ii NUCLEUS®7 REMOTE CONTROL USER GUIDE
The Cochlear™Nucleus®7 Remote Control (model number:
CR310) is a hand-held device for controlling the commonly used
functions of your Cochlear Nucleus 7 Sound Processor (model
number: CP1000).
The remote control allows you to:
• change programs
• turn volume or sensitivity (if available) up and down
• turn True Wireless™Accessories on and off
• turn telecoil on and off.
If you have two Nucleus 7 Sound Processors (bilateral), your
remote control can communicate with both processors at once.
This guide is intended for Cochlear implant recipients and their
carers using the Nucleus 7 Sound Processor. For more
information, refer to the Nucleus 7 Sound Processor User Guide.

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.

short-press the telecoil button.
The accessory icon will
disappear.
NOTE
You use the controls on the Phone Clip to make and receive
calls.

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.

Wireless communication link
The remote control wireless communication link operates in
the 2.4 GHz ISM band using GFSK (Gaussian frequency-shift
keying) on 4 channels. 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.
