Using audio accessories with your processor Cochlear supplies a range of audio accessories to help optimise hearing in different listening environments. You can connect the following audio accessories to your processor: • Cochlear™ Nucleus® CP800 Series Lapel Microphone, to improve communication in noisy environments (e.g. meetings). To use the Lapel Microphone, connect the processor end of the Lapel Microphone cable to your processor audio accessory socket and place the other end near the sound source.
Using audio accessories with your processor • Cochlear™ Nucleus® CP800 Series Personal Audio Cable for connecting a battery-powered sound source (e.g. portable CD player) to your processor. The Personal Audio Cable produces monophonic sound. To use the Personal Audio Cable, connect the processor end of the cable to your processor and the other end to the battery-powered sound source. Do not use the Personal Audio Cable to directly connect to a mains powered sound source (e.g. TV).
Using audio accessories with your processor Cable to a mains powered sound source (e.g. TV). The Mains Isolation Cable provides electrical protection from mains power. Figure 15: Mains Isolation Cable • FM Cables, to send sound signals from a commercially available FM listening system to your processor. FM systems are wireless communication systems that help enhance hearing performance and speech understanding in certain environments (e.g. noisy environments, at school, etc.).
Using audio accessories with your processor Only use audio accessories supplied by Cochlear. All CP800 series accessories are compatible with the CP810 sound processor. Certain accessories may not be available in all countries. Please contact your clinician or local Cochlear office for confirmation. You may also want to try commercially available assisted listening devices (e.g. FM systems). For more information, contact your clinician.
Using audio accessories with your processor To connect a Freedom accessory using the Freedom Accessory Adaptor: 1. Connect the audio accessory to the Freedom Accessory Adaptor. Ensure that you connect the audio accessory to the Freedom Accessory Adaptor before connecting it to your processor. 2. Connect the other end of the Freedom Accessory Adaptor to the processor accessory socket. To use the Mains Isolation Cable: 1.
Using audio accessories with your processor Changing from an audio accessory to microphones You can change from using an audio accessory to using the microphones only, while leaving the audio accessory attached. To change from using an audio accessory to using the microphones, press the upper button. A single long flash of green confirms that the microphones are enabled.
Using sound processor covers You can use sound processor covers to personalise your processor. They can also help protect your processor from scratches. Sound processor covers are available from Cochlear in a choice of colours and designs to suit different lifestyles. Attaching sound processor covers To attach a sound processor cover to your processor: 1. Hold your processor in one hand and the sound processor cover in the other hand as shown. 2.
Using sound processor covers Removing sound processor covers To remove the sound processor cover from your processor: 1. Hold your processor as shown. 54 - CP810 Sound Processor User Guide 195992 Iss3 CP810 user guide 01.indd 54 2. Slide the sound processor cover away from your processor. Pushing on the bottom of your processor with the thumb will help slide the cover away from your processor.
Caring for your processor Your processor is a medical device requiring good care and maintenance to ensure that it provides optimal hearing performance. This section provides guidance on how to take care of your processor. Wearing your processor in cold or hot temperatures Your processor is designed to work in cold or hot temperatures. Generally, in cold temperatures your body heat is sufficient to keep your processor warm and working well. In very cold weather, wear a hat or headband over your processor.
Caring for your processor • Failure from splashing water. When an audio accessory is attached, your processor is not protected from dust and water damage. To protect your processor from dust or water damage: • Ensure that microphone protectors are in place at all times. • Ensure that the accessory socket cover is properly closed when you are not using an audio accessory.
Caring for your processor The Zephyr Dry & Store helps remove moisture from your processor. Before using this dry aid kit, read the manufacturer’s instructions for use. It is recommended to only use the Zephyr Dry & Store supplied by Cochlear. Figure 19: Zephyr Dry & Store If your processor gets exposed to salt water or chemicals, wipe it with a damp cloth before placing it in the Zephyr Dry & Store. Avoid getting sand or dirt into any part of the system. If this happens: 1.
Caring for your processor cleaning it. If you remove the earhook too often, it may become loose. • Clean the coil cable with a dry cloth. • Clean sound processor covers and the Snugfit with a soft dry cloth. • If audio accessories are dirty, clean them with a soft dry cloth. You can blow on the processor accessory socket to remove any dust. Replacing microphone protectors A dirty or blocked microphone protector results in the gradual deterioration of sound quality.
Caring for your processor Zephyr Dry & Store. The coil, coil cable, coil magnet and battery module (if it is not being charged) should remain attached to the processing unit. Turn off your processor before placing it in the Zephyr Dry & Store. Using the Everyday Case You can use the Cochlear™ Nucleus® CP800 Series Everyday Case for carrying your processor with you (e.g. when travelling). It is light and easy to carry, and has the flexibility to fit all components (e.g. coil, earhook, etc.).
Caring for your processor • Remove your processor immediately if it becomes unusually warm or hot, and seek advice from your clinician. Parents and caregivers should touch their child’s or recipient’s processor to check for heat if the child or recipient is showing signs of discomfort. • Do not wear your processor while sleeping, as you may not become aware of your processor becoming unusually warm or hot. • Do not allow children or recipients with disabilities to wear their processor while sleeping.
