recommends that you use a protective case. The following protective
cases are available from Cochlear:
• Cochlear™ Nucleus® CR100 Series Belt Case: You can insert the
remote assistant into the belt case and attach it to your belt. The
belt case can be rotated to adjust its position on the belt. When
you want to use your remote assistant, remove it from the belt
case.

When using the remote assistant while it is in a protective case,
you may notice a slight decrease in the operating range. If this
happens, either remove the remote assistant from the case when
using it, or hold the case close to your processor.
When the remote assistant is attached to your belt, certain
arm positions (e.g. arm swinging past the belt when walking)
may affect communication. If this happens, remove the remote
assistant from the case when using it.
Using the remote assistant lanyard
The Cochlear™ Nucleus® CR100 Series Lanyard allows you to wear the
remote assistant around your neck.

Technical information
The remote assistant wireless communication link operates in the 2.4
GHz ISM band using GFSK (Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying) on 10
channels. The link uses a proprietary bi-directional communication
protocol and operates over a distance of up to 2m from the CP810
processor. When interference is present, the wireless communication
link switches between the 10 channels to fi nd a channel where the
interference least affects the operation of the link. The remote assistant
indicates via its display and light indicator when the processor is not
within operating distance, and when the link has been interrupted due
to interference. For more information, see Holding and operating your
remote assistant in this user guide.
