Stand-By Function; Telephone Use - ReSound CIC User Manual

stand-by function

Some individuals may find that they would like the hearing instruments muted in certain
situations while wearing them. Your hearing care professional can activate a stand-by function
in your hearing instruments, which causes them to not process or amplify sound. The stand-by
function can be accessed by pressing and holding the programme button for five seconds. A
series of beeps will be presented prior to activation of the stand-by function. To return to the
default programme and de-activate the stand-by function, press the programme button once
(this is possible after at least five seconds in the stand-by mode).

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, holding the tele phone in the same position may
help the hearing instrument to adapt.
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 programme specifically for telephone use.
