When to recharge your remote assistant battery

Charge the battery:

When the remote assistant • battery status screen shows that

the battery is low. When you turn on your remote assistant,

the battery status screen displays after it displays the start-up

(Cochlear logo) screen. The less white you see on the battery icon,

the less charge you have. The remote assistant keypad lock/unlock

screen also indicates battery status. For more information, see

Locking and unlocking your rem ote assistant keypad.

Once a week, even if your remote assistant does not indicate that •

the battery is low or empty.

It is recommended that you follow these guidelines to maximise the life

expectancy of the remote assistant battery.

Recommended temperature range for recharging the battery

To fully charge the remote assistant battery, recharge the battery at a

temperature range of 15 ºC (59 ºF) to 29 ºC (84 ºF). If the temperature

range is lower [between -2.5 ºC (28 ºF) and 15 ºC (59 ºF)] or higher

[between 29 ºC (84 ºF) and 52 ºC (126 ºF)], only 75 to 80 percent of the

battery will be charged. If the temperature is too high [over 52 ºC (126

ºF)] or too low [below -2.5 ºC (28 ºF)], the battery will not charge.

You can operate your remote assistant at any temperature range.
