Getting Started
Charging the Battery and General Battery Information
1
The AB myPilot has an internal
rechargeable battery. To charge it, connect
the charging cable to the AB myPilot.
For safety reasons, recharge the battery only with chargers supplied by Advanced Bionics.
During the charging process, the battery symbol on the Home screen will flash. Once the
battery is fully charged, the battery symbol will stop flashing and remain visible.
Charging an empty battery typically takes about 90 minutes. It is safe to leave the charger
connected overnight—the battery cannot be overcharged.
When charging the AB myPilot for the first time, leave it to charge for five hours, even if the
battery symbol stops flashing.
A new battery's full performance is achieved only after two or three complete charge and
discharge cycles.
The AB myPilot battery can be charged hundreds of times. If the operating time of the AB
myPilot reduces substantially, please contact a hearing care professional or Advanced Bionics.

Plug the other end of the charging
cable into a power outlet. Do not use
the AB myPilot while charging.
