About this Guide
This guide is intended for use by Cochlear™ Implant recipients using the
Nucleus® 6 System. Use this guide along with your Sound Processor and
Remote Assistant User Guides.
This guide should also be used in conjunction with the User Guide which
was packaged with your Wireless Accessory.
This guide describes how to set up and use your Cochlear™ Wireless
Accessories. Before attempting to set up your new accessory, it is
recommended you read the following section "Wireless accessories" to
help you understand what each accessory does and the two main steps
required to get you up and running.
Wireless accessories

Cochlear Nucleus 6 System by wirelessly transmitting sound from audio
sources to your sound processor.
• The Cochlear Wireless Mini Microphone allows you to hear
better over a distance or in noisy situations
• The Cochlear Wireless TV Streamer transmits sound directly
from your TV, sound system or computer
• The Cochlear Wireless Phone Clip wirelessly connects to

Two steps—pair, stream
Using your wireless accessory for the first time is a two-step process:
Step 1: Pair
Pair your wireless accessory with your sound processor/s so they can
communicate (you only need to do this the first time).
Step 2: Stream
Streaming lets you transmit audio from your wireless accessory to your
sound processor.
A separate section for each wireless accessory tells you how to pair and
stream:
• "Mini Microphone" on page 7
• "TV Streamer" on page 15
• "Phone Clip" on page 22.
NOTE
If your Sound Processor buttons are programmed to adjust volume
and sensitivity (Advanced Mode), you cannot use Option 3 (Sound
Processor) in the streaming steps for your Mini Microphone or TV
Streamer. You will need to use Option 1 or Option 2, which show you
how to stream using your Nucleus CR230 or Nucleus CR210.

restaurants, or when travelling by car or public transport
