About
The Cochlear Nucleus CP900 Series Sound Processors works with your Cochlear Implant to transfer sound to the ear. Your processor is made up of a processing unit, earhook, coil, coil cable and a battery module.
You can choose either the CP910 or the CP920 processing unit. The CP920 processing unit is smaller than the CP910 and has no accessory port.
You can power your processing unit with a range of battery modules. The range includes a tamper resistant battery module that uses disposable batteries, a standard rechargeable and compact rechargeable battery module, and a LiteWear cable that allows the battery to be worn on the body.
You can control your sound processor as a stand-alone device by pressing the buttons on the processor. All stand-alone functions are covered in this guide.
You can also choose a Cochlear Nucleus CR210 Remote Control or CR230 Remote Assistant to control your processor. The remotes let you control one or two bilateral processors at a time and can provide extra troubleshooting functions. All remote functions are covered in separate user guides.
People with certain types of hearing loss can wear the processor in Hybrid mode by adding an accessory called the acoustic component. The acoustic component sends extra acoustic sound into the ear canal. Hybrid mode must be set up by your clinician.
A number of tools and accessories are supplied with your sound processor. The most important of these are your drying pack, screwdriver, and microphone protector applicator with removal tool.
Warning
Do not allow children under three to play with the system. Removable parts of the system can be lost or may be a choking hazard.

LiteWear is made up of a LiteWear cable, case and a choice of fi xing aids.
Note
You can wear a Snugfi t with LiteWear to hold the processing unit more securely on the ear.
You can travel with your sound processor with confi dence because Cochlear is supported by clinics all over the world.
Take a printout of your most recent program in case you need help with your
processor.
If you have a back-up sound processor, check that it is programmed correctly
and take it with you.
It's okay to move through metal detectors and full body scanners with your
sound processor on. To avoid any possible buzzing sounds in your ear, turn off the telecoil.
Ask your clinician for a Nucleus 6 ID card. In the unlikely event that your
implant sets off a metal detector the ID card will help you explain that you have an implanted medical device.
Do not place sound processors directly onto conveyor belts as you move
through airports. Place them in a bag or plastic tray.
Your sound processor will not interfere with a plane's navigation system so
you won't need to turn it off during takeoff and landing.

Care for your acoustic component
Replace Power domes
The acoustic component accessory is used only by people who are set up to use their processor in Hybrid mode.
Caution
Handle your sound processor and acoustic component with care above fl at surfaces. Never drop them or twist the receiver cable.
If you use Power or Plus domes:
Every day:
Check the wax fi lter in the receiver and change it whenever it is clogged with
wax or the system does not sound normal.
Domes have an additional inbuilt fi lter. Check the inbuilt fi lter and change
the dome whenever it is clogged with wax, or whenever the dome is dirty, discoloured or losing shape.
If you use Power or Micro moulds:
Every day:
Clean the earmould and receiver cable with the supplied brush, a soft dry
cloth or our recommended cleaning fl uids, Hadeo™ and Cedis® ONLY. Wipe any traces of wax away from the opening of the vent.
Pull the dome off using your
1
fi ngernails if necessary and discard.
