Made for iPhone MFi
Your sound processor is a Made for iPhone (MFi)
hearing device. This allows you to control your
sound processor and stream audio directly from
iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. For full compatibility

Talk on the phone
For best results, use a Cochlear Wireless Phone

your iPhone. When using a normal handheld
phone, place the receiver near the microphone
inlet of your sound processor instead of near

Battery life

Batteries should be replaced as needed just as you
would with any other electronic device. Battery life
varies according to the programs used each day,
the sound environment use of wireless accessories,
and the size of battery.
The rechargeable battery's lifespan is at least 365
charge cycles. A completely empty rechargeable
battery will take approximately four hours to
recharge.
Rechargeable batteries may take longer to fully
recharge with age. To get the longest life from the
rechargeable batteries, always recharge before use.
When there is approximately one hour of battery
power remaining, you will hear an audio indicator
comprising of two sets of four short beeps, and
the visual indicator will flash repeatedly. At this
time you may experience low amplification. If
the battery runs down completely, the sound
processor will beep and then stop working.
The average battery lifetime is typically 13-32
hours, depending on size of battery, streaming,
sound environment and gain settings.
