Low Battery Indicator; Inserting/Removing Hearing Instruments - ReSound PH13 User Manual

Low battery indicator

Your hearing care professional can activate a low battery indicator in your hearing instruments. The hear-
ing instrument will reduce amplification and emit a beep signal if battery power gets too low. This signal will
recur every five minutes until the hearing instrument automatically switches off. The low battery indicator
can vary slightly, depending on the type of battery used. It is recommended that you keep spare batteries
on hand.
Low battery indicator (instruments paired with accessories only)
Active usage of the ReSound Unite accessories (Remote Control, Phone Clip, TV Streamer and Mini
Microphone) requires more battery power from the hearing instruments than when these are working
without accessories which means that battery life is highly dependent on the amount of wireless acces-
sory usage. When the battery in the hearing instrument has depleted to a level at which use of the ReSound
Unite TV Streamer, Phone Clip and Mini Microphone cannot be supported, the hearing instrument will play
two sets of descending tones. After this, your hearing instrument and ReSound Unite Remote Control will
continue to work as usual, but you will not be able to use your ReSound Unite TV Streamer, Phone Clip
and Mini Microphone. At some point the battery level will also be too low to support the remote control as
well and you will once again hear the descending tones. The hearing instruments will continue to work as
usual. Once a new battery is inserted, full operation of the accessories will resume.

inserting/removing hearing instruments

Insertion (remote microphone)
1. Hold the hearing instrument between your thumb and index finger,
either above and below or on the sides.
2. Place the sound outlet portion into your ear canal. Turn the top part of
the earmould gently backwards and forwards so that it tucks behind
the fold of skin above your ear canal.
3. Insert the hearing instrument into your ear canal. Opening and closing
your mouth may ease insertion.
4. Gently push the microphone into the creased area of the ear that is
located above the microphone entrance, and make sure the tubing is
in place.
