Note:
The instructions in this manual describe operation of the Cochlear

Baha
®
Remote
Control with one Cochlear Baha sound processor. If you are a bilateral recipient (using two
Cochlear sound processors), note that one Cochlear Baha Remote Control can be used with
two Baha sound processors. If this is the case, the same instructions apply to both sound
processors.
Introduction
The Cochlear Baha Remote Control will allow you to operate your Cochlear Baha wireless
sound processors. It is both an elegant and user-friendly Remote Control as well as a status
indicator that gives you access to other wireless functions on your sound processor. If you
are using two wireless Baha sound processors, the Cochlear Baha Remote Control can be
used to adjust both of your sound processors simultaneously. Or you can control both sound
processors individually, allowing you to perfectly fine tune your sound processor to any
specific hearing situation.
Please read this manual carefully to fully benefit from the Cochlear Baha Remote Control. Ask
your hearing care professional if you have any questions. For further information you can also
visit the www.cochlear.com web site.
For your safety, carefully read the chapter “Important Information”.

Intended use
The Remote Control is intended to enable the user to control a wireless Baha Sound Processor
remotely. The essential purpose of the Remote Control is to transfer signals to a Baha sound
processor in order to adjust volume and select a program.
Getting Started
Charging the Battery
See figure
2
Before using your Remote Control, the battery must be fully charged. To do so, plug in the
charging cable as shown below. Then plug the other end into a power outlet. During charging,
the battery meter will display one, two or three bars. When fully charged, all three bars will be
shown continuously.
For safety reasons, recharge the battery only with chargers supplied by Cochlear.
Caution: Do not charge the Cochlear Remote Control while it is being worn.
Turning your Remote Control 2 ON and OFF
See figure
1
no. 1
To turn your Remote Control ON slide the ON/OFF control down to the ON position. A white
“I” icon will be visible at the base of the control and the display will turn on. To turn your
Remote Control OFF, slide the ON/OFF control up to the OFF position.
Changing program
See figure
3
The “P” button [no. 10 in figure 1] is used to change the programs that your hearing care
professional has programmed into your sound processor. The name of the program displayed
can be configured by your hearing care professional. Each time you press the “P” button
the program advances one step, returning to program 1 at the end of each cycle (e.g., 1, 2,
3, 1). Each program change is accompanied by beep tones in both sound processors and the
program currently in use is shown in the display. For optimal performance it is recommended
that both sound processors be set to the same program.

Adjusting volume
Adjust volume on two sound processors
See figure
4
The “+” and “-” keys are used to adjust volume [no. 6 and 7 in figure 1]. Volume may be
adjusted on both sound processors simultaneously or on each side independently. By default,
both sound processors are “active,” which is indicated in the display by two arrowheads
(< and >) located next to the volume bars. Both sound processors can simultaneously be
made louder by pressing the “+” key or softer by pressing the “-” key. Each adjustment is
accompanied by beep tones in the sound processors as well as a visual change in the volume
bars shown in the display. The default volume level is indicated by a horizontal green line in
the volume bars.
Adjusting volume on the left sound processor only
See figure
5
To adjust volume on the left side only, first press the “<” key on the keypad [no. 8 in figure 1].
Doing so makes the left sound processor “active” and the right sound processor “inactive”.
This is indicated by a left arrowhead (<) in the display, with the right arrowhead turned off.
Press “+” or “-” to adjust volume on the left sound processor only.
Adjusting volume on the right sound processor only
See figure
6
To adjust volume on the right side only, first press the “>” key on the keypad [no. 9 in figure
1]. Doing so makes the right side “active” and the left side “inactive”. This is indicated by a
right arrowhead (>) in the display with the left arrowhead turned off. Press “+” or “-” to adjust
volume on the right side only.
To return to simultaneous adjustment mode, press either the < or > keys on the keypad [no.
8 or 9 in figure 1] until both arrowheads appear in the display, indicating that both sound
processors are again “active”.
Mute/Unmute
Mute and unmute the sound processors’ microphones by pressing the mute button [no. 5 in
fig 1] on the Remote Control.
Muting or unmuting applies to both sound processors simultaneously and cannot be selected
for the left or right one separately. When the microphones are muted, the microphone
icon will be replaced by a microphone muted icon and the volume bars will be dimmed. To
unmute the sound processor microphones, press the mute button again.
