Programme Selector Your hearing care professional has most likely programmed multiple programmes into your instrument. You can select programmes simply by depressing the programme selector once. You will then hear one or more “beeps”, indicating which programme you have selected.
Telecoil See section “Telephone Use” for a detailed description of this function. ReSound Danalogic 6 BTE instruments are all equipped with a telecoil in their standard version. Directionality ReSound Danalogic 6 6060-DI mini is equipped with two microphones and thus offers directionality. That is a function which enables better speech understanding in noisy situations. This function focuses on speech in front of you while sounds coming from the back or the side are suppressed.
On/Off Function ReSound Danalogic 6 mini is equipped with an on/off switch integrated into the battery compartment. When the battery compartment is fully closed, the instrument is turned on in its functional mode and programme 1 will be activated. Partially open the battery door until it snaps into the offposition. The instrument is then switched off. Whenever you are not wearing the instrument, remember to turn it off to reduce battery consumption.
Volume Control The ReSound Danalogic 6 mini 4060-VI, offer a volume control allowing you to turn the volume up and down. When wearing the instrument, you can increase the volume by turning the volume control wheel up, and reduce volume by turning it down. Up Down For each volume step, you will hear a “beep” signal indicating the change. If you reach the upper or lower limit of the volume control range, there will be a different type of “beep” signal with a lower pitch.
Direct Audio Input (DAI) ReSound Danalogic 6 mini offers you the possibility of direct, undisturbed connection to facilities such as television, radio and remote microphone via the Direct Audio Input socket. Often, this will improve sound quality. The sound source is connected to your instrument with a cable or a wireless FM system to the audio shoe. The audio shoe will connect with a “click” to the hearing instrument and switch to Direct Audio Input automatically.
Inserting and removing the instrument - standard Ear mould Inserting the instrument • With the battery door opened in the off position take the ear mould between thumb and index finger and position its ‘point’ in your ear canal. Now, slide the ear mould all the way into your ear with a gentle, twisting movement. Insertion can be easier if you gently pull your auricle backwards with your other hand.
Inserting and removing the instrument - Thin Tube Inserting the instrument • Hang the instrument over the top of the ear. • Grasp the Thin Tube where it bends and push the dome into your ear canal. The dome should be placed far enough into the ear that the sound tube lies flush with your head. When the dome is placed appropriately, you should not see the Thin Tube sticking out when you look directly into a mirror.
Low Battery Warning When the battery voltage/power decreases to a low level, the instrument will inform you by a soft low-battery-warning signal (beep-beep). The signal indicates you should replace the battery, and for this reason we recommend that you always have a spare battery. The battery-warning signal will be repeated every 5-10 minutes until the battery runs out of power. The instrument will then automatically switch off.
Battery Warning Information Batteries contain dangerous substances and should be disposed of carefully in the interest of your safety and for the environment. • Do NOT attempt to recharge batteries which are not specifically 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 (desiccant) overnight. Consult your hearing care professional concerning which drying agent to use.
Cleaning the Ear Mould and replacing Sound Outlet Filter The ear mould should be cleaned regularly. Remove the ear mould and the silicone tubing from the hearing instrument before you clean it. Lukewarm water should be enough to clean wax off the ear mould. If ear wax is stuck in the sound canal of the ear mould, the cleaning loop or a syringe with lukewarm water can easily be used to “push” the wax out. Be sure to thoroughly dry the ear mould and its tubing before reconnecting it to the hearing instrument.
Sound Outlet Filter If your ReSound Danalogic 6 mini is fitted with a hook, the hook is equipped with a filter. This filter is located at the top of the sound outlet and prevents moisture and debris from getting into the hearing instrument. If the hearing instrument seems to have lost power and changing the battery does not help, the filter may be blocked, and needs to be changed. See instructions below: How to remove filter Place the hook of the instrument into the long groove of the filter stick.
Cleaning the Thin Tube and dome The Thin Tube feeds the amplified sound from the hearing instrument into the ear. It is important that the Thin Tube and the dome fit correctly into your ear. If the Thin Tube or the dome irritate your ear in any way and prevent you from wearing your hearing instrument, please contact your hearing care professional. You should never attempt to modify the shape of the Thin Tube yourself. The Thin Tube and the dome should be cleaned regularly.
The Domes How to mount the standard Dome The Original Open Dome is mounted on the Thin Tube by pushing it over the grooves on the Thin Tube. How to mount the Tulip-Dome (1) + (2) The Tulip-Dome is mounted on the Thin Tube by pushing it over the grooves on the Thin Tube.
The Tulip-Dome should be directed with the sound outlet hole facing either down towards your shoulders or up towards your hair. (3) The sound outlet hole can turn both ways; the direction of the sound outlet hole affects the length of the sound tube according 3 to the entrance of your ear canal. Please ask your hearing care professional which way the sound outlet hole should turn in your ear. The Tulip-Dome consists of two “leaves” and it is important that the largest “leaf” is the outermost “leaf” (4).
Telephone Use Your hearing instrument is equipped with an induction coil (telecoil) which picks up magnetic emanations from a hearing instrument compatible telephone. Your hearing care professional can activate the telecoil. By selecting the telecoil programme, the hearing instrument will only pick up the sounds coming from the telephone. When using the telecoil programme, the receiver of the telephone should be held as shown in the drawing.
Using Assistive Listening (tele-loop) Systems Many gathering places are equipped with assistive listening (tele-loop) systems, e.g. in schools, theatres and houses of worship. To take advantage of a tele-loop system, select the telecoil programme. When the telecoil programme has been selected, you will be able to hear a clean sound signal via the tele-loop system. If the instrument goes dead in the telecoil programme, this may be because the loop system is not operating.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE SYMPTOM No sound CAUSE • Not turned on • Dead battery • Battery improperly inserted • Blocked ear mould • Blocked sound outlet filter Not loud enough • Loose ear mould • Blocked ear mould • Change in hearing • Excessive ear wax • Blocked sound outlet filter • Volume set too low Whistles • Loose ear mould • DFS needs re-initialization Sound not clear • Weak battery or distorted • Poorly fitting ear mould • Hearing instrument damaged • Hearing instrument settings not optimal If
POSSIBLE REMEDY • Turn on • Replace battery • Insert battery properly • Clean ear mould blockage • Change filter or consult your hearing care professional • Reinsert carefully • Clean ear mould • Consult your hearing care professional • Consult your physician • Change filter or consult your hearing care professional • Consult your hearing care professional • Remove and reinsert • Consult your hearing care professional • Replace battery • Consult your hearing care professional •
General Precautions • Consult a physician if you find a foreign object in your ear canal, if you experience skin irritation or if excessive ear wax accumulates with the use of the hearing instrument. • Different types of radiation, e.g. from NMR, MRI or CT scanners, may damage the hearing instrument. Therefore, do not wear the hearing instrument during these or other corresponding scanning procedures.
