Cochlear Baha 5 Manual Del Usuario página 9

• The sound processor is suitable for
use in electromagnetic environments
with power frequency magnetic fields
of typical commercial or hospital
levels.
• Interference may occur in the vicinity
of equipment with the
symbol to the right.
• Dispose of batteries and
electronic items in accordance with
your local regulations.
• Discard your device as electronic
waste according to local regulations.
• When the wireless function is
activated, the sound processor
uses low-powered digitally
coded transmissions in order to
communicate with other wireless
devices. Although unlikely, nearby
electronic devices may be affected. In
that case, move the sound processor
away from the affected electronic
device.
• When using wireless functionality
and the sound processor is affected
by electromagnetic interference,
move away from the cause of this
interference.
• Be sure to deactivate wireless
functionality when boarding flights.
• Turn off your wireless functionality by
using the flight mode in areas where
radio frequency emission is prohibited.
• Cochlear Baha wireless devices include
an RF transmitter that operates in the
range of 2.4 GHz–2.48 GHz.
• For wireless functionality, only use
Cochlear Wireless accessories. For
further guidance regarding e.g.
14
pairing, please refer to the user guide
of the relevant Cochlear Wireless
accessory.
• No modification of this equipment is
allowed.
• Portable RF communications
equipment (including peripherals
such as antenna cables and external
antennas) should be used no closer
than 30 cm (12 in.) to any part of
your Baha 5 Power, including cables
specified by the manufacturer.
Otherwise, degradation of the
performance of this equipment could
result.
• Use of accessories, transducers and
cables other than those specified or
provided by Cochlear could result in
increased electromagnetic emissions
or decreased electromagnetic
immunity of this equipment and result
in improper operation.
CT scanners and diathermy systems
Potential disruption might occur due
to electromagnetic emissions, f you
are to undergo a CT scan (computed
tomography) or have surgery where
diathermy is used. If this occurs, you
should turn off the sound processor.
Theft and metal detection
systems and Radio Frequency
ID (RFID) systems:
Devices such as airport metal detectors,
commercial theft detection systems,
and RFID scanners may produce strong
electromagnetic fields. Some Baha users
may experience a distorted sound
sensation when passing through or
near one of these devices. If this occurs,
you should turn off the sound processor
when in the vicinity of one of these
devices. The materials used in the sound
processor may activate metal detection
systems. For this reason, you should carry
the Security Control MRI Information Card
with you at all times.
Electrostatic discharge
A discharge of static electricity can
damage the electrical components of
the sound processor or corrupt the
program in the sound processor. If static
electricity is present (e.g. when putting
on or removing clothes over the head or
getting out of a vehicle), you should touch
something conductive (e.g. a metal door
handle) before your sound processor
contacts any object or person. Prior to
engaging in activities that create extreme
electrostatic discharge, such as playing on
plastic slides, the sound processor should
be removed. If disruptions keep occurring,
please contact your clinician to resolve the
issue.
Sound processor type
designations for models included
in this User Manual are:
FCC ID: QZ3BAHA5POWER IC:
8039C-BAHA5POWER, IC model:

NOTE:
This device has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for
a Class B digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential
installation. This device generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If the device
does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning
the device off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
• Increase the separation between
the device and receiver.
• Connect the device into an outlet
on a circuit different from the one
in which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an
experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
• Changes or modifications can void
the user´s authority to operate the
device.
