Getting to know your remote assistant
195993 Iss3 CR110 user guide 01.nu.indd 10 13/05/2009 5:11:23 PM
Getting started
This section helps you get started with your new remote assistant. It
explains:
How to charge your remote assistant battery.•
How to turn your remote assistant on and off.•
How to lock and unlock your remote assistant keypad.•
Charging and recharging your remote assistant
battery
Your remote assistant has a non-removable rechargeable battery.
Charging your remote assistant battery for the fi rst time
Cochlear recommends that you fully charge the battery before using
your remote assistant for the fi rst time. It may take approximately 2 to
4 hours to fully charge a completely empty battery. As the battery ages,
it may take longer to fully charge the battery.
Recharging your remote assistant battery
A fully charged battery should provide you with approximately 1 to 2
weeks of battery life. Battery life, however, may vary depending on:
How often and how long you use your remote assistant.•
Whether you turn off your remote assistant when not in use.•
Whether your remote assistant is controlling one or two •
processors.

195993 Iss3 CR110 user guide 01.nu.indd 11 13/05/2009 5:11:32 PM
When to recharge your remote assistant battery
Charge the battery:
When the remote assistant • battery status screen shows that
the battery is low. When you turn on your remote assistant,
the battery status screen displays after it displays the start-up
(Cochlear logo) screen. The less white you see on the battery icon,
the less charge you have. The remote assistant keypad lock/unlock
screen also indicates battery status. For more information, see
Locking and unlocking your rem ote assistant keypad.
Figure 4: Battery status screen showing battery is fully charged
Once a week, even if your remote assistant does not indicate that •
the battery is low or empty.
It is recommended that you follow these guidelines to maximise the life
expectancy of the remote assistant battery.
Recommended temperature range for recharging the battery
To fully charge the remote assistant battery, recharge the battery at a
temperature range of 15 ºC (59 ºF) to 29 ºC (84 ºF). If the temperature
range is lower [between -2.5 ºC (28 ºF) and 15 ºC (59 ºF)] or higher
[between 29 ºC (84 ºF) and 52 ºC (126 ºF)], only 75 to 80 percent of the
battery will be charged. If the temperature is too high [over 52 ºC (126
ºF)] or too low [below -2.5 ºC (28 ºF)], the battery will not charge.
You can operate your remote assistant at any temperature range.

The Home screen allows you to select programs and perform key
functions (e.g. change volume).
Up to four processor programs are available for your use, depending on
the number of programs enabled on your processor. Programs help you
hear better in different listening situations.
The available programs are:
• Everyday program: This is ideal for the typical listening situations
of everyday life and can adjust the sounds you hear for maximum
clarity and comfort.
• Noise program: This is suitable for environments with signifi cant
background noise, improving the audibility of wanted sound from
all sides.
• Focus program: This is useful where there is signifi cant background
noise, but the focus is on hearing what one person or a small group
of people are saying.
• Music program: This can be used to listen to all types of music
from any audio source.
When you turn on your remote assistant, it takes you to the Home
screen after displaying the start-up screen (Cochlear logo) and the
