Replacing the battery Handle the battery cover gently and do not use excessive force. Do not try to open the cover further than shown on the drawing. If there is any resistance when closing the cover, ensure that the battery is correctly inserted. The cover will not close if the battery is inserted upside down.
Preparation Inserting Una into your ear If possible, select the mute mode (see page 15) before insertion, to avoid whistling. Alternatively, your hearing care professional may have activated a delayed start-up timer. This function delays the activation of the hearing system (for 9 or 15 seconds) after the battery door was closed.

Page 15
Note Switching Una ON / OFF with volume control see page 16 Your hearing care professional may have delayed the activation of your Una hearing system after switching ON (9 or 15 seconds), in order to avoid any disturbance when placing it in your ear. The activation is confirmed by an acoustic signal.
Operation Controlling the volume (optional) and switching ON / OFF (with volume control) left right down down Increase volume Turn the volume control forwards. Reduce volume Turn the volume control backwards. Note A single beep indicates the default volume setting.
Switching ON Turn the volume control forwards slightly for both left and right ears until a “click” is felt. Wait for about two seconds until the instrument powers-up, then set the volume as desired. Switching OFF Turn the volume control backwards until a “click” is felt.
Telecoil (T-coil) (optional) Your hearing care professional may have activated a T-coil in your Una hearing systems. The programs with T-coil are used with telephones that are compatible with hearing systems or with induction loop systems (present in some school settings, theaters,...
(optional) The EasyPhone plus function enables your Una hearing system to automatically select your telephone program when the telephone handset is held close to your ear. An acoustic signal confirms the switching. It automatically returns to the previous hearing program when the telephone handset is removed from your ear.

Operation Fixing the EasyPhone plus magnet Clean the telephone handset thoroughly. Hold the telephone handset nearly vertically, similar to making a telephone call. Hold the magnet near to the “listening end” of your telephone handset and release it. The magnet will automatically flip to the correct side at the right location.

Use of EasyPhone plus Use the telephone in a normal manner. At the beginning, you may need to move it slightly to find the optimum position for reliable switching and comfortable hearing. If necessary, move the magnet to another position on the handset to increase your comfort of use.
