Introduction to Bluetooth
What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth provides a way for devices like mobile
telephones, laptops and personal computers to
communicate wirelessly.
Your iCom supports Bluetooth to allow audio to be
wirelessly received from many different audio devices
and transmitted to your hearing instruments. For
example, you can receive mobile phone calls directly
to your hearing instruments or listen to music from
your PC.
For further information about Bluetooth, visit
www.bluetooth.org.
What Bluetooth devices can I use with my iCom?
First, check whether the device you wish to use is
Bluetooth-enabled: Look for the following symbol on
the device or in its user guide.
Second, the possible applications on a Bluetooth-
enabled device is defined by profiles”. The device you
18
wish to use with your iCom must support the
appropriate Bluetooth profiles. These differ depending
on what you want to do with your iCom:
To receive mobile phone calls your mobile phone
must support either the “Handsfree or Headset
profile.
To listen to stereo music from your mobile phone or
PC, it must support the A2DP” / Stereo Headset”
profile.
Look for these informations in your mobile phone's
user guide or via the compatibility guide on
icom.phonak.com
Bluetooth device compatibility
If a problem occurs in the connection between your
device and your iCom, or if you are uncertain regarding
your device’s Bluetooth capabilities, please consult
your device’s user guide or ask the manufacturer.
Introduction to Bluetooth
19
Bluetooth operating range
Your iCom supports Bluetooth operation up to a range
of 10m(30 ft). Line-of-sight between your iCom and
other device is not required. However, the following
factors may affect the range achieved:
Interference in the environment may reduce
the operating range of Bluetooth.
The Bluetooth device with which you are
connecting may support a more limited range
than the 10msupported by the iCom.
If your Bluetooth device moves out of range of your
iCom and has an active audio connection, this
connection will be terminated. If the device is then
moved back into range of your iCom, it may or
may not resume streaming to your hearing instruments.
This depends on the device.
20
Using a Bluetooth device: pairing and connecting
If your device is Bluetooth-enabled and supports the
appropriate profiles, it can communicate with the
iCom only after completing two simple procedures:
Pairing and connecting.
The pairing procedure allows you to control which
Bluetooth devices are permitted to communicate with
each other. It needs to be completed only once for
each device you wish to use with your iCom. The pairing
procedure is described in detail for each of the
Bluetooth device types in the sections which follow.
Once a device is permitted to communicate with the
iCom by the pairing procedure, the connection
procedure configures the device to actually output
its audio signal over the Bluetooth connection. This
procedure is also described in the sections which follow.
Some Bluetooth devices perform the connection
procedure automatically after pairing.
Introduction to Bluetooth
21
Setting up Bluetooth devices
This section describes the pairing and connection
procedure for Bluetooth devices.
Pairing with your mobile phone
As described above, it is only necessary to perform
the pairing procedure once. The pairing procedure
is controlled by your mobile phone. Different mobile
phones have different menu structures. You should
therefore refer to your mobile phone’s user guide or
dealer support if you cannot complete the pairing
procedure with the generic steps described here. On
the Internet, at icom.phonak.com, Phonak also provides
Bluetooth pairing instructions specific to some of the
most popular mobile phone manufacturers.
To pair your iCom and mobile phone:
1. Charge and turn ON both your iCom and mobile
phone. Place them next to each other.
2. Find the connectivity settings of 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 the Bluetooth
feature is turned ON.
4. Initiate the pairing process on your iCom by
pressing the Bluetooth pairing button for about
22
2 seconds until the Bluetooth indicator flashes
blue. Your iCom will remain in the pairing mode for
two minutes or until the pairing is completed.
5. On your mobile phone choose to search for
Bluetooth devices.
6. Your mobile phone should present a list of Bluetooth
devices discovered. Select iCom from this list.
7. Your mobile phone may then ask you to enter a
passcode. If so, enter 0000 (four zeros).
Your iCom should now be paired to your mobile phone.
Some mobile phones may ask which Bluetooth service
you wish to enable. Select Headset and, if available,
“Stereo Headset.
Setting up Bluetooth devices
23
Connecting your mobile phone
Once your mobile phone and iCom are paired, the
mobile phone needs to be connected’ to your iCom
before it will actually send audio signals to it. This
function should also appear in your mobile phone’s
“Bluetooth menu, usually under a list of Paired
devices. In that list, highlight your iCom and select
“Connect. Confirmation of successful connection
is indicated on iCom by the Bluetooth indicator slowly
flashing blue.

you may see a headset symbol on the main screen
of your mobile phone, similar to this:
The connection between your iCom and your mobile
phone will be maintained as long as the two devices re-
main ON and within range of each other. If either
device is switched off or moves out of range, you may
need to perform the connection procedure again.
On some phones you can configure “Automatic
reconnection”. We recommend that you do so if this
feature is available. Refer to the user guide of
your mobile phone for instructions on how to do this
if supported.
24
Pairing and connecting iCom with a
Bluetooth transmitter
If you wish to use your iCom to listen to music from
your stereo system or make phone calls with your
landline telephone but these devices are not equipped
with Bluetooth functionality, you may use an external
Bluetooth transmitter.
As described above, it is necessary first to perform the
Bluetooth pairing procedure between your iCom and
Bluetooth transmitter. The pairing procedure is controlled
by the device with which you are attempting to pair.
Such devices vary in the procedure they require for pairing.
You should therefore refer to your device’s user guide
or dealer support if you cannot complete the pairing
procedure with the generic steps described here.
1. Charge and turn ON both your iCom and Bluetooth
transmitter. Place them next to each other.
2. Initiate the pairing process on your iCom by pressing
the Bluetooth pairing button for about 2 seconds
until the Bluetooth indicator flashes blue. Your iCom
will remain in the pairing mode for two minutes
or until the pairing is completed.
Setting up Bluetooth devices

3. Set your Bluetooth transmitter into pairing
mode. With some devices, simply turning them
ON initiates the pairing process.
4. A Bluetooth transmitter typically doesn’t require
a passcode or passkey to establish a connection
with iCom. After initiating pairing, simply wait until
the devices have completed the pairing process.
If a passcode is required, enter 0000 (four zeros).
Typically, with Bluetooth transmitters the connecting
process is automatically performed after pairing.
Confirmation of successful connection is indicated
on iCom by the Bluetooth indicator slowly flashing blue.
If this is not the case, refer to the user guide of your
Bluetooth transmitter.
26
Pairing and connecting iCom with a
Personal Computer (PC)

same time but only one call at a time is possible.
Setting up Bluetooth devices
29
Using your iCom with your
mobile phone
Before you can use your iCom with your mobile phone,
you must complete the pairing and connection
procedures described in the “Setting up Bluetooth
devices section above.
How your iCom interacts with your mobile phone
When making a mobile-phone call, the iCom’s built-in
microphone captures your voice and transmits it to the
mobile phone. This frees you from holding the phone
to your head to speak.
Bluetooth Wireless signal
Your voice Caller’s voice
audible here
Caller’s voice
30
The other party’s voice is received by your mobile
phone, which transmits it to your iCom. Your iCom
transmits it to your hearing instruments.
Your iCom’s main button is used to accept, reject and
end phone calls as described in the sections below.
Some mobile phones are configured to play
keypress tones and confirmation beeps via Blue-
tooth headsets. If this is set, you will hear these
tones interrupting any active audio streaming
in your hearing instruments. Please refer to your
mobile phone user guide for information about
disabling this feature.
Mobile phone calls will always take priority
over other audio sources on your iCom. For more
information refer to the section Streaming
priorities on page 40.
Using your iCom with your mobile phone
31
Speaking into your iCom
Your iCom includes a high-quality directional
microphone. It is placed on the side to optimally pick
up your voice without extraneous noise when you
wear your iCom around your neck.
When engaged in a mobile phone call, speak normally
as shown in figure below. In noisy environments,
you can bring your iCom closer to your mouth as shown
in figure . In this case, avoid covering the small
microphone openings on the side of your iCom (figure
). Turning your iCom sideways is unnecessary and
will not increase the sound quality (figure ).

32
Moving out of Bluetooth range
If your mobile phone leaves the Bluetooth range of
your iCom, the connection will be lost. If this happens
during a phone call, the mobile phone might terminate
the call, even in cases where the “Automatic reconnection”
feature has been enabled on the mobile phone.
Incoming calls
When a call is received on your mobile phone, the
iCom Bluetooth indicator will flash and you will hear
the ringing tone in your hearing instruments.
Your iCom can receive incoming calls while streaming
audio from other sources, such as listening to music via
audio jack. After rejecting or completing the call, your
iCom will resume streaming the music from the audio
jack.
Using your iCom with your mobile phone
33
Accepting incoming calls
To accept an incoming call, briefly press the main
button on your iCom. You will hear the caller’s voice in
both hearing instruments.
It will take about 1 second before the link from
the mobile phone to the hearing instruments is
established.
For your safety, the hearing instruments
microphones will remain ON at reduced level
during phone calls.
34
Rejecting incoming calls
If you prefer not to answer a call, press and hold the
main button on your iCom for about two seconds until
the iCom Bluetooth indicator turns OFF. Your iCom will
command your mobile phone to reject the call.
Rejecting the call by operating your mobile phone
directly will have the same effect.
Making a call
Initiating a phone call is not any different with or
without iCom: Simply use the mobile phone keyboard
to enter or select a number and dial.
If connected, you will hear the ringing indication in
your hearing instruments and they will activate the
dedicated Bluetooth phone program.
Some older and cordless DECT phones require a
short press of the main button to accept or initiate
the call. In this case select or type the phone
number first, then short press the iCom button to
initiate the call, then wait 5 seconds.
Using your iCom with your mobile phone
35
Once the connection is established,
no further manipulation of the
phone is required.
Speak into iCom
not into the mobile phone
when the called party
answers.
36
Last number redial, Voice dialing
If the iCom-function "Call Repeat" is enabled by your
hearing care professional a double-press of the main
button will redial the last dialed number.
If the iCom-function "Voice dial" is enabled by your
hearing care professional a long press (2 sec) of the
main button will start the Voice Dial.
It allows you to speak the persons name instead of
typing the number. This is especially helpful in car
situations for example.
After pressing the main button for 2 seconds, wait for
the confirmation beep and say the name of the person
you want to call.
Your phone must support this feature. Please
consult the phone user manual for details.
When using two phones at the same time ("Multi
Point") always and only the last paired phone
can be used for voice dial.
Using your iCom with your mobile phone
37
Ending a call
To end a phone call via your iCom, briefly press the
main button. The call will terminate and your hearing
instruments will return to the previously-active
program or audio source (such as the jack input).
Ending a call by operating your mobile phone instead
of your iCom will have the same effect.
38
Using your iCom with your mobile phone
Using cordless phones (DECT) or older phones
with “Headset” profile only
If your phone is only supporting the Headset” profile
(HSP), always use the main button to accept or initiate
calls (Cordless Phones, DECT).
For these phones the Bluetooth indicator
(blue light) might not blink even if the phone
was paired before.
To do an outgoing call:
Step 1
On the phone, type the number you want to dial or
select it from the phone book
Step 2
A: Briefly press the main button
B: If you are already in a streaming iCom program
(Bluetooth music, Plug, FM via iCom) press the main
button for 2 seconds
Step 3: Wait for 5 seconds
39
Step 4: The dialing process will automatically start,
the iCom Bluetooth indication light becomes solid blue
and you may hear a confirmation beep in your
hearing instruments.
To terminate the call briefly press the main button again.
For “Multi-point” mode (support of two phones
at the same time), at least one of the phones
must support the Hands-Free Profile (HFP). Please
check the phone user manuals for more details.
40
Audio streaming enables you
to hear audio from an MP3 player
or other audio source directly in
your hearing instruments, which then
function like a wireless, stereo headset.
Streaming priorities
An audio source can be connected to your hearing
instruments through the iCom in three ways: via audio
cable, via a Bluetooth connection or via FM receiver.
The following summarizes the priority given to
different audio sources:
1 Bluetooth phone call (phone 1, phone 2)
2 Audio jack
3 FM receiver
4 Bluetooth stereo headset music
(streamer 1, streamer 2)
First priority is always given to mobile phone calls:
You will hear the ringing indication even when
listening to other audio sources via cable, Bluetooth or
FM. If you push the main button to accept the call,
Using audio devices & FM
41
streaming is switched to the phone call. If you reject,
or terminate the call, audio streaming will resume.
It is not possible to switch between two Bluetooth
phone or streamer sources. Terminate the first call to
pickup the other phone.
A second Bluetooth music streamer obtains priority
over an existing one (to switch back to streamer 1,
streamer 2 must be turned off).
Audio streaming is automatically activated independent
of which hearing program you have selected on your
hearing instruments.
Connecting via audio cable (3.5 mm jack)
Connect the audio player to iCom with an audio
cable as shown in the following picture.
Insert one end of the audio cable into the
headphones socket on your audio player.
Insert the other end of the audio cable into
the audio input on your iCom.
42
Using audio devices
Connecting via Bluetooth
If your audio source is equipped with Bluetooth
functionality or if you use an external Bluetooth
adapter, you can stream audio wirelessly via
Bluetooth. In order to use your iCom with a Bluetooth
enabled audio device or transmitter, you must first
pair the devices. Please refer to the section Pairing
iCom with a Bluetooth transmitter” for further details.
AUDIO
3.5 mm jack
43
Connecting via FM system
When noise, distance or reverberation is a problem, FM
systems greatly improve communication. A wireless
FM communication system consists of a transmitter and
a receiver. The transmitter is placed near, or directly
connected to the sound source (e.g. TV or radio).
It transmits the signal via radio to your FM receiver
(MLxi or MicroMLxS) attached to your iCom. The
FM signal is then sent to your hearing instruments via
the iCom.
Attach your FM receiver to iCom
via the FM input (Europlug)
as shown in the picture below.
44
Using audio devices
Place the FM transmitter near the sound source or
connect it to your TV, radio etc. and turn it ON.
Turn the FM receiver ON. If you use a MicroMLxS,
receiver, set the switch to the position "•".
You will hear an audible notification in your hearing in-
struments if the FM receiver receives an FM signal.
Briefly press the iCom main button to accept the FM
signal. The streaming indicator will light solid yellow
to indicate FM usage. Press the main button for
2 seconds to reject the incoming FM signal.
If the main button is not pressed within 20 second,
iCom will automatically switch to pause mode and the
streaming indicator will blink yellow.
The FM connection will remain ON for at least
60 seconds even with no signal transmitted to ensure
uninterrupted transmission in situations such as
lectures.
To deactivate FM, turn OFF the attached FM receiver or
unplug it. iCom will automatically activate the default
hearing program.
45
Start streaming
Set the volume of your audio source to a medium level
and press play on your audio source to start. iCom
will automatically detect the audio signal and you will
hear the sound in your hearing instruments. Your
hearing instruments will automatically switch to a
special program which provides you with optimal
sound quality.
If connected via audio cable or FM receiver, the
streaming indicator will light solid yellow. If connected
via Bluetooth, the Bluetooth indicator will light solid
blue.
Pause streaming
To temporarily interrupt the streaming, e.g. if someone
wants to speak to you, press the main button on iCom.
The hearing instruments will switch to normal operation.
If connected via audio cable or FM receiver, the
streaming indicator flashes yellow while in pause. If
connected via Bluetooth, the Bluetooth indicator flashes
blue when paused.
To resume streaming, press the main button on iCom
again.
46
Using audio devices
The streaming pause operation will usually not
pause your audio device. An MP3 player, connected
via audio jack, will continue playing music, although
you will not hear it in your hearing instruments.
Stop streaming
To stop streaming audio, turn OFF the audio source,
unplug the audio cable or disengage the audio devices’
Bluetooth functionality.
When streaming stops, iCom will automatically
activate the previously-active hearing program after
a short period of time. This occurs whenever the
streaming signal stops for more than 5 seconds. (Except
in the case of FM, which will stop after 60 seconds to
accommodate lectures).
47
Streaming interruptions
Situations where streaming may be interrupted:
If iCom is too far away from the hearing
instruments while streaming, e.g. if you are not
wearing the neckloop or if you have unplugged
the neckloop cable.
If the Bluetooth signal is out of range.
In those cases, your hearing instruments will lose the
audio signal. If this situation continues for more than
about 5 seconds, they will automatically switch to the
previously-active hearing program.
To avoid streaming interruptions, make sure you
wear iCom correctly and keep the Bluetooth
device within the operating range as described in
the sections Wearing iCom” and Bluetooth link.
48
If, for some reason, iCom becomes
unresponsive, press the reset button
on the back of the device as shown
in the picture.
If all three indicators on your iCom are lit solid,
this may indicate a software problem. Refer to

Troubleshooting
Situation
iCom is no longer
recognized by the mobile
phone or other Bluetooth
device to which it
was previously paired.
The mobile phone is
ringing but the Bluetooth
indicator is not flashing
and there is no ringing
indication in the hearing
instruments.
Most probable cause

maximum of 8 different
Bluetooth devices.
If the internal memory
is full, new pairings
will overwrite previous
pairings.
Bluetooth is OFF in the
mobile phone.
iCom and your mobile
phone are not connected
to each other.
iCom is not paired to the
mobile phone.
Important information
63
Remedy
Repeat the pairing between iCom and the Bluetooth
device which was overwritten.
Ensure Bluetooth is turned ON in the mobile phone.
Please refer to your mobile phone’s user guide.
1. Disable the Bluetooth functionality in your mobile
phone and turn it ON again.
2. Restart iCom by turning it OFF and back ON. The
iCom’s Bluetooth functionality will be automatically
re-activated.

Troubleshooting
Situation
The mobile phone is
ringing, the Bluetooth
indicator is flashing
but there is no ringing
indication in the hearing
instruments.
When making phone calls
the other party reports
difficulties hearing me.
I hear my mobile phone’s
key-press tones in
my hearing instruments.
The volume of phone
conversations, audio
streaming and FM
connections is not
comfortable (too low
or too high).
Most probable cause
iCom is out of range of
the hearing instruments.
The iComs microphone
openings may be covered
or not able to pick up
your voice correctly.
The key-press tones
may be ON in your mobile
phone.
The different audio sour-
ces have different output
volumes.
Important information
65
Remedy
Make sure you wear iCom around your neck.
Make sure the microphone openings are not covered
and that you speak into iCom as shown on page 31.
Do not turn iCom sideways as you speak. Be careful
not to let iCom rub against clothing.
Deactivate key-press and confirmation tones on
your mobile phone. Please refer to the mobile phone
user guide.
Volume cannot be changed via iCom. Adjust the
volume on the connected audio source or mobile
phone or change the volume on the hearing
instruments.
66
Troubleshooting
Situation
iCom is unresponsive
and all three indicators
are lit solid.
Most probable cause
This may indicate a
software problem.
Important information
67
Remedy
Unplug any connectors on the iCom, including the
USB charging connector, and press the reset button.
If the problem persists, delete Bluetooth pairings
and press the reset button again. If the problem still
persists, please contact your hearing care
professional.
