5.1 RemoteMic and phone calls

Phone calls via Bluetooth will always take priority 
over the RemoteMic streaming.

If ComPilot is paired and connected to your mobile 
phone, you can still receive phone calls, even when 
using RemoteMic. In case of an incoming call, ComPilot 
automatically stops transmitting the audio signal  
from your RemoteMic and sends the signal from your 
mobile phone to your hearing aids instead.
