Check Auria PowerCel Charge and Lock Status
In order to check the Auria PowerCel charge and lock status in children, observe the
status of the Auria FireFly (refer to Auria FireFly description under Earhook Options).
Replacing the Auria PowerCel:
• Slide the Auria PowerCel forward while gently holding the processor and
color cover.
• Guide the Auria PowerCel onto the tracks on the HiRes Auria Processor.
• Slide the Auria PowerCel onto the processor until it stops and the Auria PowerCel
and the processor are aligned.
NOTE: Do not force the Auria PowerCel onto the processor. The Auria PowerCel is
designed to be inserted in only one direction. Forcing the PowerCel may jam
or damage the tracks.
NOTE: To prevent damage to the Auria T-Mic be sure to turn it gently out of the way
prior to removal of the Auria PowerCel.
NOTE TO EUROPEAN CUSTOMERS: For proper disposal of rechargeable Auria
PowerCel modules, please return depleted Auria
PowerCel modules to the local Advanced
Bionics Corporation representative or Advanced
Bionics SARL.
Auria PowerPak
The Auria PowerPak offers an alternative to the rechargeable Auria PowerCel. The Auria
PowerPak can be worn on clothing or on a belt. The Auria PowerPak uses one non-
rechargeable AA battery (preferably Duracell or Energizer). You may opt to use a
rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride for best performance. Inserting a battery into the
Auria PowerPak activates the HiRes Auria Processor. The battery should be removed
when the HiRes Auria Processor is not in use to prevent further depletion of the battery.
WARNING: - Follow the recommendations of the battery manufacturer; never
attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
- When in use, the PowerPak should not be carried in any type of carry-
ing case, pouch or pocket, which could obstruct airflow to the
PowerPak causing its temperature to rise. In the unlikely event of a
PowerPak failure, obstruction of airflow could result in a case tempera-
ture increase of up to 20
° C (36 ° F ), which could potentially result in a
significant burn.
- Parents or caretakers of infants and children should periodically check
to ensure that the PowerPak has not accidentally moved from its cor-
rect placement as a result of normal activities, causing airflow to be
obstructed, particularly when unexpected/unusual crying or other
behaviors are noted.
