Installing and using the iCube charger

Install the iCube charger by plugging the power

supply into a power outlet and docking iCube into the

iCube charger as shown below.

It is recommended that you use the iCube charger to

store and charge iCube whenever it is not in use.

This way it will be sufficiently charged and ready for

the next fitting session.

Getting started

Charging the battery

Your iCube has an internal, rechargeable battery.

As soon as you place your iCube on the iCube charger,

the battery starts charging.

For safety reasons, recharge the battery only with

chargers supplied by Phonak.

During the charging process, the battery indicator is

lit solid. Once the battery is fully charged, the battery

indicator will start flashing slowly. Normally, charging

an empty battery takes about 90 minutes. It is safe

to leave the charger connected overnight — the battery

cannot be overcharged.

When charging your iCube for the first time,

leave it to charge for at least three hours (even

if the battery indicator starts flashing earlier).

A new battery’s full performance is achieved only

after two or three complete charge and discharge

cycles.

Getting started

Your iCube battery can be charged hundreds of times.

If the operating time of your iCube reduces substantially,

please contact your local Phonak representative.

Operating time

Battery consumption and the operating time of the

iCube greatly depend on the usage of the device.

Heavy use will reduce the operating time of your iCube

between battery recharges.

Fully charged, your iCube will operate for up to

four hours in normal use.

Battery status

While turned ON, your iCube indicates the battery

status on the battery indicator LED as follows:

• Yellow, slow flash 컄Battery level is high.

• Yellow, fast flash 컄Battery level is low.

Once the fast flashing starts, your iCube will still

operate for about an hour, but you should recharge

the battery as soon as possible.

Low battery status is also indicated in iPFG in the

“CableFree Fitting Status” dialog.

Turning iCube ON/OFF

Turning iCube ON

To turn ON your iCube, press and hold the ON/OFF

button for about a second until you see the battery

indicator turn ON. Once your iCube is fully operational,

the battery indicator will flash slowly.

Turning iCube OFF

To turn OFF your iCube, press and hold the ON/OFF

button for about two seconds until you see the battery

indicator turn ON. Release the ON/OFF button. Once

you release the ON/OFF button, the battery indicator

will go dark and your iCube is OFF.

Getting started

Connecting iCube to your computer

iCube was designed to bring you the benefits of

CableFree Fitting via Bluetooth connection. However,

there are locations where Bluetooth connections are

not allowed, so iCube can alternatively be used with a

USB connection. In either case, before you can start

using your iCube it needs to be connected with your

computer.

Before you continue, make sure the iCube battery

charge is high.

Connecting via Bluetooth

Connecting your iCube via Bluetooth is done in three

steps:

1. Prepare the Bluetooth connection on your computer

To use iCube wireless via Bluetooth make sure that you

have Bluetooth activated. If your computer is equipped

with Bluetooth built in, find the Bluetooth settings

and activate it. For specific instructions please refer to

the documentation of the computer and operating

system you are using.

GA_iCube_GB._AK1_9.10.07.qxp 24.1.2008 14:27 Uhr Seite 12

Getting started

If you are using NoahLink and you have already

installed the corresponding external Bluetooth adaptor,

you can use that same adaptor for iCube.

If your computer is neither equipped with Bluetooth

built in nor with a NoahLink compatible Bluetooth

adaptor, use the Bluetooth adaptor accessory provided

by Phonak. Refer to the “quick start guide” document

available with the adaptor's Software CD and follow

the instructions.

iCube works within a Bluetooth operating range of

up to 10 meters (33 ft.) of the fitting computer.

2. Start the Connection Wizard for iCube

With Bluetooth functionality turned ON, you can now

initiate the connecting process via the iPFG fitting

application. In iPFG, press the iCube status button

which is located at the right-hand side of the iPFG

screen.

If no iCube has been previously connected, pressing

the iCube status button will start the “Connection

Wizard for iCube”. (Later, pressing the iCube status

button will guide you directly to the “CableFree

Fitting Status” screen as described on page 18).

Getting started

3. Pairing iCube with your computer

Select “Use iCube via Bluetooth” and the pairing wizard

will guide you through the process of pairing iCube

with your computer. Pairing is necessary to control

which Bluetooth devices are permitted to communicate

with each other. It needs to be completed only once,

before first use.

To initiate the pairing process on iCube, set the

device into pairing mode by pressing and holding the

Bluetooth pairing button for 2 seconds until the

Bluetooth indicator is blue and flashing fast. iCube is

now in pairing mode for two minutes or until

pairing is completed.

GA_iCube_GB._AK1_9.10.07.qxp 24.1.2008 14:27 Uhr Seite 16

Getting started

Follow the instructions to complete pairing and

finish the connection process for iCube. Upon

successful completion, the “CableFree Fitting Status”

will inform you about the status of iCube:

Deleting Bluetooth pairing

Please note that only one iCube can be paired with

your computer. If you wish to connect a different

iCube to your computer, select “Configuration”,

“System Settings”, "Communication" from the menu

bar of the fitting application. This will provide you

with the option of removing the existing device.

If you wish to delete the Bluetooth pairing from your

iCube, press and hold the Bluetooth pairing button

for about 10 seconds until the Bluetooth indicator is

lit solid blue.
