If the streamed signal disappears it can be due to: 1) The hearing aids are out of range of the ReSound Unite Mini Microphone. Try shortening the distance between the hearing aids and the ReSound Unite Mini Microphone. a. You can be up to 7 meter (276 inches) away from the ReSound Unite Mini Microphone depending on the physical environment. If you get out of this range and return to range within five minutes the hearing aids will reconnect themselves. b. If you get out of range and don’t return within five minutes you can reconnect on the hearing aids with a long press (3 seconds) on the pushbutton or by pressing the Unite TV button on the Remote Control. 2) The cable connecting the ReSound Unite Mini Microphone to the audio source is not inserted completely into the ReSound Unite Mini Microphone.

Adjusting the listening volume can be accomplished in a variety of ways. Keep in mind that volume adjustments apply to the streamed signal only, not the volume of normal environmental sounds. 1) Use the '+' and '-' keys on the ReSound Unite Mini Microphone to adjust volume to a comfortable level. Make sure that your hearing aids are comfortably adjusted before you change the settings with the volume control. When turned ON the Mini Microphone automatically starts at the volume level it was last used. The line-in volume level will default to a preset level on power up. 2) Use the ReSound Unite Remote Control (optional) to adjust volume. Look under the Remote Control section. 3) When using the line-in feature, the volume can in some cases be further adjusted at the signal source, for example by turning the TV itself down. In many cases this will adjust the volume of both streamed audio (transmitted wirelessly to your hearing aids) and non-streamed audio (sounds reaching the hearing aid microphones in the normal fashion). Of course, this will also affect listening volume for others in the room.

Try shortening the distance between the hearing aids and the ReSound Unite Mini Microphone. - The ReSound Unite Mini Microphone may be too close to other electrical devices such as a DVD player or stereo receiver causing interference.

Yes. always try to adjust the volume on the auxiliary device to a comfortable level to minimize electrical noise. There is also a volume control on the side of the ReSound Unite Mini Microphone (black button with a '+' and '–' ). If the ReSound Unite Mini Microphone is connected to the headphone jack on the TV, Stereo or Computer, adjustments on e.g. the TV remote control may also adjust the volume in the hearing aids.
