NEVER use rechargeable coin cell batteries or other battery types. 2 NUCLEUS 7 REMOTE CONTROL USER GUIDEDRAFT ONLY FOR USABILITY TESTING Travel Your remote control transmits high frequency radio waves when switched on. Switch it off before takeoff and landing. 3 NUCLEUS 7 REMOTE CONTROL USER GUIDEDRAFT ONLY FOR USABILITY TESTING Pair Pairing allows two devices to communicate with each other. Your clinician may have already paired your remote control with your processor. If not, you will need to pair it the first time you use it. If your remote control is not paired to any processor, it displays dashes (shown left) and blinks when you press buttons. Pair your processor and remote control 1. Turn on your processor and remote control. They must both be awake and on at all times while pairing. 2. Place the coil on the back of your remote control. 4 NUCLEUS 7 REMOTE CONTROL USER GUIDEDRAFT ONLY FOR USABILITY TESTING 3. The remote control will show pairing in progress. 4. The remote control then shows successful pairing of either left (L) or right(R) processor. 5. If you have two processors (bilateral), repeat steps 2-4 for your second processor. 5 NUCLEUS 7 REMOTE CONTROL USER GUIDEDRAFT ONLY FOR USABILITY TESTING Wireless accessories If you use Cochlear True Wireless Accessories with your processor, your remote control can be used to control the wireless accessory and monitor its status. NOTE Before you can stream audio, you must first pair the wireless accessory to your processor. See the True Wireless Accessories User Guide for details. To use a Mini Microphone or TV Streamer 1. To start streaming audio, long-press the telecoil button. The accessory icon will appear. TIP You can long-press the telecoil button again to select the next paired wireless accessory. 2. To stop streaming audio, short-press the telecoil button. The accessory icon will disappear. NOTE You use the controls on the Phone Clip to make and receive calls. 6 NUCLEUS 7 REMOTE CONTROL USER GUIDEDRAFT ONLY FOR USABILITY TESTING Telecoil Your clinician can set up your processor with manual telecoil so you can listen to room hearing loops. You can not use telecoil at the same time as a wireless accessory. NOTE We recommend you use a Cochlear Wireless Phone Clip to make phone calls. See the True Wireless Accessories User Guide. Turn telecoil on (if set up) 1. Short-press the telecoil button once. The telecoil icon will appear. Turn telecoil off 1. Short-press the telecoil button once. The telecoil icon will disappear. 7 NUCLEUS 7 REMOTE CONTROL USER GUIDEDRAFT ONLY FOR USABILITY TESTING Other information Physical configuration The remote control comprises:

The link uses a proprietary bidirectional communication protocol and operates over a distance of up to 2 metres from the processor. The wireless communication link continuously switches between the 4 channels to avoid interference on any specific channel. The remote control indicates via its display when the processor is out of operating distance (or switched off) or when the link is interrupted due to broad spectrum interference (see page 7). Environmental protection Your remote control contains electronic components subject to the Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment. Help protect the environment by not disposing of your remote control or batteries with your unsorted household waste. Please recycle your remote control and batteries according to your local regulations. 10 NUCLEUS 7 REMOTE CONTROL USER GUIDEDRAFT ONLY FOR USABILITY TESTING Certification and applied standards The Nucleus 7 Remote Control fulfils the essential requirements listed in Annex 1 of the EC directive 90/385/EEC on Active Implantable Medical Devices as per the conformity assessment procedure in Annex 2.
