to change the wax guard ﬁlter.

Cleaning RIE or moulds

1. Separate the mould from the receiver tube.

2. Clean the RIE mould using a mild soap, and rinse with lukewarm

water.

3. After cleaning, dry RIE moulds thoroughly and remove any

residual water and debris from the tubing utilising an air bulb and

wire loop.

wax guard straight out.

2. To insert the ne w wax guard, gently press the replacement side of the wax guard tool

straight into the hole of the sound outlet until the outer ring lies ﬂush with the outside of the

receiver. Pull the tool straight out -the new wax guard will remain in place.

How to apply domes

It is recommended that your hearing care professional change domes, as incorrect dome re-

placement could result in injury.

ReSound standard domes

1. Push the new dome over the receiver.

2. Make sure that the new dome is properly and securely mounted.

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 receiver 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.

i General precautions

1. Do not leave hearing instruments in the sun, near an open ﬁre, or in a hot, parked car.

2. Do not wear hearing instruments while showering, swimming, in heavy rain, or in a moist

atmosphere such as a steam bath or sauna.

3. Should the hearing instrument become moist, remove the battery and place the hearing

instrument in a closed container with a drying agent. Your hearing care professional can

provide options for drying containers or kits.

4. Remove the hearing instruments when applying items such as cosmetics, perfume, after-

shave, hair spray, and suntan lotion.

Temperature test, transport and storage information

GN ReSound Hearing Instruments are subjected to various tests in temperature and damp

heating cycling between -25º C (-13º F) and +70º C (+158º F) according to internal and industry

standards. During transport or storage, the temperature should not exceed the limit values of

-20º C (-4º F) to +60º C (+140º F) and relative humidity of 90% RH, non-condensing (for limited

time). The air pressure between 500 and 1100 hPa is appropriate.

i General warnings

1. If the device is broken, do not use.

2. Consult a hearing care professional if you discover a foreign object in your ear canal, if you

experience skin irritation, or if excessive ear wax accumulates with the use of the hearing

instrument.

3. Different types of radiation, from e.g. NMR, MRI, or CT scanners, may damage hearing in-

struments. It is recommended not to wear hearing instruments during these or other similar

procedures. Other types of radiation, such as burglar alarms, room surveillance systems,

radio equipment, mobile telephones, 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.

4. Do not wear hearing instruments in mines, oil ﬁelds, or other explosive areas unless those

areas are certiﬁed for hearing instrument use.

5. Do not allow others to use your hearing instruments. This may cause damage to the

hearing instruments or to the hearing of the other individual.

6. Instrument usage by children or mentally challenged persons should be supervised at

all times to ensure their safety. The hearing instrument contains small parts that could

be swallowed by children. Please be mindful not to leave children unsupervised with this

hearing instrument.

7. Hearing instruments should be used only as prescribed by your hearing care professional.

Incorrect use may result in hearing loss.

8. Warning to hearing care professionals: Special care should be exercised in selecting and

ﬁtting hearing instruments with maximum sound pressure level that exceeds 132dB SPL

with an IEC 60711:1981 occluded ear simulator. There may be a risk of impairment of the

remaining hearing.

9. External devices connected to the electrical input must be safe according to the

requirements of IEC 60601-1-1, IEC 60065, or IEC 60950-1, as appropriate.

i Battery warning information

1. Do not put batteries in your mouth, as they can be harmful if swallowed. If swallowed, seek

medical help immediately.

2. Keep batteries away from children and mentally challenged persons.

3. Remove the batteries to prevent leakage when the hearing instruments are not in use for an

extended period of time.

4. Do not attempt to recharge batteries (Zinc Air) which are not speciﬁcally designated as

rechargeable because they may leak or explode.

5. Do not attempt to dispose of batteries by burning them.

6. Used batteries are harmful to the environment. Please dispose of them according to local

regulations or return them to your hearing care practitioner.
