Introduction
The Cochlear
™
Wireless Phone Clip will allow you to connect
your wireless Cochlear
™
Sound Processor to Bluetooth
®
-
enabled mobile phones. This enables clear and trouble-free
phone connectivity, whether you are at home, in the office
or on the move.
When used with a Cochlear

Baha
®
Sound Processor, the
Phone Clip also doubles as a basic remote control making it
possible for you to adjust the volume of your sound processor
and toggle through programs when you are not talking on
the phone**.
You can also chose to mute your sound processor microphone
to shut out ambient sound while you are talking on the phone
or when using the Phone Clip as a remote control**.
Please read this manual carefully to fully benefit from the

Getting Started
Charging the Battery
See figure
2
Before using your Phone Clip for the first time:
•
Charge the battery fully for at least 3 hours, even if battery
indicators indicate it is fully charged (see the section “Light
indicators”).
•
During the charging process, the LED indicator will glow
red. When fully charged and still connected to the charger,
the LED will glow green with intermittent red flashes every
2 seconds.
•
Charging a flat battery takes around 3 hours. The charger
can be connected overnight; the battery cannot be
overcharged.
•
For safety reasons, recharge the battery only with chargers
supplied by Cochlear.
Caution: Do not charge the Phone Clip while it is
being worn.
Turning your Phone Clip on and off
Turning your Phone Clip on or off:
•
On: slide the switch to the on position; the LED indicator
will flash green every 2.5 seconds.
•
Off: slide switch to the off position; the LED will stop
flashing
If the battery level is low the LED will flash yellow every 2
seconds indicating that the unit should be recharged.
Pairing to Cochlear Sound Processors
Pairing the Phone Clip
1. Turn off your Cochlear sound processor(s).
2. Turn on your Phone Clip.
3. Remove the silver cap from the Phone Clip.
4. Press the pairing button once using the tip of a pen or

See figure

. The LED will flash yellow
every two seconds and the device will now be in pairing
mode for 20 seconds.
5. While pairing mode is active, turn on your sound processor.
Successful pairing will be indicated by either an audible
melody played in the sound processor, or by a flashing light
on the sound processor (depending on the type of sound
processor).
Bluetooth
®
Pairing
If your mobile phone is Bluetooth
®
-enabled and supports the
appropriate profiles, it can communicate with the Phone Clip
only after completing two simple procedures: pairing and
connecting.
The pairing procedure allows you to control which Bluetooth
®
devices can communicate with each other. Pairing only
needs to be done once for each device to be used with your
phone clip.
You can pair up to 8 Bluetooth
®
devices with the Phone Clip,
but only 2 such devices can be connected/active at a time.
The pairing procedure is described in the following section.
Once a mobile phone has been paired with the Phone Clip,
the connection procedure configures the device to output
its audio signal through the Bluetooth
®
connection. This
procedure is also described in the following section.
Pairing with your mobile phone
The pairing procedure is controlled by your mobile phone.
Different mobile phones have their own menu structures.
Refer to your phone’s manual if you cannot complete the
pairing procedure with the generic steps described here.
1. Turn your Phone Clip on and remove the silver cap. Place
your mobile phone next to the Phone Clip, and make sure
your phone is on.
2. Find the connectivity settings on your phone. Look for the
“Bluetooth” feature in the main menu or one of the sub-
menus, such as “Connectivity”.
3. On your mobile phone, ensure that Bluetooth is turned on.
4. With the tip of a pen or similar object, press the small
blue Bluetooth pairing button on the back of your Phone
Clip once.
See figure
4
. The Phone Clip will now be in
Bluetooth pairing mode for two minutes.
5. Search for Bluetooth devices on the mobile phone.
6. Your mobile phone should present a list of Bluetooth
devices discovered. Select “Hearing Aid Phone” from
this list.
7. Your mobile phone may then ask you to enter a passcode. If
so, enter “0000” (four zeros).
Your Phone Clip should now be paired to your mobile phone.
Some mobile phones may ask which Bluetooth service you
wish to enable. Select “Headset”.
Connecting
Once your mobile phone and Phone Clip are paired, the
mobile phone may need to be connected before it will actually
send the appropriate audio signals.
This function should also appear in your mobile phone’s
“Bluetooth” menu, usually under a list of “Paired devices.” In
that list, highlight your Phone Clip and select “Connect.”
When your Phone Clip and mobile phone are connected,
you may see a headset symbol on the phone’s display.
See
figure
5
.
The connection between the Phone Clip and the mobile
phone will be maintained for as long as both devices are
turned on and remain within range of each other. If either
device is switched off or gets out of range, you may have to
perform the connection procedure again.
Some phones allow for “Automatic reconnection.” We
recommend that you activate this feature if it is available.
Refer to your mobile phone’s manual for instructions.
