Introduction
Purpose of this guide
This user guide helps recipients, parents and carers understand how to
use and maintain the Cochlear™Nucleus®CR110 Remote Assistant. It
provides instructions for using the remote assistant to communicate
with the Cochlear™Nucleus®CP810 Sound Processor.
The CP810 and CR110 Troubleshooting Guide provided with your
processor documentation helps you identify and troubleshoot your
remote assistant.
Cochlear Nucleus CR110 Remote Assistant
Your Cochlear Nucleus CR110 Remote Assistant is a hand-held remote
control that enables you to communicate with your Cochlear Nucleus
CP810 Sound Processor. It can also receive communication from
your processor. If you have two processors, your remote assistant can
communicate with both processors. For more information on the CP810
Sound Processor, refer to the CP810 Sound Processor User Guide.
You can use your remote assistant to control the functions and settings
of your processor. It provides easy access to key information on the
status of your processor (e.g. processor battery status). You can also use
your remote assistant to troubleshoot your processor.

Getting to know your remote assistant
195993 Iss3 CR110 user guide 01.nu.indd 10 13/05/2009 5:11:23 PM

Getting started
This section helps you get started with your new remote assistant. It
explains:
How to charge your remote assistant battery.•
How to turn your remote assistant on and off.•
How to lock and unlock your remote assistant keypad.•
Charging and recharging your remote assistant
battery
Your remote assistant has a non-removable rechargeable battery.
Charging your remote assistant battery for the first time
Cochlear recommends that you fully charge the battery before using
your remote assistant for the first time. It may take approximately 2 to
4 hours to fully charge a completely empty battery. As the battery ages,
it may take longer to fully charge the battery.
Recharging your remote assistant battery
A fully charged battery should provide you with approximately 1 to 2
weeks of battery life. Battery life, however, may vary depending on:
How often and how long you use your remote assistant.•
Whether you turn off your remote assistant when not in use.•
Whether your remote assistant is controlling one or two•
processors.

195993 Iss3 CR110 user guide 01.nu.indd 11 13/05/2009 5:11:32 PM

When to recharge your remote assistant battery
Charge the battery:
When the remote assistant• battery status screen shows that
the battery is low. When you turn on your remote assistant,
the battery status screen displays after it displays the start-up
(Cochlear logo) screen. The less white you see on the battery icon,
the less charge you have. The remote assistant keypad lock/unlock
screen also indicates battery status. For more information, see
Locking and unlocking yourrem ote assistantkeypad.
Figure 4: Battery status screen showing battery is fully charged
Once a week, even if your remote assistant does not indicate that•
the battery is low or empty.
It is recommended that you follow these guidelines to maximise the life
expectancy of the remote assistant battery.
Recommended temperature range for recharging the battery
To fully charge the remote assistant battery, recharge the battery at a
temperature range of 15 ºC (59 ºF) to 29 ºC (84 ºF). If the temperature
range is lower [between -2.5 ºC (28 ºF) and 15 ºC (59 ºF)] or higher
[between 29 ºC (84 ºF) and 52 ºC (126 ºF)], only 75 to 80 percent of the
battery will be charged. If the temperature is too high [over 52 ºC (126
ºF)] or too low [below -2.5 ºC (28 ºF)], the battery will not charge.
You can operate your remote assistant at any temperature range.

Using your remote assistant
This section describes how to use your remote assistant. It describes:
How to hold and operate your remote assistant.•
How to access and perform key functions.•

The indicator lights on your remote assistant and what they mean.•
Holding and operating your remote assistant
To optimise communication between your remote assistant and your

you.
Figure 11: Holding the remote assistant in the palm of the hand
• Keep your remote assistant and your processor within two meters
(approximately 6 feet) of each other. Operating it at a greater
distance may result in either increased delay between processor
and remote assistant response time, or loss of communication.
Hold or position your remote assistant on the same side of the•
body as your processor (if communicating with one processor),
or between the two processors (if communicating with two
processors).
It is not necessary to point your remote assistant at your processor.•
When your processor is within operating distance of your remote
assistant and they are communicating, the indicator light on your
remote assistant is a steady blue.
