You can have up to 3 Cochlear streaming devices set up for 
your sound processor. Each Cochlear streaming device is 
indicated in the display by the letter A, B or C. If more than 
one Cochlear streaming device is in use, press the streaming 
button again until the desired audio signal is heard.

When in streaming mode, both the sound processor’s volume 
(left volume bar) and the streamed audio volume (right 
volume bar) are by default set to “active”. This is indicated in 
the display by the two arrows (< and >) located next to the 
volume bars. To adjust both the sound processor and the 
streamed audio volume simultaneously, press the “+” or “-” 
key [no. 6 or 7 in figure 1] on the Remote Control.

Note: If you are using two sound processors, any volume 
adjustments will apply to both of them. It is also possible 
to make individual volume adjustments for the sound 
processors and the streamed audio signal respectively.

To adjust the sound processor volume, press the left “<” key 
on the keypad [no. 8 in figure 1] once. The two arrows “<>” 
next to the hearing instrument volume bar and the “streamed 
audio” volume bar will be dimmed. Press “+” or “-” [no. 6 or 
7 in figure 1] to adjust hearing instrument volume. To return 
to simultaneous adjustment mode, press the “>” key [no. 9 in 
figure 1] on the keypad until one arrow appears next to each 
volume bar in the display, indicating that both volume levels 
are “active”.

To adjust the streamed audio volume, press the right “>” 
key on the keypad [no. 9 in figure 1] once. The two arrows 
“<>” next to the streamed volume bar and the “hearing 
instrument” volume bar will be dimmed. Press “+” or “-” [no. 
6 or 7 in figure 1] to adjust the streamed audio volume. To 
return to simultaneous adjustment mode, press the “<” key 
[no. 8 in figure 1] on the keypad until one arrow appears next 
to each volume bar in the display, indicating that both volume 
levels are “active”.

The volume adjustment will apply to the streamed audio 
signal only. If necessary, adjust the volume using the “+” and 
“-” keys [no. 6 or 7 in figure 1]. The volume of the streamed 
audio signal can also be adjusted individually for the left and 
right sound processors by pressing < or > [no. 8 or 9 in figure 
1]. To stop streaming and return to the previous program, 
press the “P” button [no. 10 in figure 1]. Alternatively, press the 
Home button [no. 4 in figure 1], which will reset your sound 
processor to its default settings (see the section “Return 
to Home settings”) and also reset the Remote Control to 
simultaneous adjustment mode.

The Phone Clip also works with the Remote Control. The 
display will indicate when the Phone Clip is in use. Once the 
phone call has ended, the sound processor will return to 
the previously used program. That program is shown on the 
display of the Remote Control. Volume adjustments made 
during the phone call will not be transferred to your previously 
used program. Phone calls will temporarily interrupt 
streaming from your optional streaming devices but streamed 
audio will be restored once the phone call has ended.

If you have been fitted with two sound processors, it 
is recommended that both of them be set to the same 
program at all times. However, it is possible to have different 
programs on the two sound processors, such as Program 
1 on the left side and streamed audio on the right. Under 
these circumstances, the remote control functions slightly 
differently, as the following examples illustrate.

Situation #1:

 You have started with P1 on both sides but 

have changed the right side to P2 by pushing the button on 
the right sound processor. If you then press the P button on 
the remote control, the left sound processor will advance to 
P2, matching the one on the right. Further presses of the P 
button will advance both sound processors, thus keeping the 
same program on both sides.

Situation #2:

 You have set the left sound processor 

to P1 and the right sound processor to P2. If you then press 
the Streaming button, both sound processors will receive 
streamed audio from the same source (e.g., the TV). If you 
then press the P button on the remote control, streaming will 
be cancelled on both sides and both sound processors will 
return to their previous programs (P1 and P2).

Situation #3:

 You have P1 on the left side but have 

started streaming on the right side by pressing and holding 
the button on the right sound processor. If you then press 
the P button on the Remote Control, streaming on the right 
side will be cancelled and both sound processors will return 
to P1. If you press the Streaming button instead, both sound 
processors will be set to the same streamed audio program. 

Situation #4:

 If your sound processors are using different 

sound processor programs, only the program numbers for 
each sound processor will be shown. No program label/name 
will be shown.

Situation #5:

 If one sound processor is in streaming 

mode and the other one is in one of the sound processor 
programs, only the streaming display will be shown with no 
indication of the sound processor’s program number and 
label/name.  

 

To adjust volume on the right side only, first press the “>” key 
on the keypad [no. 9 in figure 1]. Doing so makes the right side 
“active” and the left side “inactive”. This is indicated by a right 
arrowhead (>) in the display with the left arrowhead turned 
off. Press “+” or “-” to adjust volume on the right side only.

To return to simultaneous adjustment mode, press either the 
< or > keys on the keypad [no. 8 or 9 in figure 1] until both 
arrowheads appear in the display, indicating that both sound 
processors are again “active”.

Note: Mute/Unmute: Mute and unmute the sound 
processors’ microphones by pressing the mute button [no. 
5 in fig 1] on the Remote Control.

Muting or unmuting applies to both sound processors 
simultaneously and cannot be selected for the left or right 
one separately. When the microphones are muted, the 
microphone icon will be replaced by a microphone muted 
icon and the volume bars will be dimmed. To unmute the 
sound processor microphones, press the mute button again.

, input from these devices can be activated 

by pressing the streaming button no. 3 in figure 1. See also the 
section “Using optional audio streaming devices”.

Home settings, i.e., those that apply whenever the sound 
processor is first turned on, are activated by pressing the 
Home button [no. 4 in figure 1]. Pressing the Home button 
will:

1.  Activate program 1 in your sound processor

2.  Adjust your sound processor to the default volume settings

3.  Set the volume to simultaneous adjustment mode

The home button will also terminate any streamed audio 
signals from any optional Cochlear streaming device.

The battery level of the Remote Control is indicated by 
a battery meter comprising three bars. As the battery is 
gradually depleted the bars will disappear one by one. When 
the battery is low on power, the meter will start flashing, 
indicating that recharging is needed.

When the sound processor’s battery is almost flat, you may 
still be able to use it, but the Remote Control functionality 
may be disabled. Should this happen, we recommend you 
replace the battery in your sound processor.

The operating range between the Remote Control and the 
sound processor is approximately 1 meter (40”). If the current 
status is not displayed on the Remote Control, hold Remote 
Control it in front of your chest as shown in the illustration.

If the Remote Control cannot determine the sound 
processor’s status, search icons will appear on its display. 
Hold the Remote Control as shown above to establish 
contact with both sound processors.

To conserve battery life, the Remote Control has a power 
saving feature that automatically turns off the display and 
puts the Remote Control in standby mode after 20 seconds 
of inactivity. Simply press any button on the keypad to 
reactivate the display and then perform the desired action.

The Remote Control performs best when buttons are pressed 
one step at a time rather than in rapid sequence. When 
adjusting volume, for example, briefly press a button as 
described below and wait for the tone before continuing. 
This tip applies to all button use but is especially relevant to 
volume adjustments.

Pairing is the process of establishing communication between 
your sound processor and your Remote Control. Your hearing 
care professional can help you with this procedure when 
fitting your sound processor. Alternatively, you can follow the 
steps below to pair your sound processor with the Remote 
Control: 

1.  Make sure the Remote Control is fully charged and is 

turned on.

2.  Turn off your sound processor.

3.  Press the pairing button on the Remote Control once. This 

will activate the pairing mode 

which will be active for 

20 seconds.

4.  While pairing mode is activated, turn on your sound 

processor. Successful pairing will be indicated by an audible 
melody played in your sound processor and program 1 will 
be shown as active in the Remote Control display 

. You 

are now ready to use the Remote Control. 

The TV Streamer and the Mini Microphone are optional 
audio and speech streaming devices available for your sound 
processor. The TV Streamer streams audio signals (stereo) 
from your TV, stereo, computer, etc., directly to your sound 
processor.
