iPFG fitting instructions for Digital Wireless Accessories (DWA) and Remote Controls
myPilot and iCom are individualized to the specific needs of the CORE platform hearing system user by grouping them through the iPFG fitting software. The desired language, the activated hearing programs, the individual pairing with the hearing system and the manual configurations are available on the devices after the grouping process.
For Phonak PilotOne remote control, please refer to the Phonak PilotOne Fitting Page

*) Pre-calculated EasyBluetooth program applies if neither Click’nTalk nor iCom were selected as accessories. The EasyBluetooth automatic program will be accessible for fine tuning after selecting/grouping either of the devices.
**) iCom default is ‘generic’ upon delivery (it will work with any Phonak wireless hearing instrument). When grouping iCom through iPFG it will be specific. Use the “Accessory upgrade – Format” action to turn iCom into a generic iCom again.
Recommendation for Click’nTalk and iCom
For best results with iCom and Click’nTalk in iPFG it is recommended to fine-tune the precalculated EasyBluetooth and EasyAudio programs, as e.g. mobile phones input varies across types and models.
The iPFG fitting software also allows you to install the newest available firmware on the device.
Grouping and Selection
“Grouping” is the process to pair and save the accessory to the individual hearing instruments. “Selection” is a simple registration of the accessory within the fitting software. Serial number registration or printing instructions within the Reports section of the fitting software is only possible for selected devices.
