Pairing to the AB myPilot. Advanced Bionics Naida CL Q70

Pairing to the AB myPilot

In order for the AB myPilot to control the Naída CI(s), it must be paired to the processor/s. The

AB myPilot may be un-paired and paired to multiple Naída CI processors. This allows one AB myPilot to be used with all Naída CI recipients in a classroom. This may also be convenient for a caregiver with several implanted children. They would only need one AB myPilot to have remote control access to everyone.

The AB myPilot must be paired to your Naída CI within five minutes of the processor starting up. This time period is referred to as the Pairing Window and it begins upon the attachment of the PowerCel or Zn-Air Battery Pak or Power Adapter to the Naída CI.

After the five minute Pairing Window ends, pairing is no longer possible. If you need more time to pair, you must remove and replace the Naída CI battery to begin the Pairing Window again.

Sound input to the processor is not affected during this period. If pairing is not desired, the user can proceed with normal use of the Naída CI during this time.

To Begin Pairing the AB myPilot to the Naída CI:

Make sure a hearing care professional has enabled remote control functionality on the

Naída CI.

Have the Naída CI you want to pair within 11 inches (30 cm) of the AB myPilot remote control.

Attach the PowerCel, Zn-Air Battery Pak, or PowerCel to the Naída CI, commencing the

Pairing Window (five minute time out).

Be advised that placing the AB myPilot within a 0.4 inch (1cm) range of

the Naída CI will cause the Naída CI to lose communication with accessory devices

such as the AB myPilot and/or the ComPilot. At this time, the AB myPilot will not be

able to communicate with the Naída CI. The Naída CI will have to be power cycled

(restarted by removing and replacing the power source) in order for the AB myPilot

to resume communication with the sound processor.

The AB myPilot is intended to work at an arm’s length from the Naída CI.
