Use Instructions

Remove your sound processor and consult your cochlear implant professional if uncomfortable
sounds are heard or in case of discomfort, pain or skin irritation.
If the sound processor or accessories become unusually hot or warm, discontinue use
immediately and contact Advanced Bionics or your cochlear implant professional.
It is important to have the correct magnet strength, so you do not experience discomfort or
retention issues. If magnet strength is insufficient, the headpiece may fall off more than is
acceptable. If magnet strength is excessive, you may experience irritation or discomfort.
Consult your cochlear implant professional if there are any concerns regarding magnet strength.
If deemed appropriate, an audiologist may change the strength of the magnet in the headpiece.
Do not change magnet strength unless under the direction of a cochlear implant professional. If
you experience any redness, irritation, or discomfort, discontinue use of the headpiece
immediately and contact a cochlear implant professional. See the headpiece instructions for
use for additional information regarding adjustment of headpiece magnet strength.
Store additional headpieces away from items with magnetic strips (e.g., credit cards, hotel room
keys, etc.) as they may de-magnetize cards.
The digitally-coded, inductive transmission technology used in this device is extremely reliable
and experiences virtually no interference from other devices. It should be noted, however, that
when operating the device near a computer terminal or other strong electromagnetic field (e.g.
RFID system), it may be necessary to be at least 24” (60 cm) away to ensure proper operation. If
the
Sky CI M90 sound processor does not respond to the implant device because of an unusual
field disturbance, move away from the disturbing field.
The
Sky CI M90 sound processors and accessories should be used in accordance with the
electromagnetic compatibility information provided in the Guidance and Manufacturer’s
Declaration section of this document.
Although electromagnetic emissions of your Sky CI M90 sound processor have been confirmed
within safe limits, some other devices could be sensitive to such emissions. If you notice other
devices do not behave as expected when your sound processor is nearby, separate the devices.
Portable and mobile radio frequency (RF) communications equipment, including radios and
cellular phones, may affect sound quality of the
Sky CI M90 sound processor and accessories;
however, there is no safety hazard associated with such equipment.
Do not expose any part of the
Sky CI M90 sound processors or accessories to extreme heat, such
as an oven, microwave, or hair dryer.
AutoSense Sky OS 3.0, Speech in Loud Noise, UltraZoom, UltraZoom + SNR Boost, and Speech in
360 programs may dampen sounds that are not in front of the recipient.
Use of WindBlock, EchoBlock, SoundRelax, NoiseBlock, and/or WhistleBlock may affect the
quality of sound.
Do not use any programs other than an off-ear program when utilizing any off-ear wearing
configuration (e.g., in a clip, in the M Waterproof Battery).
NOTE: In the United States, StereoZoom, auto UltraZoom, SoundRelax, WindBlock, and
EchoBlock are approved for use in pediatric recipients 6 years and above who are 1) able to
