Pairing the remote control
with your hearing aids

The remote control is a personal device intended to be
used with one set of hearing aids. The remote control
can operate up to two hearing aids at a time after pairing.

Before the remote control can be used with your hearing
aids, the devices need to be paired.

You can choose to pair the remote control with either
two hearing aids at the same time or with one hearing
aid at a time. You need to repeat the pairing process if
you choose to pair your hearing aids one at a time.
In the following instructions, a set of hearing aids is
being paired with the remote control.
