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.

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 white 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.

Figure 4: Battery status screen showing battery is fully charged

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.

You can operate your remote assistant at any temperature range.
