Wearing your processor

Your processor is designed to ﬁ t neatly and comfortably behind your ear.

You can also wear the processing unit behind the ear and attach the

battery module to the body. This provides greater comfort and ﬂ exibility

for both adults and children.

You can change the processor coil cable, coil magnet and earhook for

optimal comfort (e.g. if the coil cable length is too short, you can easily

change the cable to a longer one).

This section describes how to wear your processor and wearing options.

Placing your processor on your ear

To be able to hear sound from the processor, it needs to be placed on

the ear.

To place your processor on your ear:

Place the processing unit over your ear while holding the coil in the 1.

other hand.

Place the coil on your head. The coil magnet should hold it in place 2.

over your implant.

You may ﬁ nd it easier to turn on your processor before placing it on

your ear. To turn it on, press and hold the lower button for at least one

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

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

current program is program 2, you see two green ﬂ ashes).

When you turn on your processor before placing it on your ear, you may

see ﬂ ashes of orange. This indicates that the coil is not placed on your

head. If the ﬂ ashes do not stop even after placing the coil on your head,

see Understanding indicator lights for more information.
