The system consists of three main elements:
the RemoteMic, your Phonak hearing aids and a
streaming device, such as Phonak ComPilot.
The RemoteMic transmits the speaker’s voice wirelessly
to your hearing aids via the Phonak streaming device.
The hearing aid microphones will automatically be
attenuated while the RemoteMic signal is being received.
The level of attenuation is set by your hearing care
professional.

2.2 Compatibility note
In addition to your Phonak wireless hearing aids, a
compatible streaming device is required. In this user
guide, the ComPilot is given as an example.
As the RemoteMic is based on Bluetooth® technology,
other Bluetooth receivers may be compatible. RemoteMic,
however, is only optimized and tested for Phonak
streaming devices. The Bluetooth pairing code of the
RemoteMic is “0000” (four zeros).
2. Getting to know your RemoteMic
The Bluetooth® word mark and logos are registered trademarks owned
by Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and any use of such marks by Phonak is under license.
Other trademarks and trade names are those of their respective owners.

2.3 Streaming stability note
The Bluetooth connection range between the RemoteMic
and your ComPilot can be up to 20 meters (60ft).
The range may be reduced when the signal is obstructed
by obstacles such as walls or the human body.
The best results can therefore be achieved when using
the RemoteMic in the line of sight to the ComPilot.
If the audio transmission is interrupted, reduce
the distance, avoid obstacles or try to change the
orientation of the devices.

3. Getting started
Step 1. Charging the RemoteMic
Your RemoteMic has a built-in, non-removable,
rechargeable battery.
I When charging your RemoteMic for the first time,
let it charge for at least three hours, even if the
battery status light is not lit or turns green earlier.
To charge it:
1. Take the Phonak power supply from the ComPilot.
2. Plug the power supply into a power socket.
3. Plug the mini-USB plug into the RemoteMic
mini-USB socket.
4. The typical charging time is 2 hours.
5. Charging is complete when the status light
turns solid green.
