You will then hear one or more “beeps”, indicating which programme you have selected. Your hearing instru- ment will switch programmes as follows: Examples: 3 programmes: 1→...
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.
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 off- position.
Volume Control The ReSound Danalogic 6 mini 4060-VI, offer a volume con- trol 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.
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.
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.

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.
Low Battery Warning When the battery voltage/power decreases to a low level, the instrument will inform you by a soft low-battery-warning sig- nal (beep-beep). The signal indicates you should replace the battery, and for this reason we recommend that you always have a spare battery.
Battery Warning Information Batteries contain dangerous substances and should be dis- posed 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.
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.
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”...
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 bat- tery does not help, the filter may...
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 hear- ing care professional.
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.
Page 22
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 to the entrance of your ear canal.
Telephone Use Your hearing instrument is equipped with an induction coil (telecoil) which picks up magnetic emanations from a hear- ing 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.
Do not attempt to open the case of the hearing instrument since this would invalidate the warranty. If your GN ReSound hearing instru- ment requires service, please contact your hearing care pro- fessional for assistance.
