Description
Protective case
A special protective case is provided to securely
store your Audéo YES instruments and batteries.
Store your Audéo YES in their protective case when
not in use and leave the battery compartment in
the OFF position (as described on page 20) to allow
any moisture to evaporate. Remove the batteries
if you will not be using them for an extended period
of time.

Preparation
Replacing the battery
Using the nail grip, open the battery compartment
completely and remove the old battery.
Remove the
protective foil
from the new
battery. Wait for
two minutes
before inserting it.
Preparation
Insert the new battery with the “+” sign (flat side of
the battery) in line with the correct battery orientation
marked in the battery compartment and close it.
Replacing the battery
Handle the battery compartment with care and
do not use excessive force.
If there is any resistance when shutting the
compartment, ensure that the battery is inserted
correctly.
10
The compartment may not close properly if the
battery is upside down and the instrument will
not work.
When your Audéo YES is not in use, leave the
battery compartment open to allow any moisture
to evaporate.
Low battery warning
An acoustic signal gives you an early warning
that the battery is approaching exhaustion.
Usually you have at least 30 minutes to replace
the battery. With very high quality batteries,
this reserve may be much higher and Audéo YES will
repeat the low battery warning approximately
every 30 minutes.
Please note that the battery consumption increases
with regular use of the myPilot command center or
the iCom communication interface.
11
Preparation
Identifying left and right Audéo YES
It is important to use the correct Audéo YES for each ear.
Your hearing care professional can mark them for you
with a color code placed in the battery compartment.
The color code is visible when the battery compartment
is opened.
It will identify left and right instruments as follows:
blue =
left Audéo YES
12
red =
right Audéo YES
Inserting Audéo YES
with xReceiver
and dome into your ear
Open domes
햲
Place the Audéo YES over the top of your ear 햲.
13
Preparation
햳
Hold the xReceiver
where it attaches to
the dome 햳 and
gently push the dome
into your ear canal.
햴
The dome should be
placed far enough into
the ear so that the
wire of the xReceiver
lies flush with your head 햴.
14
Closed domes
The closed dome consists of two fins overlapping each
other. Before inserting the closed dome into the ear
canal, it is important to check the position of these fins.
The bigger fin must be positioned over the smaller
fin, see picture 햲. If the position is incorrect 햳, you
can easily adjust it. With one finger, just bend
smoothly the bigger fin forwards and then back again so
that it is overlapping the smaller one, see picture 햴.
Make sure also that the slit of the closed dome is in a
horizontal position on the tube unit, as shown in
picture 햲.
Your xReceiver with closed dome is ready to be
inserted into the ear, refer to page 13.
In very rare cases, the dome can remain in the
ear canal when removing the micro tube from
the ear. In the unlikely case that any parts remain
in the ear canal, it is strongly recommended to
see a medical specialist for safe removal.

16
Inserting Audéo YES with Shell
Using the hand on the same side you wear your
hearing system, grasp the shell between your thumb
and index finger.
햲
Raise your hand to your ear making sure the canal
end of the shell faces your ear. Tilt your hand slightly
forward 햲.
17
Preparation
Insert the canal end of the shell into your ear canal.
Tug gently on your ear lobe and push the hearing
system into the correct position 햳.
햳
18
Now position the hearing system behind your ear.
Be careful not to twist the tubing 햴.
햴
Check the placement of the
shell by tracing the contour
of the ear with your finger.
19
Operation
Switching On/Off
Switching Off
Using the nail grip,
slightly open the
battery cover until
it snaps into its
OFF position.
Switching On
Close the battery
compartment
by pressing on
the base of
the instrument.
20
Please be aware of that your hearing instrument
takes several seconds to boot up. Your hearing
care professional may have activated a further
delayed activation timer. This function delays the
activation of the hearing system (for 9 or 15
seconds) after the battery door is closed in order
to avoid any disturbance while placing
it on your ear.
An acoustic signal confirms when your hearing
system is switched on.
21
myPilot (optional)
The myPilot command center is an optional accessory
for Audéo YES hearing systems. It allows a convenient,
user-friendly and discreet control of all the functions
of your hearing system and additional benefits.

For optimum results, position your myPilot

Do not use your myPilot in locations where
it is forbidden to use electronic devices.
ZoomControl
This special hearing program allows you to choose from
four directions in which to focus your hearing system
(front, back, left or right). ZoomControl can be accessed
via the myPilot command center only.
23
myPilot (optional)
Fine tuning based on your personal preferences
The fitting process has limited capabilities of
reproducing the full spectrum of your personal sound
environments. This limitation is overcome by the
ability of the Audéo YES hearing system to learn from
your real life volume adjustments. When used with a
myPilot, Audéo YES offers a unique functionality
called “Self Learning”. In every environment, it logs your
personal volume changes within the hearing system.
This means that every time you change the volume of
your Audéo YES hearing system, this correction
is taken into account to apply your preferred volume
automatically when you are in a similar environment
next time.
Self Learning* cleverly ensures that your volume
corrections in each environment contribute to a fully
personalized volume setting.
*Audéo YES III does not have this function
24
iCom (optional)
iCom is an optional accessory available for Audéo YES
hearing systems. Automatically or with the push of a
single button, iCom connects your hearing system with
the technology around you.
Bluetooth connections
iCom offers a simple way to connect your mobile
phone via Bluetooth to your hearing system.
iCom is also capable of transmitting a stereo
audio signal from any Bluetooth enabled device
(built-in or via an adapter) such as MP3 players,
laptops, computers or televisions.
25
iCom (optional)
EasyAudio and EasyBluetooth
Your Audéo YES hearing system contains two special
audio programs: EasyAudio and EasyBluetooth.
These programs are automatically selected in your
hearing system when an audio or Bluetooth signal is
received from iCom. EasyAudio and EasyBluetooth
ensure that you have the optimum program activated
for streaming. An acoustic signal in your Audéo YES
hearing instruments confirms the switch to either
Easy program.
Please refer to the iCom user guide for more information
on the numerous iCom applications.
26
Maintenance
Microphone Protector
Important: The Microphone Protector is an exclusive
Phonak system designed to protect the Audéo YES high
tech microphones from debris. The Microphone Protector
can be replaced if needed. Your Audéo YES instruments
should not be used without the Microphone Protector.
Your hearing care professional can tell you whether the
Microphone Protector should be exchanged or not.
27
Maintenance
Important: Consult your Audéo YES specialist about
changing the Microphone Protector if you experience
any of the following:
쐍
쐍
쐍
쐍
28
Audéo YES sounds quieter than usual.
There is a reduction in sound quality.
Understanding in noise becomes more difficult.
It becomes more difficult to determine the
direction of sounds.
Important points
1) Always use new batteries for your Audéo YES
hearing system. You can return empty batteries to
your hearing care professional.
2) When your hearing system is not in use, leave the
battery compartment open to allow any moisture to
evaporate.
3) If you will not be using your hearing system for
a long period of time, store it in its protective case.
Remove the batteries and leave the battery
compartments open. Make sure your hearing system
is completely dry before closing the case.
4) Protect your hearing system from excessive moisture
and heat. Always remove it before showering,
bathing or swimming. Do not leave the hearing
system near windows or in a car. Avoid strong jolts
and vibration.
29
Maintenance
5) Daily cleaning and the use of a drying system is
highly recommended. "C&C line" from Phonak is a
complete set of cleansing products. Your hearing
care professional will be glad to advise you.
Never use household cleaning products (washing
powder, soap, etc.) to clean your hearing system.
6) Hair spray, face creams and make-up can damage
hearing systems. Remove the hearing system
before applying cosmetics.
7) If you experience any soreness or inflammation
in or behind your ear, contact your hearing care
professional.
8) If your hearing system fails to operate after you
have correctly inserted new batteries, contact your
hearing care professional for advice. Please remember
to bring your accessories (e.g. myPilot, iCom) together
with your hearing system for service enquiries.
30
The symbol with the crossed out disposal bin
indicates that this hearing system shall not be
treated as household waste. Please hand over
your old or unused hearing system to the
applicable collection point for the recycling of
electrical and electronic equipment or bring it
to your hearing care professional for appropriate
disposal.
By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly,
you will help prevent potential negative effects
on the environment and human health.
31
Warning
Hearing system batteries are toxic when swallowed!
Keep them out of reach of children and pets. If
batteries are swallowed, please seek the advice of
a medical practitioner!
Only use hearing systems that have been specially
programmed for you by a hearing care professional.

adversely affect the correct functioning of your
system. We recommend that you remove them
before undergoing X-ray procedures and keep them
outside the room.
