ReSound metrix BTE instruments are all equipped with a telecoil in their standard version. Directionality The ReSound instrument is equipped with two micro phones and thus offers adaptive directionality. That is a function which enables better speech understanding in noisy situations.
On/Off Function your ReSound BTE is equipped with an on/off switch inte- grated into the battery compartment. When the battery compartment is fully closed, the instrument is turned on in its functional mode and programme 1 will be activated. Par- tially open the battery door until it snaps into the off-position.
Direct Audio Input (DAI) The ReSound mini BTE and BTE models 70-DI, 70-DVI and 80-DVI offer you the possibility of direct, undisturbed connection to facilities such as television, radio and remote microphone via the Direct Audio Input socket. Often, this will improve sound quality.

Inserting and removing the instrument ( - with ear mould) Inserting the instrument • With the battery door opened in the off position take the ear mould between thumb and index finger and position its ‘point’ in your ear canal. Now, slide the ear mould all the way into your ear with a gentle, twist- ing movement.
Inserting and removing the instrument (with FlexTubeThin Tube) Inserting the instrument • Hang the instrument over the top of the ear. • Grasp the FlexTube/Thin Tube where it bends and push the dome into your ear canal. dome should be placed far enough into the ear that the sound tube lies flush with your head.
Changing the Battery Open the battery compartment by turning the instrument off, and then using your fingernail to open it completely. After removing the old battery, insert the new one with the “+” (flat) side facing the “+” on the battery door. It should fit in like a puzzle piece.
Battery Warning Information Batteries contain dangerous substances and should be disposed of carefully in the interest of your safety and for the environment. • Do NOT attempt to recharge batteries which are not specifically designated rechargeable as they may leak or explode.
Daily maintenance Keep your hearing instrument clean and dry. Wipe the case with a soft cloth or tissue after use to remove grease or moisture. If the instrument has been exposed to high humidity or perspiration, enclose it (with the ear mould) in a sealed container together with a drying agent (dessicator) overnight.
Cleaning the Ear mould and replacing Sound Outlet Filter The ear mould should be cleaned regularly. Remove the ear mould and the silicone tubing from the hearing instrument before you clean it. lukewarm water should be enough to clean wax off the ear mould. If ear wax is stuck in the sound canal of the ear mould, the cleaning loop or a syringe with lukewarm water can easily be used to “push”...

Cleaning the FlexTube/Thin Tube and dome The FlexTube/Thin Tube feeds the amplified sound from the hearing instrument into the ear. It is important that the FlexTube/Thin Tube and the dome fit correctly into your ear. If the FlexTube/Thin Tube or the dome irritate your ear in any way and prevent you from wearing your hearing instru- ment, please contact your hearing care professional.

How to mount the Standard Dome We recommend that your hearing care professional changes the dome for you, since failure to change the domes in accordance with the instructions could result in injury. If you choose to change the dome yourself: 1.
Page 25
The Tulip-Dome should be directed with the sound outlet hole facing either down towards your shoulders or up towards your hair. (3) The sound outlet hole can turn both ways; the direction of the sound outlet hole affects the length of the sound tube according to the entrance of your ear canal.
Telephone Use your hearing instrument is equipped with an induction coil (telecoil) which picks up magnetic emanations from a hear- ing instrument compatible telephone. your hearing care professional can activate the telecoil. By selecting the tel- ecoil programme, the hearing instrument will only pick up the sounds coming from the telephone.
Do not attempt to open the case of the hearing instrument since this would invalidate the warranty. If your ReSound hearing instrument requires service, please contact your hearing care profes- sional for assistance.
