About .................................................................................................................. 2
The Cochlear™ Nucleus® CP802 Sound Processor is worn behind the
ear and is intended to be used by Cochlear Nucleus cochlear implant
recipients. The CP802 Sound Processor controls the cochlear implant
over a transcutaneous link and delivers both power and digital sound
signals. The cochlear implant electrically stimulates the auditory nerve
bypassing the non-functional inner ear of children and adults with
moderate to profound hearing loss.
The processor consists of a processing unit, earhook, coil, coil cable
and a CP802 Standard or Standard Rechargeable Battery Module, or a
CP802 Battery Pack and Battery Pack Cable.

2. Lift the cover off.
It is generally a good idea to change the microphone cover every two to
three months.
3. Clip the new microphone
cover back into place,
making sure the narrow end
of the cover is facing the
earhook.
The telecoil is used to receive sound signals from a telephone,
roomloop, neckloop, etc. It can also receive sound signals from an
amplifier, TV or Hi-Fi through an induction loop. The telecoil is a feature
that needs to be enabled by your clinician.
The telecoil is always turned off by default when you turn on your
processor. To turn on the telecoil, press the upper button. A single long
flash of green confirms that the telecoil is turned on.
To turn off the telecoil while using the processor, press the upper
button again. A single long flash of orange confirms that the telecoil

When an audio accessory is connected to your processor, you will not
receive any sound from the telecoil. To move back to using the telecoil,
remove the audio accessory from the processor. Turn off the telecoil
when not in use, as it reduces the microphone volume.
Auto Telecoil is a feature that can be offered by your clinician. When you
enable Auto Telecoil, the telecoil automatically turns on when you use
the telephone, or when you are in a roomloop environment. The telecoil
automatically turns off when:
• You move the telephone away from your processor (e.g. when the
telephone call ends).
• You exit the roomloop environment.
CAUTION
Certain electronic devices or machinery may automatically turn
on the telecoil. If this occurs, either wait for about 10 or 20
seconds for the telecoil to turn itself off, or manually turn it off
using the processor buttons.

each day, the thickness of skin covering your implant, and the size and
type of battery.
The rechargeable battery’s lifespan is at least 365 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.
Battery life, charge cycles and lifespan
• Battery life means the time a device will run before the
disposable batteries must be replaced, or the rechargeable
batteries recharged.
• Battery charge cycle means a cycle of one full charge and
discharge of the rechargeable battery.
• Battery lifespan means the total number of charge cycles a
rechargeable battery will last before the battery life degrades
to 80% of its original fully charged capacity.
