Hold the phone close to the front microphone of the
hearing instrument, but not directly on it. If there is
feedback, it may take a few seconds for the instrument
to adapt.
Using the telephone, while wearing your hearing
instrument, may require some practice.
Cell phone
If you use a cell phone you may experience a buzzing
or clicking noise. This is caused by a strong signal
generated by the cell phone. Consult with your hear-
ing healthcare professional to see if there are options
to improve the sound quality.
STAND-BY MODE (SELECT MODELS)
In stand-by mode, your hearing instrument is muted.
Because there is a small drain on the battery while in
stand-by mode, this is not equivalent to turning off
the instrument.
To put your instrument in stand-by mode, press and
hold the program selector for fi ve seconds. You will
hear a series of beeps and stand-by mode will be
activated. To return to standard mode, press the
program selector once. Always allow at least fi ve sec-
onds before reactivating the hearing instrument once
stand-by mode has been engaged.
TELEPHONE USE (TELECOIL OPTIONAL)
Your ReSound BTE hearing instrument may be
equipped with an induction coil (telecoil), which picks
up magnetic signals from a Hearing Aid Compatible
telephone. If you have a telecoil, your hearing health-
care professional can activate it. By selecting the
telecoil program, the hearing instrument will only pick
up the sounds coming from the telephone.
When using the telecoil program, the receiver of the
telephone should be held as shown in the accom-
panying illustration. You may need to reposition the
handset slightly to fi nd the best reception.
If you do not have or do not wish to use a telecoil
program, you may still use the phone while wearing
your hearing instrument. Many hearing instruments
will whistle (feedback) when in close proximity to a
telephone. To reduce the potential for this problem,
your hearing instrument is equipped with an adaptive
digital feedback suppression system which greatly
reduces the chance of feedback in this scenario.
