User Guide

Welcome to the Phonak world of digital communication!
Congratulations on choosing a Phonak digital hearing system. Your new SoundPilot2
remote control is a very important part of it.
SoundPilot2 is a small, elegant and user-friendly remote control which offers you
"binaural" access to all the functions of your digital hearing computers as well as the
opportunity for easy management of your hearing programs. Binaural means that the
SoundPilot2 always tunes both of your instruments in the same way, maintaining
hearing balance at all times.
SoundPilot2 is a quality Swiss-made product from Phonak. Please read this manual
carefully to benefit from all the possibilities of your new digital hearing system.
Phonak – the leader in Hearing Technology!

indicator is then visible.

The SoundPilot2 remote control is designed to be used from approximately one arm’s
length.
Communication between the SoundPilot2 and your hearing instrument will function
best if you hold the remote control in your hand, as illustrated. You do not have to
point the remote at the hearing instrument. Placing the remote control directly against
or too close to the instrument may decrease the remote’s effectiveness.
