![Intended useThe Remote Control is intended to enable the user to control a wireless Baha Sound Processor remotely. The essential purpose of the Remote Control is to transfer signals to a Baha sound processor in order to adjust volume and select a program. Getting StartedCharging the Battery See figure 2 2Before using your Remote Control, the battery must be fully charged. To do so, plug in the charging cable as shown below. Then plug the other end into a power outlet. During charging, the battery meter will display one, two or three bars. When fully charged, all three bars will be shown continuously. For safety reasons, recharge the battery only with chargers supplied by Cochlear.Caution: Do not charge the Cochlear Remote Control while it is being worn.Turning your Remote Control 2 ON and OFF See figure 1 1 no. 1To turn your Remote Control ON slide the ON/OFF control down to the ON position. A white “I” icon will be visible at the base of the control and the display will turn on. To turn your Remote Control OFF, slide the ON/OFF control up to the OFF position.Changing program See figure 3 3The “P” button [no. 10 in figure 1] is used to change the programs that your hearing care professional has programmed into your sound processor. The name of the program displayed can be configured by your hearing care professional. Each time you press the “P” button the program advances one step, returning to program 1 at the end of each cycle (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 1). Each program change is accompanied by beep tones in both sound processors and the program currently in use is shown in the display. For optimal performance it is recommended that both sound processors be set to the same program.1Program 1 “Everyday”2Program 2 “Noise”Adjusting volumeAdjust volume on two sound processors See figure 4 4The “+” and “-” keys are used to adjust volume [no. 6 and 7 in figure 1]. Volume may be adjusted on both sound processors simultaneously or on each side independently. By default, both sound processors are “active,” which is indicated in the display by two arrowheads (< and >) located next to the volume bars. Both sound processors can simultaneously be made louder by pressing the “+” key or softer by pressing the “-” key. Each adjustment is accompanied by beep tones in the sound processors as well as a visual change in the volume bars shown in the display. The default volume level is indicated by a horizontal green line in the volume bars.Adjusting volume on the left sound processor only See figure 5 5To adjust volume on the left side only, first press the “<” key on the keypad [no. 8 in figure 1]. Doing so makes the left sound processor “active” and the right sound processor “inactive”. This is indicated by a left arrowhead (<) in the display, with the right arrowhead turned off.

Each Cochlear streaming device is indicated in the display by the letter A, B or C. If more than one Cochlear streaming device is in use, press the streaming button again until the desired audio signal is heard.Streaming mode volume adjustmentWhen in streaming mode, both the sound processor’s volume (left volume bar) and the streamed audio volume (right volume bar) are by default set to “active”. This is indicated in the display by the two arrows (< and >) located next to the volume bars. To adjust both the sound processor and the streamed audio volume simultaneously, press the “+” or “-” key [no. 6 or 7 in figure 1] on the Remote Control.Note: If you are using two sound processors, any volume adjustments will apply to both of them. It is also possible to make individual volume adjustments for the sound processors and the streamed audio signal respectively.Adjust sound processor volume only See figure 12 12To adjust the sound processor volume, press the left “<” key on the keypad [no. 8 in figure 1] once. The two arrows “<>” next to the hearing instrument volume bar and the “streamed audio” volume bar will be dimmed. Press “+” or “-” [no. 6 or 7 in figure 1] to adjust hearing instrument volume. To return to simultaneous adjustment mode, press the “>” key [no. 9 in figure 1] on the keypad until one arrow appears next to each volume bar in the display, indicating that both volume levels are “active”.Adjust streamed audio volume only TVTo adjust the streamed audio volume, press the right “>” key on the keypad [no. 9 in figure 1] once. The two arrows “<>” next to the streamed volume bar and the “hearing instrument” volume bar will be dimmed. Press “+” or “-” [no. 6 or 7 in figure 1] to adjust the streamed audio volume. To return to simultaneous adjustment mode, press the “<” key [no. 8 in figure 1] on the keypad until one arrow appears next to each volume bar in the display, indicating that both volume levels are “active”.Sound processor streaming mode volume adjustmentsThe volume adjustment will apply to the streamed audio signal only. If necessary, adjust the volume using the “+” and “-” keys [no. 6 or 7 in figure 1]. The volume of the streamed audio signal can also be adjusted individually for the left and right sound processors by pressing < or > [no. 8 or 9 in figure 1]. To stop streaming and return to the previous program, press the “P” button [no. 10 in figure 1]. Alternatively, press the Home button [no. 4 in figure 1], which will reset your sound processor to its default settings (see the section “Return to Home settings”) and also reset the Remote Control to simultaneous adjustment mode.Cochlear Wireless Phone Clip (optional) See figure 13 13The Phone Clip also works with the Remote Control. The display will indicate when the Phone Clip is in use. Once the phone call has ended, the sound processor will return to the previously used program. That program is shown on the display of the Remote Control. Volume adjustments made during the phone call will not be transferred to your previously used program. Phone calls will temporarily interrupt streaming from your optional streaming devices but streamed audio will be restored once the phone call has ended.Appendix: exceptions to normal operationIf you have been fitted with two sound processors, it is recommended that both of them be set to the same program at all times. However, it is possible to have different programs on the two sound processors, such as Program 1 on the left side and streamed audio on the right. Under these circumstances, the remote control functions slightly differently, as the following examples illustrate.Situation #1: You have started with P1 on both sides but have changed the right side to P2 by pushing the button on the right sound processor. If you then press the P button on the remote control, the left sound processor will advance to P2, matching the one on the right. Further presses of the P button will advance both sound processors, thus keeping the same program on both sides.Situation #2: You have set the left sound processor to P1 and the right sound processor to P2. If you then press the Streaming button, both sound processors will receive streamed audio from the same source (e.g., the TV). If you then press the P button on the remote control, streaming will be cancelled on both sides and both sound processors will return to their previous programs (P1 and P2).Situation #3: You have P1 on the left side but have started streaming on the right side by pressing and holding the button on the right sound processor. If you then press the P button on the Remote Control, streaming on the right side will be cancelled and both sound processors will return to P1. If you press the Streaming button instead, both sound processors will be set to the same streamed audio program. Situation #4: If your sound processors are using different sound processor programs, only the program numbers for each sound processor will be shown. No program label/name will be shown.Situation #5: If one sound processor is in streaming mode and the other one is in one of the sound processor programs, only the streaming display will be shown with no indication of the sound processor’s program number and label/name. Adjusting volume on the right sound processor only See figure 6 6To adjust volume on the right side only, first press the “>” key on the keypad [no. 9 in figure 1]. Doing so makes the right side “active” and the left side “inactive”. This is indicated by a right arrowhead (>) in the display with the left arrowhead turned off. Press “+” or “-” to adjust volume on the right side only.To return to simultaneous adjustment mode, press either the < or > keys on the keypad [no. 8 or 9 in figure 1] until both arrowheads appear in the display, indicating that both sound processors are again “active”.Note: Mute/Unmute: Mute and unmute the sound processors’ microphones by pressing the mute button [no. 5 in fig 1] on the Remote Control.Muting or unmuting applies to both sound processors simultaneously and cannot be selected for the left or right one separately. When the microphones are muted, the microphone icon will be replaced by a microphone muted icon and the volume bars will be dimmed. To unmute the sound processor microphones, press the mute button again. TV Activate streamingIf you are using an optional Cochlear streaming device such as the Cochlear Wireless TV Streamer** or Cochlear Wireless Mini Microphone***, input from these devices can be activated by pressing the streaming button no. 3 in figure 1. See also the section “Using optional audio streaming devices”.Return to Home settingsHome settings, i.e., those that apply whenever the sound processor is first turned on, are activated by pressing the Home button [no. 4 in figure 1]. Pressing the Home button will:1. Activate program 1 in your sound processor2. Adjust your sound processor to the default volume settings3. Set the volume to simultaneous adjustment modeThe home button will also terminate any streamed audio signals from any optional Cochlear streaming device.Low battery indicatorRemote Control low battery indicator See figure 7 7The battery level of the Remote Control is indicated by a battery meter comprising three bars. As the battery is gradually depleted the bars will disappear one by one. When the battery is low on power, the meter will start flashing, indicating that recharging is needed.Sound Processor low battery indicator See figure 8 8When the sound processor’s battery is almost flat, you may still be able to use it, but the Remote Control functionality may be disabled. Should this happen, we recommend you replace the battery in your sound processor.1Low battery on left sound processor2Low battery on right sound processorOperating range See figure 9 9The operating range between the Remote Control and the sound processor is approximately 1 meter (40”). If the current status is not displayed on the Remote Control, hold Remote Control it in front of your chest as shown in the illustration.If the Remote Control cannot determine the sound processor’s status, search icons will appear on its display. Hold the Remote Control as shown above to establish contact with both sound processors. 1Searching for two sound processors2Searching for the right sound processor Connected to the left sound processorDisplayTo conserve battery life, the Remote Control has a power saving feature that automatically turns off the display and puts the Remote Control in standby mode after 20 seconds of inactivity. Simply press any button on the keypad to reactivate the display and then perform the desired action.Remote control performance The Remote Control performs best when buttons are pressed one step at a time rather than in rapid sequence. When adjusting volume, for example, briefly press a button as described below and wait for the tone before continuing. This tip applies to all button use but is especially relevant to volume adjustments.Pairing See figure 10 10Pairing is the process of establishing communication between your sound processor and your Remote Control. Your hearing care professional can help you with this procedure when fitting your sound processor. Alternatively, you can follow the steps below to pair your sound processor with the Remote Control: 1. Make sure the Remote Control is fully charged and is turned on.2. Turn off your sound processor.3. Press the pairing button on the Remote Control once. This will activate the pairing mode 1which will be active for 20 seconds.4. While pairing mode is activated, turn on your sound processor. Successful pairing will be indicated by an audible melody played in your sound processor and program 1 will be shown as active in the Remote Control display 2. You are now ready to use the Remote Control.
