User's Manual

Using your processor

This section describes how to use the buttons on your processor. The

sequence of button presses that are described in each of the sections

below are part of the Simple user interface. If your processor has the

Advanced user interface enabled, see Advanced user interface for

information on the processor functions you can control and the button

press sequences.

Turning your processor on and off

To be able to hear sound from your processor, the processor needs to be

turned on and the coil needs to be connected to the implant. To turn on

your processor, press and hold the lower button for at least one second

until you either hear sounds (if your processor is in place on your head),

or until you see short ﬂ ashes of green. The number of ﬂ ashes you see

corresponds to the number of the current program (e.g. if your current

program is program 2, you see two ﬂ ashes). For more information on

programs, see the following section.

To turn off, press and hold the lower button for at least one second,

until the sound stops, or you see a steady orange light. Do not remove

batteries, or detach the battery module to turn off your processor.

Changing programs

Programs help you hear better in different listening situations. Up to

four programs can be enabled by your clinician, depending on your

listening needs. The four programs are:

Everyday: Ideal for the typical listening situations of everyday life. It •

can adjust the sounds you hear for maximum clarity and comfort.

Noise: Suitable for environments with signiﬁ cant background •

noise, improving the audibility of wanted sound from all sides.

Focus: Useful where there is signiﬁ cant background noise, but the •

focus is on hearing what one person or a small group of people are

saying.

Music: Used to listen to all types of music from any audio source.•

You can change programs to suit your listening situation (e.g. use the

Music program when listening to music).
