An audio source is considered as “connected” to the
ComPilot if:
½ The audio plug is inserted (with or without audio
signal).
½ An FM receiver is inserted and receives a FM signal.
½ A Bluetooth music source is streaming music or
paused.
½ A Bluetooth phone is paired and within reach.
A phone call always has priority. You will hear the
ringing indication even when listening to other audio
sources via cable, Bluetooth or FM. If you reject or
terminate the call, audio streaming will resume.
It is not possible to change hearing aid programs
using the Main ( ) button as long as any audio
source is connected to the ComPilot.
Most Bluetooth phones connect to the ComPilot as
a phone and a music player at the same time. If
you want to listen to music, you must start the music
via your phone; it cannot be started from the
ComPilot.
44
Selecting one of multiple sources using the ComPilot
With only one audio source (e.g., from a Bluetooth
transmitter), each press of the Main ( ) button will
pause or resume the audio source.
Multiple sound sources can
be accessed sequentially
by pressing the Main ( )
button. After each press,
the ComPilot selects the
next connected source in
a fixed sequence.
½ If a source is not connected, the ComPilot will proceed
to the next source.
½ After the last connected source in the sequence,
streaming stops and your hearing aids will resume the
previously-active hearing aid program, indicated by
beeps.
½ Every connected audio source has a fi xed place in
the sequence, as shown in the picture.

audio players and unplug the audio plug or the FM
receiver.
46
Streaming interruptions
To avoid streaming interruptions, make sure you wear
the ComPilot with the neckloop around your neck and
keep the Bluetooth device within the operating range.
Situations where streaming may be interrupted:
½ If the ComPilot is too far away from the hearing aids
while streaming, e.g., if you are not wearing the
neckloop or if you have unplugged the neckloop cable.
½ If the hearing aids are not worn correctly, e.g., if
they are not in an upright position.
½ If the Bluetooth signal is out of range.
½ If the Bluetooth transmitter is affected by an obstacle,
e.g., when carrying a cellular phone in the back-
pocket.
In these cases, your hearing aids will lose the audio
signal. If this situation continues for more than
approximately 5 seconds, they will automatically
switch to the previously-active hearing aid program.

8.5 Introduction to Bluetooth
What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth provides a way for devices like cellular or
cordless phones, laptops and personal computers to
communicate wirelessly.
Your ComPilot supports Bluetooth to allow audio to be
wirelessly received from many different audio devices and
transmitted to your hearing aids. For example, you can
receive phone calls directly to your hearing aids or listen
to a TV show via the TVLink S basestation.
For further information about Bluetooth, visit
www.bluetooth.org
52
What Bluetooth devices can I use with my ComPilot?
First, check whether the device you wish
to use is Bluetooth-enabled: Look for
the following symbol on the device or in
its user guide.
Second, the possible applications on a Bluetooth enabled
device are defi ned by “profi les”. The device you wish to
use with your ComPilot must support the appropriate
Bluetooth profi les. These differ depending on what you
want to do with your ComPilot:
½ To receive phone calls your phone must support either
the “Head Set” or “Hands Free” profi le (HSP/HFP)
½ To listen to stereo music from your phone or PC, it
must support the A2DP / “Stereo Headset” profi le.
½ The Phone Book Access Profi le (PBAP) is an indicator
whether Caller identifi cation will work or not.
Look for this information in your phone‘s user guide or
via the compatibility guide at:
http://www.phonak.com/compilot
8. More detailed information
53
Bluetooth device compatibility
If a problem occurs in the connection between your
device and the ComPilot, or if you are unsure about your
device’s Bluetooth capabilities, please consult your
device’s user guide or ask your dealer.
Bluetooth operating range
Your ComPilot supports Bluetooth Class 2 operation up
to a range of 10 meters (30 ft).
When used with the TVLink S basestation for watching
TV, the operation range is up to 30 meters (90 ft).
Line-of-sight between your ComPilot and other devices
is not required. However, the following factors may
affect the range achieved:
½ Interference with other devices in the environment
may reduce the operating range.
½ The Bluetooth device with which you are connecting
may only support a more limited range.
54
If your Bluetooth device moves out of range of your
ComPilot and has an active audio connection, this
connection fi rst starts to be intermittent and will fi nally
be terminated.
If the device is then moved back into range of your
ComPilot, it may or may not resume streaming to your
hearing aids. In this case, switch OFF the ComPilot
and switch it ON again after the red Power indicator is
turned off.
Using a Bluetooth device: pairing and connecting
Only when your device is Bluetooth-enabled and supports
the appropriate profi les, it can communicate with the
ComPilot. To enable this communication two simple
procedures must be completed:
1. Pairing: The pairing procedure allows you to
control which Bluetooth devices are permitted to
communicate with each other. It needs to be
completed only once for each device you wish to
use with your ComPilot.
8. More detailed information
55
2. Connecting: Once a device is allowed to communicate
with the ComPilot (“paired”) the connection procedure
makes sure the devices can exchange audio signals.
The paired devices connect every time they are
switched ON and are within reach of each other.
This is indicated on the ComPilot by the blue blinking
Audio indicator.
Most Bluetooth devices perform the connection
procedure automatically after pairing.
On the following pages the pairing and the connecting
procedures are described.
56
8.6 Setting up Bluetooth
This section describes the pairing and connection
procedure for Bluetooth devices.
Step-by-step: pairing a Bluetooth-enabled phone
It is only necessary to perform the pairing procedure
once with each Bluetooth device. The pairing
procedure is controlled by your phone.
Different phones have different menu structures.
You should, therefore, refer to your phone’s user guide
or dealer support if you cannot complete the pairing
procedure with the generic steps described here.
A maximum of 8 devices can be paired to the
ComPilot. Another pairing will replace the device
that was not used for the longest period.
The ComPilot can support (connect) two phones at
the same time but only one call at a time is possible.
For more information about Bluetooth pairing
instructions specifi c to some of the most popular
manufacturers, go to:

8. Your phone may then ask you to enter a passcode. If
so, enter “0000” (four zeros). Some phones may ask
which Bluetooth service you want to enable. Select
“Headset” or, if available, “Stereo Headset”.
9. Your ComPilot should now be paired to your phone
and the Audio indicator will stop blinking.
The pairing process is independent from the neckloop
(it can be plugged in or not).
It may be necessary to redo the pairing if your
phone’s fi rmware was updated.
How to connect to a phone
Once your phone and ComPilot are paired (see Pairing
a Bluetooth-enabled phone), the phone needs to be
‘connected’ to your ComPilot before it will actually
send audio signals to it.
This function should also appear in your phone’s
Bluetooth menu.
8. More detailed information
59
1. Ensure that the ComPilot is turned ON and the
neckloop is plugged in and worn correctly.
2. Locate the Bluetooth section in your phone menu

The connection between your ComPilot and your
phone will be maintained as long as the two devices
remain on and are within range of each other. If
either device is switched off or moves out of range,
you may need to repeat the connection procedure.
Some phones may perform the connection procedure
automatically after pairing. We recommend selecting
“Yes” when prompted to allow this device to connect
automatically once the pairing is completed.
Please consult your phone‘s user guide in the case
where a manual connection is necessary.
60
Pairing with other external Bluetooth devices
If you want to use your ComPilot to listen to music
from your stereo system you may use an external
Bluetooth transmitter. The ComPilot can also be used
with a Bluetooth-enabled landline phone.
The pairing procedure for other Bluetooth devices
is controlled by the device with which you are
attempting to pair. The procedure for pairing may
vary for each device. Please refer to the device’s user
guide or dealer support if you cannot complete the
pairing procedure with the generic steps described
below.
1. Turn ON both your ComPilot and the other device.
2. Place them next to each other.
3. Set your device into Bluetooth pairing mode.
4. Initiate the pairing process on your ComPilot by
simultaneously pressing the ( )- and ( )-buttons

again if you wish to reconnect.
8.7 Caller identifi cation: spoken caller names
The ComPilot is able to tell you the name of the caller.
If your phone supports Phone Book Access (PBA) or
Phone Book Access Profi le (PBAP), the ComPilot will try
to access information about the caller every time the
phone rings.
As the phone rings, the displayed
information is transferred to the
ComPilot and spoken through your
hearing aids as follows:
½ The stored name in your phones phonebook. In the
example, you will hear “Mike Offi ce”.
½ The number if the name is not known.
Mike
Office
