Talk on the phone
See figure 5
For best results, use a Cochlear Wireless
Phone Clip or stream the conversation
directly from your iPhone. When using
a normal handheld phone, place the
receiver near the microphone inlet of your
sound processor instead of near your
ear. Ensure the receiver does not touch
the sound processor as this may result in
feedback.
Replace battery
See figure 7
When there is approximately one hour
of battery power remaining, you will
hear an audio indicator comprising of
two sets of four short beeps. At this time
you may experience low amplification. If
the battery runs down completely, the
sound processor will beep and then stop
working.
Use one of the included batteries (zinc-
air, non-rechargeable) as a replacement.
The batteries included in the sound
processor kit reflect Cochlear's latest
recommendations. Contact your hearing
care professional for additional batteries.
1. Hold the sound processor with the
back facing upwards.
2. Gently open the battery compartment
until it is completely open. Remove
the old battery. Dispose of the battery
according to local regulations. Remove
the sticker on the + side of the new
8
battery. Insert the new battery with
the + sign facing upwards in the
battery compartment.
3. Gently close the battery compartment
until it is completely closed.
Battery tips
•
Battery life decreases as soon as the
battery is exposed to air (when the
plastic strip has been removed).
•
Battery life depends on daily use,
the volume setting, the use of
wireless audio streaming, the sound
environment, the program setting,
and battery strength.
•
To maximise battery life, switch off the
sound processor when its not in use.
•
If a battery leaks, replace it
immediately.
Optional tamper-proof battery door
To prevent the accidental opening of
the battery door, an optional tamper-
resistant battery door is available. This is
particularly useful to prevent children, and
other recipients in need of supervision,
from accidentally accessing the battery.
Contact your hearing care professional for
a tamper-resistant battery door.
