Power Options
The PowerCel Battery is used to power the Harmony Sound Processor. There are two
types of PowerCel Batteries that can be used with the Harmony Sound Processor: the
PowerCel™ Slim or PowerCel™ Plus. The PowerCel Plus is larger than the PowerCel
Slim and provides increased operating time before a battery change is needed.
Individual operating times vary, depending on certain characteristics of the implant
user’s program settings, but, as a guideline, the PowerCel Slim and the PowerCel
Plus should provide a full day of use. PowerCels can be fully recharged in 4–5 hours
and do not need to be fully depleted before recharging.
How to Replace the PowerCel
1. Locate the tracks on the underside of the Processor and the top of the PowerCel.
The Accent Color Cap will need to be removed.
2. Position the PowerCel so that the contact is toward the back of the Processor.
3. Guide the PowerCel onto the tracks on the Processor.
4. Slide the PowerCel onto the Processor until it stops and is aligned with the Processor.
Do not force the PowerCel onto the Processor.
Connecting the PowerCel
Flexible wearing options for the Harmony Sound Processor
NOTE: The Harmony Sound
Processor is turned on and off
by connecting or removing the
PowerCel. When not in use, the
parent or child should remove
the PowerCel, otherwise the
Harmony Sound Processor
remains on, and the PowerCel
continues to drain.
