Congratulations on choosing a digital hearing system
from Phonak. Your new myPilot is a very important part
of it. myPilot is an elegant and user-friendly remote
control and status reader which gives you access to all
functions of your digital hearing system. Furthermore,
it guarantees easy management of your hearing
programs with visual confirmation on a state-of-the-
art color display.
You can use myPilot to tune both of your hearing
instruments simultaneously. Or you can control both
hearing instruments individually, allowing you to
perfectly fine-tune your hearing instruments to any
specific hearing situation.

During the charging process, the battery symbol on
the Home screen is blinking. Once the battery is fully
charged, the battery symbol will stop flashing and
remain visible.
Charging an empty battery typically takes about
90 minutes. It is safe to leave the charger connected
overnight—the battery cannot be overcharged.
When charging myPilot for the first time, leave
it to charge for five hours, even if the battery
symbol stops flashing.
A new battery’s full performance is achieved only
after two or three complete charge and discharge
cycles.
The myPilot battery can be charged hundreds of
times. If the operating time of your myPilot reduces
substantially, please contact your hearing care
professional.
