Daily maintenance
It is important to keep your hearing instrument clean and dry. On a daily basis, clean the hearing instru-
ments using a soft cloth or tissue. Remove any wax or debris from hearing instruments using a brush and/
or a wire loop. In order to avoid damage due to humidity or excessive perspiration, the use of a drying kit
is recommended.
replacing wax filters
Custom hearing instruments may have wax filters that protect against wax and moisture. It is recom-
mended that these are changed as needed.
To change these filters, the following steps are needed:
1. Brush the sound outlet area with the sound outlet pointed down.
2. Insert the threaded end of the wax filter tool into the used wax filter, and gently rotate clockwise.
3. Gently pull until the used filter is removed.
4. Discard the used filter in the slot located in the wax filter kit by pressing it into the center, sliding it to
one end of the slot, and pull until the filter is discarded.
5. Flip the wax filter tool around, locate a new filter in the dial, and press the tip of the tool into the center
of the dial.
6. Gently pull the new filter out of the dial.
7. Align the new filter to the sound outlet.
8. Press the new filter into the opening, and simultaneously pull and rock back and forth until the new
wax filter is in place.
i
Tip: Pressing on the new filter with the flat side of the wax filter tool can ensure that the filter is correctly
in place.

Note: If a different type of wax filter is used for your hearing instruments, or if your hearing instruments
do not utilise wax filters, consult your hearing care professional for guidance.

Use only original ReSound consumables e.g. wax filters.

Intended use of smart phone apps:
GN ReSound smart phone apps are intended to be used with GN ReSound wireless hearing aids. GN Re-
Sound smart phone apps send and receive signals from the GN ReSound wireless hearing aids via smart
phones for which the apps have been developed.
Use with smart phone apps:
•
Notifications of app updates should not be disabled, and it is recommended that the user installs all
updates to ensure that the app will function correctly and will be kept up to date.
•
The app must only be used with GNR devices for which it is intended, and GNR take no responsibility if
the app is used with other devices.
