User Manual

To use the tamper-proof battery door:
See figure 9

the tip of a pen in the small hole on
the battery door and gently open the
battery compartment.
• To lock the device, gently close
the battery compartment until it is
completely closed.

WARNING:
Batteries can be harmful if swallowed,
put in the nose or in the ear. Be sure
to keep your batteries out of reach of
small children and other recipients in
need of supervision. Before use, verify
that the tamper-resistant battery
door is properly closed. In the event
a battery is accidentally swallowed, or
stuck in the nose or in the ear, seek
immediate medical attention at the
nearest emergency centre.
Attaching the safety line
See figure 6
Before connecting your sound processor,
attach the safety line and clip it to your
shirt or jacket.
Cochlear recommends connecting the
safety line when engaging in physical
activities. Children should use the safety
line at all times.
General care
Your Baha sound processor is a delicate
electronic device. Follow these guidelines
to keep it in proper working order:
• When not in use, turn off your sound
processor and store it free from dust
and dirt.
• If you will not be using your sound
processor for a long period, remove
the battery.
• During physical activities, secure your
sound processor by using the safety
line.
• Remove your sound processor before
applying hair conditioners, mosquito
repellent and or similar products.
• Avoid exposing your sound processor
to extreme temperatures.
• Your sound processor is not
waterproof. Do not use it when
swimming and avoid exposing it to
heavy rain.
• For cleaning your sound processor
and snap coupling use the
Baha sound processor Cleaning kit.
If the sound processor becomes very
wet
1. Immediately open the battery door
and remove the battery.
2. Put your sound processor in a
container with drying capsules such
as a Dri-Aid Kit, etc. Leave it to dry out
overnight. Drying kits are available
from most hearing care professionals.
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
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.
