with accessories)
deactivated, as hearing instruments are not allowed
to transmit radio signals during flights. Flight Mode al-
lows you to suspend wireless operation while other-
wise maintaining full functionality of your hearing in-
HOW TO USE THE HEARING
INSTRUMENT
On/Off function
Your ReSound Alera hear-
ing instrument is equipped
with an on/off switch in-
tegrated into the battery
door.
• When the battery door
is fully closed, the in-
strument is turned on
and Program 1 will be
activated.
• To turn the instrument off, open the battery door.
TIP: Whenever you are not using the instrument,
remember to turn it off to reduce battery con-
sumption.
Generally, people prefer to turn on the hearing instru-
ment after it is placed behind the ear and the dome
or earmold is inserted into the ear. If you would like
to turn on the instrument before placing it on your ear,
your hearing healthcare professional can activate the
SmartStart™ function.
SmartStart™
SmartStart™ allows you to insert the instrument into
the ear without annoying, squealing sounds. Starting
when the battery door is closed, it delays the activa-
tion of the hearing instrument for ten seconds. During
this 10-second period you will hear a series of single
beeps.
What you need to know
Inserting/Replacing the Battery:
1. Open the battery
door (C)
completely
by using
your fingertip.
2. Remove protective sticker from
battery and wait 2 minutes before
inserting the
battery into the
hearing aid to
allow full activation of the battery.
3. Insert the new battery
with the positive
side (flat side) in
the correct
position, as shown.
4. Gently close the battery door. If it
doesn’t close easily, check to see
if the battery is upside down.
