User Operated Controls

Volume Control

e volume control in your ReSound V instrument is fully

automatic, so there is no need to bother with adjustments. Your

instrument has been programmed to vary its amplication

according to your needs. However you have the option of de-

creasing the volume by selecting the Comfort Mode, a stan-

dard feature for more comfort in noisy environments with less

demanding speech understanding needs (in the car, in the mall).

Mode Selector

In ReSound V you have a basic programme and 3 dierent

modes. e rst mode is the Comfort Mode, and if you select

the telecoil option you have additionally the T and MT modes.

If your hearing care professional has programmed the telecoil

option with the specic modes into your instrument, you can

select the modes simply by depressing the push button. You

will then hear one or more “beeps”, indicating which mode

you have selected. Your hearing instrument will switch modes

as follows:

Example with 3 modes:

Basic programme →Comfort Mode,

Comfort Mode →MT mode,

MT mode →T mode,

T mode →Basic programme

Example with 2 modes:

Basic programme →Comfort Mode,

Comfort Mode →T or MT mode,

T or MT mode →Basic programme

Example with 1 modes:

Basic programme →Comfort Mode,

Comfort Mode →Basic programme

You can always return to the basic programme by turning your

instrument o and then on again (see “On/O Function”) or

by placing it in stand-by mode and then returning to its normal

function mode (see “Stand-by Function” on the next page).

Stand-by Function

To put the instrument into stand-by mode, hold down the

mode selector for 5 seconds. You will hear a series of beeps,

and the device is now in stand-by mode. Before returning

to functional mode, you will need to wait approximately 5

seconds. After waiting, press the mode selector down once.

Please note that the instrument is using a small amount of

power when in stand-by mode.

On/Off Function

Your ReSound V BTE (Behind-e-Ear) is equipped with

an on/o switch integrated into the battery compartment.

When the battery compartment is fully closed, the instru-

ment is turned on in its functional mode and the basic pro-

gramme will be activated. To turn the instrument o, press

the tab on the base of the instrument with your ngertip.

e battery compartment then snaps partly open and the

instrument is turned o. Whenever you are not wearing the

instrument, remember to turn it o to reduce battery con-

sumption.

Changing the Battery

When the battery voltage/power decreases to a certain level,

the instrument will stop amplifying and emit a soft beeping

signal. is signal will continue for about one minute and

then the instrument will be automatically switched o.

erefore, it is recommended that you keep a spare battery

on hand.

Open the battery compartment by turning the instrument

o, and then using your ngernail to open it completely.

After removing the old battery, insert the new one with the

“+” (at) side facing the “+” on the battery door. It should

t in like a puzzle piece. e battery door should close very

easily. Never use force to close the door as this may damage

your hearing instrument.

Always use a size 13 Zinc-Air battery. Please note that if the

battery is weak, the hearing instrument performance will be

reduced. Removing the battery when you are not wearing

the instrument will help prevent corrosion of the battery

contacts.

Battery Warning Information

Batteries contain dangerous substances and should be dis-

posed of carefully in the interest of your safety and for the

environment.

• Do NOT attempt to recharge batteries which are not

specically designated rechargeable as they may leak or

explode.

• Do NOT attempt to dispose of batteries by burning

them.

• Keep batteries away from small children and pets.

• Do NOT place batteries in your mouth.

If swallowed, see a physician immediately.

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. Consult your hearing care professional as to

which drying agent to use.

To avoid the need for unwarranted repairs:

• Never immerse the instrument in water or other liquids

since this may cause permanent damage to the circuitry.

• Protect your hearing instrument from rough handling,

and avoid dropping it on hard surfaces or oors.

• Do not leave the instrument in or near direct heat or

sunlight since excessive heat can damage the instrument

or deform the casing.
