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 similar object. See figure
5. The LED will flash yellow every two seconds and the device will now be in pairing mode for 20 seconds.
6. While pairing mode is active, turn on your sound processor.
   The 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 submenus, 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
   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 the 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.

Operating time

Battery consumption and the operating time of your Phone Clip depend greatly on how the device is used.
Your Phone Clip battery can be recharged hundreds of times.
If the operating time becomes noticeably shorter, please contact your hearing care professional.

Wearing your Phone Clip
Clip your Phone Clip on your clothing so that the microphone faces upwards. This ensures that the microphones in the Phone Clip are placed optimally to pick up your voice during phone calls.
The Phone Clip has a swivel clip to ensure that you can always place it so that the microphone faces upwards towards your mouth.
For optimal voice pickup, keep the device within a range of 10- 30 cm from your mouth.
Light indicators (LED)
The LED at the top of your Phone Clip serves as a multipurpose user interface, providing information on the status of your device.

Bluetooth Operating Range

Your phone clip supports Bluetooth operation up to a range of approximately 10 meters. Line-of-sight between the devices is not required. However, the following factors may  affect the maximum range:

• Ambient interference
• The mobile phone’s range may be less than the 10 meters supported by the Phone Clip

If your mobile phone moves out of range, the connection will be broken. If the device is moved within range again, the Phone clip will attempt to re- establish the connection. Whether this is successful will depend on the length of time since the link was broken and on the mobile phone’s properties.
