Wearing your processor Identifying your processors If you are a bilateral recipient, you may want to use Cochlear™ Nucleus® CP800 Series Bilateral Identification Adhesive Labels to reduce the risk of mixing up processors. The labels are available in two colours to help identify your left (blue) and right (red) ear processors. For more information, contact your clinician. To place the label on your processor: . 1. Remove the earhook from the processing unit by rotating it. 2.
Detaching and attaching the battery module You need to detach the battery module from the processing unit when: • Changing the battery module to a different one (e.g. changing from a standard battery module to a rechargeable battery module). • Changing the wearing option (e.g. using the LiteWear cable to attach the battery module to the processing unit). • Charging the rechargeable battery module.
Detaching and attaching the battery module Attaching the battery module to the processing unit To attach the battery module to the processing unit: 1. Hold the battery module and the processing unit so they touch. The battery module should face to the left and the processing unit to the right of the final position. 3. Make sure the battery module is correctly aligned. Check for broken or bent contacts between the battery module and the processing unit, which can cause misalignment.
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.
Using your processor To change the current program: 1. If the processor is turned off, turn it on. 2. Press the lower button until the program changes to the one you want. Each successive button press changes the program to the next one (e.g. to change from program 1 to program 2, press once). The number of green light flashes you see corresponds to the number of the selected program (e.g. after you change from program 1 to program 2, you see two short flashes of green).
Using your processor Indicator light Long flash of green. What it means You are changing from using: • The microphones to using the telecoil. • The telecoil to using the microphones. • The microphones to using an audio accessory. • Flash of green followed by a flash of orange. Flash of orange followed by a flash of green. Flashes of green. Flash of orange every second. Steady orange. An audio accessory to using the microphones. You are locking your processor buttons.
Using your processor Indicator light What it means Continuous flashes of orange with a short pause between flashes. Your processor battery is empty. You need to replace the disposable batteries, or recharge the rechargeable battery module. If a battery empty warning and general fault occur at the same time, you only see the battery empty indicator light (continuous flashes of orange). Understanding private tones When private tones are enabled, you hear a tone when you perform a function (e.g.
Using your processor Tone .. .. What it means You hear a sequence of long low tones. General fault. You hear a short low tone when you press a button. Your processor buttons are locked. You hear two short low tones. Your processor battery is low. You need to replace the batteries, or recharge the battery module. Your processor battery is empty. You need to replace the batteries, or recharge the battery module. You hear a sequence of short low tones.
Using your processor When Auto Telecoil is turned on, you see the Auto Telecoil icon on the remote assistant Home screen. Focus Music AUTO Noise Everyday Figure 9: Auto Telecoil icon displayed on the remote assistant Home screen You can manually turn off Auto Telecoil by pressing the upper button on the processing unit. You can also manually turn this feature on or off using the remote assistant. For more information, see the Remote Assistant User Guide.
Using your processor Depending on how your clinician has set up your programs, you can use the processor buttons (Advanced user interface only) to: • Change microphone sensitivity only. • Change volume only. The new microphone sensitivity or volume levels you choose will be saved for each program. Controlling microphone sensitivity Microphone sensitivity controls the softest level of sound picked up by the microphones.
Using your processor If you are adjusting the volume setting often, or if adjusting the volume causes you discomfort, consult your clinician. Locking and unlocking processor buttons You can lock the buttons on your processor to prevent children from changing the controls, or to avoid accidental button presses changing your processor settings. To lock the buttons, briefly press both the upper button and the lower button at the same time.
Using your processor Function Button press sequence Adjust microphone volume or Press the upper button to increase sensitivity level. volume or sensitivity level. Press the lower button to decrease volume or sensitivity level. Discuss with your clinician which user interface would be more suitable for you. Checking the coil The remote assistant has an in-built coil sensor that allows you to check if the coil connected to your processor is receiving sound signals from your processor.

Replacing and recharging batteries Replacing disposable batteries The Standard Battery Module uses two disposable batteries. It is recommended that you use two p675 zinc air batteries for maximum battery life. Replace disposable batteries when any of the following occur: • You see continuous flashes of orange on your processor. • You hear two short low tones (battery is low) or a sequence of short low tones (battery is empty).
Replacing and recharging batteries 1 3. 2 To remove the batteries, tip the battery holder to one side (1), or lift each battery out with your fingers (2) as shown. You can also use the coil magnet to remove batteries from the battery holder. To remove batteries using the coil magnet: 1. Place the coil magnet over the batteries so that the coil magnet touches both batteries. The coil magnet will lift both batteries out of the battery holder. 2. Pull the batteries away from the coil.
Replacing and recharging batteries 1 2 3. Insert batteries with the positive terminal facing up and the negative terminal facing down. The batteries should fit into the curved recess in the battery holder. Do not force the batteries into place. When inserted correctly, they should fit easily. Positive terminal (1) and negative terminal (2) of zinc air batteries. 4. Replace the battery cover by sliding it up from the bottom of the battery holder towards the processing unit.
Replacing and recharging batteries approximately four hours to recharge. As the battery ages, it may take longer to fully recharge it. The battery charger has four sockets allowing you to recharge four rechargeable battery modules at the same time. To recharge the rechargeable battery module: 1. Remove the rechargeable battery module from the processing unit. 3. Rotate the rechargeable battery module in a clockwise direction until it is fully aligned with the alignment indicator marking on the charger.
