ReSound
Future RIE
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR
(instruments
paired with accessories only)
Active usage of the ReSound accessories (remote control,
phone clip and TV streamer) requires more battery power
from the hearing instruments than when these are working
on their own. When the battery in the hearing instrument
has depleted to a level at which use of the TV Streamer and
Phone Clip cannot be supported, the hearing instrument will
play two sets of descending tones. After this, your hearing
instrument and Remote Control will continue to work as
usual, but you will not be able to use your TV Streamer and
Phone Clip. At some point the battery level will not support
the Remote Control either and you will once again hear the
descending tones. The hearing instruments will continue to
work as usual. Once a new battery is inserted, full operation
of the accessories will resume.
FLIGHT MODE
(instruments paired with
accessories only)
When boarding a flight, wireless functionality must be
deactivated, as it is not allowed to radiate radio signals
during flights.
It is possible to disable wireless operation by opening and
closing the battery compartment of the hearing instrument
while at the same time pressing the push button.
When disabled manually, wireless operation may be
re-enabled by opening and closing the battery compart-
ment normally, (i.e., without at the same time pressing the
push button).
LISTENING TO THE RADIO OR TV
When listening to the TV or the radio, start out by listening to
news commentators since they usually speak clearly, then
try other programs.
If you find it difficult to listen to TV or radio, your hearing
healthcare professional will be able to give you advice on
available accessories to enhance your listening capabilities
for TV and radio.
PHONENOW™
The PhoneNow™ function is available on some hearing
instrument models and allows your hearing instrument
to automatically switch to the acoustic phone program
when a telephone receiver is raised to the ear. When the
telephone receiver is moved away from the ear, the hearing
instrument automatically returns to the previous listening
program. PhoneNow allows you to use the telephone in
a normal manner. You will hear a beep whenever the
PhoneNow feature automatically switches the hearing
instrument into or out of your telephone program. Experi-
ment with various telephone placements to find the best
position for reliable PhoneNow activation and optimal hear-
ing on the telephone.
PhoneNow magnets
While some telephone receivers produce a magnetic field
strong enough to activate the PhoneNow feature, other
tele phone receivers require an additional magnet to be
placed on the telephone receiver. The ideal placement of
the magnet may vary with different phones. As a result,
some experimentation may be required in order to identify
the optimal magnet placement. Once you have identified the
desired location for the magnet:
1. Clean the telephone receiver thoroughly.
2. Remove the paper
backing from the
adhesive pad on the
magnet.
3. Place the adhesive
side of the magnet
against the phone
and firmly press the
magnet into place.
