File: 000.000.015.286.pdf Version: 2Title: Work Instruction Wireless Functional Test Device Page: 2 / 15The Wireless Functional Test (WFT) device is used to perform a wireless functional quality test (Go/NoGo test) of the proprietary HIBAN link (10.6 MHz) by generating an audio stream from the WFT device to a hearing instruments or compatible Digital Wireless Accessories (DWA).WFT device interacts as a simple remote control and can be used to test remote control functionality by decreasing the volume and changing the program of a hearing instrument. Following platforms are supported:• P3: Palio 3 Platform with a new chip realizing the HiBAN 2 with 8-DPSK (DQPSK) modulation. All hearing aids starting by Audeo V and Digital Wireless Accessories of the “II” generation.• P2: Palio 2 Platform with a chip realizing the HiBAN 1 with F1D / FSK modulation. All wireless hearing aids till Audeo V.Please read this user guide carefully to benefit from all the features of the WFT.The WFT device is designed for trained and certified custom product manufacturing and repair centers within Phonak and Unitron Group Companies (GCs) and by qualified distributors.The WFT device is used for performing a functional test of the HIBAN link of a Device Under Test (DUT). The WFT device is not capable to program nor manipulate any setting of hearing instrument or a DWA. The WFT does not give pass/fail output. Rating needs to be done by operator.PurposeThis document is an outline of the user interface menu for the Wireless Functional Test (WFT) of the WFT device. This test is compatible with both Palio 2 (P2) & Palio 3 (P3) hearing instruments (HI) & Palio 3 Digital Wireless Accessories (DWA). There are different tests available for the two platforms due to the wireless processor used. Palio 2 HI remote control test & the Palio 3 remote control test & wireless functional test for both P3 HI & P3 DWA. The HI will always have a side designation, left or right. The WFT device is able to test the HI without the operator selecting a specific side. The WFT device will automatically connect to a DWA under test regardless of the fitting side status, left or right, or binaural.General DescriptionIntended UseWireless Functional Test

File: 000.000.015.286.pdf Version: 2Title: Work Instruction Wireless Functional Test Device Page: 4 / 15P2 & P3 HI Remote Control TestThe WFT device will send a RC command to the HI. The operator will listen to the HI to confirm the correct function. i.e. Change Program – HI changes program.P3 HI Wireless Functional TestThe WFT device will send a sine wave to the HI. The operator listens to the WFT device output via a Stethoclip & judges the quality of the audio streamed to the WFT device.P3 DWA & P3 CROS II Remote Control TestThe WFT device will receive the remote control command from the DWA or CROS II & display what the command was. The operator will compare the displayed result to the action they performed. i.e. VC up is pressed, WFT device displays "Volume UP".P3 DWA & P3 CROS Wireless Functional TestThe DWA or P3 CROS II streams an audio signal to the WFT device. The operator has to judge the quality of the audio based on what he/she hears at the receiver of the WFT device.Hearing InstrumentsThe HI can have either a generic or product firmware loaded. In either FW the default settings (also called manufacturing settings) should be set. In the default settings configuration all audio inputs (omni mic, dir mic, T’coil etc.) & all user controls are active. The HI is set to full on gain output, therefore the volume remote control command is to decrease the HI volume. The program change command is to toggle to the next program in a loop. Once the last program is reached the HI will change to the first program.Digital Wireless AccessoriesFor the DWA remote control function to work the client settings must be used. The remote control can be setup for a monaural or binaural fitting.For streaming function the DWA can be in a "Generic grouping" or a fitted state. Regardless of the fitting state of the DWA the WFT device will detect the DWA a stream the audio accordingly.Failure TestIn the event that a HI or DWA fails the test repair actions are to be taken. These actions are not in the scope of this document.Test PreconditionsFunctional Test

File: 000.000.015.286.pdf Version: 2Title: Work Instruction Wireless Functional Test Device Page: 6 / 15The Wireless Functional Test device should be used at any process step to check the wireless function of the hearing instrument or digital wireless accessory. For example, diagnose, component exchange & quality control as a part of the repair process & kit preparation or drilling & wiring, closing & quality control as apart of the ITE new production process.The WFT device is to replace the Lab myPilot for checking the wireless function of Palio 2 & Palio 3 hearing instruments. In addition it is also possible to check the function of Palio 3 digital wireless accessories.The WFT device has a display and 3 touch pads to control the device. It is powered by a mini USB cable connected to a PC or to the power socket. There is also an acoustic out to connect a stethoclip to listen to the streamed audio signal from DWAs & CROS II products. The WFT device has an external HIBAN antenna which must be connected to the Palio 2 or Palio 3 socket depending on which platform product is being tested.Wireless Functional Test Device1Product Compatibility Table WH22Palio 2 HIWH30Palio 3 HI Palio 3 DWAAmbra Bolero Audéo V ComPilot IISolana Virto Bolero V ComPilot Air IICassia Naìda Q PilotOne IINaìda S Sky QNios S Audéo QAudéo SFunctional TestPalio3 / Palio2POWER3.3VLINKACTMarconiPalio3Acoustic OutMini-Din Mini USBiWiProPalio2WIRELESS FUNCTIONAL TESTWireless Functional Test Setup2A template will be provided to produce a control guide for the WFT.
