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 sufﬁ cient to keep your processor warm and working well. In very cold weather, wear a hat or headband over your processor.

When you are not wearing your processor, do not leave it in very hot areas (e.g. in direct sunlight, behind a window, in a car, etc.).

For information on operation and storage temperatures for your processor, see Technical information, Environmental Conditions.

Protecting your processor from dust and water damage

To protect your processor from dust and water damage, it is important that you follow the guidance provided in this section.

When using a rechargeable battery module, your processor has a dust and water damage protection rating of IP57. This protects the processor against the following:

Penetration of solid foreign objects greater than or equal to 1.0 • mm diameter.

Failure from dust penetration.•

Failure from temporary immersion in water. •

When using the standard battery module (disposable batteries), your processor will have a protection rating of IP44. This protects the processor against the following:

Penetration of solid foreign objects greater than or equal to 1.0 • mm diameter.

195992 Iss3 CP810 user guide 01.indd 55 13/05/2009 4:25:34 PM

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.

Ensure that the coil cable plug seal is not damaged and that the • coil cable plug is properly inserted into the processor coil cable socket.

Always keep the coil cable plugged into the processor to prevent • moisture getting into the coil cable socket. It is also important that you keep the coil cable plugged into the coil.

If the battery contacts on the battery module become loose, • contact your clinician as the connector between the processing unit and the battery module could be broken.

Drying your processor

Remove your processor before applying cosmetics, skin care or hair products. These substances can get into your processor and damage it. If this happens, wipe the processor clean with a soft dry cloth.

Do not wear your processor while bathing, swimming or showering. If the processor does get wet, dry the processor as follows:

Wipe your processor with a soft dry cloth. 1.

2. Place your processor in the Zephyr Dry & Store® for at least 12 hours.
