• After exercise, wipe your processor
with a soft cloth to remove sweat or
dirt.

or is exposed to a very humid

new one.

6.2 IP classification

The electronics compartment in your
sound processor is protected against
damage by dust and by immersion in
water. Without the battery, the sound
processor was tested for immersion in
water for 35 minutes at 1.1 meters depth
and achieved an IP68 rating. This means
that if you, for example, accidentally
drop your sound processor in water, the
electronics in the device are protected
against malfunction due to water ingress.
However, your sound processor has a
battery that requires air to operate and
malfunctions if wet. The sound processor
with battery achieves an IP42 rating. This
means there is a possibility that if you,
for example, are out in rain or in other
humid environments, water can block air
supply to the battery causing a temporary
malfunction. To avoid temporary
malfunction, avoid exposing the sound
processor to water and always remove it
before swimming or bathing.
