BTE Sound Processor Components
Your BTE Sound Processor has the same processing capabilities as the
CLARION body-worn sound processors and is available in beige or
brown. Your CLARIO N BTE consists of an earhook, electronics
module, microphone, toggle switch, rechargeable PowerCel
™
, cable and
headpiece.
Earhook
The earhook is designed to hold the BTE Sound Processor in
place behind the ear. Two sizes are provided to accommodate your
ear comfortably - a standard earhook and a small earhook. Your
audiologist can assist you in determining which is more appropriate for you. Generally, the larger earhook suits adult CLARION
users while the smaller earhook is most appropriate for children.
Electronics Module
The electronics module houses the operating electronics of your
BTE Sound Processor. The cable connection port is on the back of

most appropriate magnetic strength for you at the time of programming.
The Platinum Headpiece™ is supplied to all new CLARION
users. Existing CLARIO N users can continue to use their current
headpiece.
NOTE: The microphone on the headpiece is not activated when used
in conjunction with the CLARIO N BTE. Only the forward
facing microphone located within the BTE is operational.
Your headpiece is designed to operate with both your BTE and
body-worn processor.
Headpiece Cable:
A headpiece cable connects the BTE Sound Processor to the headpiece. A connector is located just below the toggle switch. The
cable connects the Headpiece to the BTE Sound Processor.
WARNING: Your headpiece should be serviced only by Advanced
Bionics. Do not attempt to open or repair the headpiece
base. Unauthorized opening of the headpiece base will void
the warranty.
the electronics module. You will attach one end of the headpiece
cable to this port.
Microphone
The microphone captures sound and is located on the electronics
module behind the earhook. Because the BTE Sound Processor
contains its own forward facing microphone, the microphone in
the headpiece is automatically de-activated when used with the
BTE Sound Processor.
Toggle Switch
The BTE Sound Processor has one toggle switch which is located
on the back side of the BTE Sound Processor. This toggle switch
serves as both a program selector switch and as a volume or sensitivity control.
Rechargeable PowerCel™
A custom Lithium-Ion rechargeable PowerCel module powers
your BTE Sound Processor. The rechargeable PowerCel module
comes in different sizes with different operating times that depend
on your unique program, implant type and other user variables.
There are two PowerCel sizes, plus and slim. The optimal
PowerCel for your implant type is included in your kit. You may
purchase additional or different PowerCels if you wish. Actual use
time for each PowerCel size will vary depending on the type of
sound processing program you use.
WARNING: Your BTE Sound Processor should be serviced only by
Advanced Bionics. Do not attempt to open or repair the
processor. Unauthorized opening of the processor will void
the warranty.
Headpiece
Your headpiece is held in place by a magnet, which lines up with
an internal magnet that is located in the implant. When placing the
headpiece on your head, the headpiece centers itself as the two
magnets attract each other. The headpiece comes with an
adjustable magnetic strength. Your audiologist will determine the

Processor
Attaching the Earhook
The earhook is easily screwed on and off. You should turn the
earhook until it is tight and flush with the electronics module of
your BTE. The earhook is designed NOT to tighten completely in
order to ensure easy repositioning for comfort. Don’t hesitate to
turn it an additional turn if you prefer it tighter. Turning additional
turns will NOT cause damage to the earhook or electronics module.
Connecting the Headpiece and Cable
At one end of the headpiece cable is a two-pin plug that you will
insert into the cable connector on the headpiece. The pins have
different diameters that match the two holes in the cable con-
nector.
At the other end of the headpiece cable is a two-hole
plug that connects to the two-pin headpiece cable connector on the back of the BTE Sound Processor. The
female end of the cable contains a raised area that will
align with a groove on the cable connection port of the
electronics module.
Connecting the cable:
1. Align the raised area on the end of the cable with the groove
on the cable connector on the BTE electronics module and
slide in place until it is secure.
2. Orient the connector so that the large pin on the cable matches
the large hole size on the headpiece and insert into the holes.
Removing the cable:
1. Remove the PowerCel from the electronics module (see details
on page 15).
2. Hold the cable's strain relief (the plastic plug) and gently pull
it away.
