Pairing is the process of setting up an exclusive communication between your hearing aids and your ReSound TV Streamer 2.

Your hearing care practitioner can set up pairing during the fitting of your hearing aids.

Alternatively, you can follow the below steps to pair your hearing aids to ReSound TV Streamer 2:

1. Make sure ReSound TV Streamer 2 is plugged in to a wall socket and that the green power light is ON. Your hearing aids must be off – open the battery door.

2. Press the pairing button on ReSound TV Streamer 2 one time. This will activate the amber activity light indicating that pairing mode has been activated. Also, channel indicator light number 1 will be turned on when the pairing button has been pressed only once. Pairing mode will be activated for 20 seconds.

3. While pairing mode is activated, close the battery doors of both hearing aids and make sure they are ON. (If the amber activity light turns off before the hearing aids are turned on, pairing will not be completed.) A successful pairing will be indicated by an audible melody played in both hearing aids. You are now ready to use the ReSound TV Streamer 2!

Pairing to a 2nd or 3rd ReSound TV Streamer 2 unit
It is possible to pair up to three ReSound TV Streamer 2 units with a one pair of hearing aids. To pair a second ReSound TV Streamer 2, press the pairing button of the second unit twice, which will illuminate the 2nd channel indicator and then close the battery doors on the hearing aids. A third ReSound TV Streamer 2 unit can be paired by pressing the pairing button three times and completing the procedure as described above.

The latency is less than 20 ms. Latency above 30 ms can be perceived as echoes if direct sound is also audible to the user.

No, the ReSound TV Streamer 2 must always be connected to an AC external power source.

Your wireless ReSound hearing aids can be paired to up to three ReSound TV Streamer 2s at a time. 

Any device with audio output (headphone jack or RCA output ports) can be connected. For example, you can connect your TV-set , Stereo and Computer to the ReSound TV Streamer 2. 

The ReSound TV Streamer 2 can be paired with as many hearing aids as needed.

For best performance, the ReSound TV Streamer 2 should be placed with a clear line of sight to the hearing aid user.

1) Connect the power supply to the wall socket and insert the cable to the Mini-USB socket on ReSound TV Streamer 2.

2) Connect the red and white plug of the audio cord into the red and white plugs on your TV.

3) Plug the other end of the red and white audio cord in the 'AUDIO OUT' terminal on the TV.

4) The 'AUDIO OUT' is usually marked 'L – R' for left and right, and 'AUDIO OUT' and can be found on the back of the TV.

Alternatively you can plug this cable into your Stereo.

Alternative audio cable installations:

If connecting ReSound TV Streamer 2 to the AUDIO OUTPUT jack is not possible on your TV, there are alternative installation possibilities: Jack adapter, Scart adapter.

If your TV only has a digital port, you will need a ‘digital to analog audio converter’ and a coaxial or optical cable to connect ReSound TV Streamer 2 to your TV-set. Consult your TV technician for these 2 items.

Jack adapter – for TV and Computer:

1. Connect the power supply to the wall socket and insert the cable to the Mini-USB socket on ReSound TV Streamer 2.

2. Connect the red and white plug of the audio cord into the red and white plugs on ReSound TV Streamer 2.

3. Connect the Jack adapter on the other end of the audio cable.

4. Plug the Jack adapter into the TV’s 'HEADPHONE' output terminal, or alternatively into your computers’ audio terminal.

Scart adapter – for TV:

1. Connect the power supply to the wall socket and insert the cable to the Mini-USB socket on ReSound TV Streamer 2.

2. Connect the red and white plug of the audio cord into the red and white plugs on ReSound TV Streamer 2.

3. Attach the Scart adapter to the other end of the audio cable.

4. Plug the Scart adapter into the TVs Scart terminal.

The ReSound TV Streamer 2 does not need to be charged as it runs on mains (AC) power.

Turn on the TV, Stereo, Computer or other audio device connected to ReSound TV Streamer 2. Make sure your hearing aids are turned on as well. Streaming may be started in one of two ways.

1) Press and hold the push button on either hearing aid for about three seconds. This must be done separately on both hearing aids in order to hear streamed audio in both ears. Once ReSound TV Streamer 2 has been connected, an audible melody will play in your hearing aids and will be followed by the streamed sound.

2) If you have a ReSound Remote Control 2(optional), simply press the ReSound TV Streamer 2 button. Doing so will briefly show a search icon in the ReSound Remote Control 2 display. Once the hearing aids connect to ReSound TV Streamer 2, a short melody will be played in both ears to confirm the presence of streamed audio and a streaming icon will appear in the display along with an indication of the ReSound TV Streamer 2 you are listening to: ‘A’, ‘B’,’C’ .‘A’, ‘B’,’C’ being fully customizable names set through the fitting software used by your care professional.

1) Press the program button on either hearing aid. This will cancel streaming on the side pressed. 

2) With the ReSound Remote Control 2 (optional) you just have to press the 'P- button, located in the center of the keypad. This will return the hearing aids to the last program used. You may also press the Home button to return to your default program 1 settings.

3) If you are using the telephone with ReSound Phone Clip+ or Phone-Now™, streaming of ReSound TV Streamer 2 will be temporarily disrupted. When you have ended your phone call, streaming will resume.

If the streamed signal disappears it can be due to:

1) The hearing aids are out of range of the ReSound TV Streamer 2. Try shortening the distance between the hearing aids and the ReSound TV Streamer 2. 

a. You can be up to 7 meter (20 feet) away from the ReSound TV Streamer 2. If you get out of this range but return within range within five minutes the hearing aids will reconnect automatically.

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 ReSound TV Streamer 2 button on the optional ReSound Remote Control 2.

2) The cable connecting the ReSound TV Streamer 2 to the audio source is not inserted completely into the ReSound TV Streamer 2. Ensure that all cables are plugged in and the plug is in the wall outlet.

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 TV Streamer 2 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. In most cases this adjustment should only be made once, as ReSound TV Streamer 2 is intended as a 'set and forget' type of device.

2) Use the ReSound Remote Control 2(optional) to adjust volume.

3) 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.

You should be able to hear the streamed signal clearly up to at least 7 meters (20 feet) from the ReSound TV Streamer 2. If the sound does not come through clearly, you may have to move closer to the ReSound TV Streamer 2.

Normally not. To adjust the streamed sound from the TV, Stereo or Computer you can use volume +/- on the ReSound Remote Control 2 (optional). 

There is also a volume control on the top of the TV, with black buttons that have a '+' and '-' on them.

If the ReSound TV Streamer 2 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.

Phone Now

You will still have streamed signal in the other ear. When you hang up the phone the hearing aids will automatically go back to streamed sound, and you will hear an indication in the hearing aids that you are in streaming mode.

The ReSound TV Streamer 2 is not waterproof. Exposure to water or excessive moisture may damage the product. If the ReSound TV Streamer 2 accidentally is exposed to water or moisture, then wipe it carefully with a soft cloth.

This could be because:

1) The hearing aids are out of range of the Unite TV. Try shortening the distance between the hearing aids and the Unite TV.

2) The cable connecting the Unite TV to the TV-set, Stereo, Computer or other audio sources is not inserted completely into the Unite TV. Ensure that all cables are plugged in and the power plug is plugged into the wall socket.

3) The Unite TV should be positioned vertically for optimal streaming. Check to make sure that the device is positioned in a vertical manner such as in its stand, and not lying flat.

4) The Unite TV may be too close to other electrical devices such as a DVD player or stereo receiver. Check to make sure that it is not sitting on top of an electrical device.
