implanted children. They would only need one AB myPilot to have remote control access for
everyone.
The pairing process must be activated by the recipient and the Naída CI must be put in a pairing
state. The system is intentionally designed this way to ensure that a Naída CI's settings cannot
be changed by an unpaired AB myPilot. Naída CI setting changes are therefore deliberate and
done by either the recipient or the recipient's caregiver.
The AB myPilot must be paired to the Naída CI during the first five minutes of the Naída CI
starting up. This time period is referred to as the Pairing Window and it begins as soon as the
PowerCel, Zn-Air Battery Pak, or Power Adapter is attached to the Naída CI.
After the five-minute Pairing Window closes, pairing is no longer possible. If you attempt to
pair after the Pairing Window closes, no Naída CIs will be listed in the Pairing Window. If the
Pairing Window is still open and the Naída CI is merely out of range, the 'Closer - Try Again'
message will appear on the screen. If no Naída CIs are listed and there is no 'Closer - Try
Again' message, the Pairing Window has likely closed. To reopen the window, remove and then
reattach the Naída CI battery.
Sound input to the Naída CI is not affected during this period. If pairing is not desired, the
recipient can proceed with normal use of the Naída CI.

If you first received the AB myPilot at a hearing professional's office, they may have paired
the AB myPilot to the Naída CI during your visit. If you received the AB myPilot directly from
Advanced Bionics, it will need to be paired to the Naída CI.
Pairing must be completed before the AB myPilot will interact with the Naída CI.

To begin the pairing process, have the Naída CI
you want to pair within 12" (30 cm) of the AB
myPilot. Attach the PowerCel, Zn-Air Battery
Pak, or power adapter to the Naída CI,
commencing the Pairing Window (five minute
time out). If the AB myPilot has never been
paired, upon turning it on, the AB myPilot
screen will read: 'The AB myPilot needs to be
paired with your hearing instruments.'

the main menu.

Select Scan for Devices. The AB myPilot
will then find all the Naída CIs within range.
The AB myPilot will tell you New Pairing
Found and the next screen will display the
Naída CI(s) found, which side they are (left
or right), and the recipient's initials.
If a recipient is bilateral, both Naída CIs can be paired at once.
The message 'New Pairing Found' will only be shown if the Naída CI is not in
NOTE:
the list: 'Pair Device.' If the Naída CI has been previously paired, although it is not
currently paired, it will not be highlighted as a new pairing found.
If there are multiple Naída CIs in the vicinity of the scanning AB myPilot, up to 10 Naída CIs
can be listed in the results of the scan. AB myPilot will automatically pair up to two Naída CIs,
and they must be of the same pairing ID, meaning that they must belong to the same person
and are therefore a left and a right Naída CI. If a recipient has a back-up Naída CI for one ear,
both Naída CIs cannot be paired to the AB myPilot at the same time. For example, two Naída
CIs for the recipient's right ear cannot both be paired to the same AB myPilot at the same time.
No automatic pairing will be performed if the AB myPilot finds more than two Naída CIs
belonging to different pairing IDs.

From the main menu, scroll down to select
Pairing. The only option shown on the pairing
menu will be Scan for Devices.

A check in a green circle indicates that the
Naída CI is paired with the AB myPilot.
