Operating Range

The AB myPilot functions as a remote control (e.g. for setting volume, sensitivity, and selecting
different hearing programs, etc). Remote control operating range is about 23" (60 cm).
Additionally, it is capable of reading status information from the Naída CI (e.g. battery status,
programs). Status readout operating range is about 12" (30 cm).
Note that placing the AB myPilot within a ½" (1cm) range of the Naída CI will cause the Naída
CI to lose connection with the AB myPilot and/or ComPilot and enter error mode. The Naída
CI will show a solid red LED and will not stimulate the implant while in this mode. 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 then reattaching the PowerCel) in order for the AB
myPilot to resume communication with the Naída CI.
Also, if a powered AB myPilot is placed too close to a C1 implant (for example, if a recipient has
an older implant on their other ear), the AB myPilot will cause the C1 implant to temporarily
lose lock—although it will quickly relock without manual intervention from the recipient. The
Naída CI will automatically relock once the AB myPilot is moved away.

Pairing the AB myPilot

In order for the AB myPilot to control the Naída CI(s), they must be paired. The AB myPilot may
be unpaired and paired to multiple Naída CIs, which allows one AB myPilot to be used with all
Naída CI recipients in a classroom. This is also a convenient feature for caregivers with several
