Introduction
Purpose of this guide
This user guide helps recipients, parents and carers understand how to
use and maintain the Cochlear
provides instructions for using the remote assistant to communicate
with the Cochlear
™ Nucleus® CP810 Sound Processor.
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.
™ Nucleus® CR110 Remote Assistant. It
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 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 fi rst time
Cochlear recommends that you fully charge the battery before using
your remote assistant for the fi rst 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.
© Cochlear Limited 2010 CR110 User Guide - 11
Getting started
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 green bars 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 your remote assistant keypad.
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.

Holding and operating your remote assistant
To optimise communication between your remote assistant and your
processor:
Hold your remote assistant in the palm of your hand in front of •
you.
Figure 14: Holding the remote assistant in the palm of the hand
• Keep your remote assistant and your processor within two meters
(approximately six 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 remote assistant is within operating distance of your
processor and they are communicating, the indicator light on your
remote assistant is a steady blue.

Checking the status of your processor
Your remote assistant allows you to check if your processor is
functioning properly. You can also check the status of the processor
battery, and the level of audio input from the microphone, telecoil or
an audio accessory. If you are using more than one source of audio
input (e.g. mix of audio accessory and microphone input), the remote
assistant indicates the level of input from the combined sources.
To view the status of your processor, press the Cochlear key from the
Home screen. The processor status screen displays only when your
remote assistant is paired with your processor.
If your processor is functioning properly, the status screen displays a
green processor icon.

processors at the same time.
When your remote assistant is paired with two processors, the remote
assistant display is divided vertically in two on the following screens:

When you pair two processors, your remote assistant is automatically in
dual control mode.
In dual control mode, you can control both processors at the same time
to:
Change programs.•
Change volume or sensitivity.•
Turn on the telecoil or Auto Telecoil.•
Connect an audio accessory.•
To change these settings, both processors must be on and your remote
assistant must be within operating distance of your processors.
Changes to processor settings (e.g. changes to telecoil and microphone
mixing ratio) affect both processors, regardless of the control mode.
Right or left control modes
Sometimes you may want to change a setting on one processor only.
For example:
Turn on the telecoil or Auto Telecoil on the left processor only.•
Change the volume or sensitivity on the right processor only.•

rubber case into which you can insert the remote assistant. It is
suitable for use by both children and adults, and is available in a
choice of colours. The protective case can be worn around the
neck using the remote assistant lanyard. You can use and charge
the remote assistant while it is in the protective case.
Figure 63: Protective case
When using the remote assistant while it is in a protective case,
you may notice a slight decrease in the operating range. If this
happens, either remove the remote assistant from the case when
using it, or hold the case close to your processor.
When the remote assistant is attached to your belt, certain
arm positions (e.g. arm swinging past the belt when walking)
may affect communication. If this happens, remove the remote
assistant from the case when using it.
Using the remote assistant lanyard
The Cochlear™ Nucleus® CR100 Series Lanyard allows you to wear the
remote assistant around your neck.
You can attach the lanyard to the remote assistant using the hole
located on the back of the remote assistant. When threading the
lanyard, always insert the lanyard loop through the bottom hole, which
is the hole just above the personal identifi cation label.

Checking your processor coil
Your remote assistant has an in-built coil sensor that allows you to
check if the coil connected to your processor is receiving sound signals
from your processor.
To check the coil using the coil sensor:
Remove the coil from the head. Do not use the coil sensor when 1.
the coil is on the head.
Place the coil on the coil sensor guides on the back of the remote 2.
assistant.
If the coil is receiving sound signals from your processor, the coil check
and pair screen displays. This only indicates that the coil is receiving
sound signals and does not confi rm that the coil is functioning properly.
If the coil is not receiving sound signals, the coil check and pair screen
does not display.
Once you move the coil away from your remote assistant, the remote

Technical information
The remote assistant wireless communication link operates in the 2.4
GHz ISM band using GFSK (Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying) on 10
channels. The link uses a proprietary bi-directional communication
protocol and operates over a distance of up to 2m from the CP810
processor. When interference is present, the wireless communication
link switches between the 10 channels to fi nd a channel where the
interference least affects the operation of the link. The remote assistant
indicates via its display and light indicator when the processor is not
within operating distance, and when the link has been interrupted due
to interference. For more information, see Holding and operating your
remote assistant in this user guide.
