How do I adjust the volume on the 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.
- 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. Using the microphone the Mini Microphonet will store the latest set volume level. The line-in volume level will default to a preset level on power up.
- Use the ReSound Unite Remote Control (optional) to adjust volume. Look under the Remote Control section.
- 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.
Is the ReSound Mini Microphone waterproof?

How far from the ReSound Unite Mini Microphone can I hear the sound?

Do volume adjustments on an auxiliary sound source affect the volume in my hearing aids?
Yes. Always try to adjust the level to a comfortable level on the auxiliary device to minimize electrical noise.
There is also a volume control on the top of the TV streamer, with black buttons that have a ‘+’ and ‘–’ on them.
If the ReSound Unite TV Streamer 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.
