NOTE
Important information or advice.
TIP
Time saving hint.
CAUTION (no harm)
Special care to be taken to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Could cause damage to equipment.
WARNING (harmful)
Potential safety hazards and serious adverse reactions.
Could cause harm to person.
This guide is intended for Cochlear implant recipients and their
carers using the Cochlear
™
Nucleus® 7 Sound Processor (model
number: CP1000). The processor works with your implant to
transfer sound to your ear, and is made up of a processing unit,
earhook, coil and cable, and a battery module.
You can power your processor with disposable or rechargeable
batteries.
You can control your processor by pressing its button, or by using
your Cochlear Nucleus 7 Remote Control or the Nucleus Smart
app.
People with certain types of hearing loss can wear the processor
in Hybrid
™
mode by adding an acoustic component which sends
amplified acoustic sound into the ear canal.
A number of tools and accessories are supplied with your
processor.
NOTES
• Refer to the relevant sections for cautions and warnings
relating to the use of the Nucleus 7 Sound Processor,
batteries and components.
• Please also refer to your Important Information document for
essential advice that applies to Cochlear implant systems.

Battery life
Batteries should be replaced as needed just as you would
with any other electronic device. Battery life varies
according to the programs used each day, your implant
type, the thickness of skin covering your implant, and the
size and type of battery.
The rechargeable battery’s lifespan is at least 400 charge
cycles. A completely empty rechargeable battery will take
approximately four hours to recharge.
Rechargeable batteries may take longer to fully recharge
with age. To get the longest life from the rechargeable
batteries, always recharge before use.
To help you get the longest life from the batteries, your
sound processor will turn off two minutes after you take it
off your implant, if enabled by your clinician.

12 NUCLEUS 7 SOUND PROCESSOR USER GUIDE
Charge rechargeable batteries
There are two chargers that can be used with the
rechargeable battery modules:
• Cochlear Nucleus 7 Y Battery Charger (see page 14)
• Cochlear Nucleus 7 USB Battery Charger (see
page 16).
Before you start
Your Nucleus 7 rechargeable battery module has built-in
safety and monitoring features. Read this section before
using your battery charger.
SLEEP MODE
After manufacture, new rechargeable battery modules are put into
“sleep mode” which lasts for up to 2 years. This keeps some power
in the battery, as a completely flat battery won’t charge.
WHAT DO I DO? Before using a new battery module, you need to
“wake it up” by connecting it to a charger until it is fully charged.
STORING BATTERIES
Your rechargeable battery module will lose some power if you do
not use it for a period of time.
WHAT DO I DO? Charge your battery module before storing it.
CHARGING TEMPERATURE
Rechargeable battery modules have a built-in temperature sensor.
New batteries must be charged at 0 – 45° C (32 – 113° F). If battery
module temperature is outside this range, the LED will flash orange
(error).
WHAT DO I DO? Charge new rechargeable battery modules at a
room temperature of 0 – 45° C (32 – 113° F).

POWER
FLAT BATTERIES
Even if your rechargeable battery module goes flat while being used
with your Nucleus 7, it should hold some battery life.
This means you can recharge a flat battery module up to 1 year after
running it flat.
WHAT DO I DO? Charge your flat battery module after use.
NOTE
If a rechargeable battery module is too flat to charge, the
LED will flash orange (error).
BATTERY HEALTH CHECK
Rechargeable battery modules have a built-in “health check”. If it
detects a problem, it will turn the battery off. If the problem is
fixed, the battery will turn back on again.
WHAT DO I DO? If a battery turns off, disconnect and reconnect it
to your processor. If this does not restore power, contact your
clinician.
CONNECTING TO ACCESSORIES
Some accessories (e.g. monitor earphone adaptor, FM adaptor) are
“sandwiched” between the rechargeable battery module and your
processing unit.
If you leave them attached after use, this will drain the battery.
WHAT DO I DO? Don’t leave your battery module attached to an
accessory after use.
Don’t attach an accessory with a rechargeable battery module
attached to the battery charger. This will cause an error.
