Batteries

Use only type 675 batteries to power your OPUS 2. We recommend using
high-power zinc-air batteries that are designed especially for cochlear implant
systems. When you use OPUS 2 with the WaterWear accessory, however, you
must substitute zinc-air batteries with one of the other types.

Basic Care and Maintenance

Follow these basic and important care instructions to help improve
the functioning of your OPUS 2 and extend its life.

General Cleaning

Clean OPUS 2 regularly by wiping it with a soft, damp cloth.
Don’t use cleaning solutions. Use extra care when cleaning
small parts such as the battery contacts.

Battery Contacts

Inspect the battery contacts regularly; clean and dry them
as necessary. To clean them, use a cotton swab and a small
amount of rubbing alcohol. Gently wipe them dry. Avoid
touching the battery contacts.

Moisture

Protect OPUS 2 from exposure to water. If your audio processor
gets wet, gently wipe it dry with a soft absorbent cloth.

Sunlight

Don’t leave OPUS 2 in direct sunlight, especially inside
of a vehicle. Don’t expose your audio processor to
extreme temperatures.

Drying

Use the drying kit every night to allow OPUS 2 to dry out
completely. Remove the battery pack cover before putting it
into the drying kit with your audio processor. Disposable
batteries can be left in the frame and put into the drying kit.

OPUS 2

Don’t put rechargeable batteries into the drying kit.

Refer to your user manual for more
information about care and maintenance.

26 27

In case you encounter any minor technical problems, such as an
interruption in sound, carefully follow these steps to identify possible
causes and solutions:

1. Remove your OPUS 2 and change the batteries.
If that doesn’t solve the problem, go to 2.

2. Disassemble your OPUS 2 into ve parts: control unit, battery pack frame,
battery pack cover, coil cable, and D Coil. (For guidance, see pages 2–3.)

3. Check each part for dirt or signs of damage.
Gently clean any processor parts that are dirty and
wipe dry any parts that are wet. (See instructions on pages 26–27.)
If any parts appear damaged, contact your CI centre for assistance.

4. Reassemble OPUS 2. (See instructions on pages 2–3.)
If your processor still isn’t working, go to 5.

5. Use the Speec h Processor Test Device to troubleshoot your audio processor.

Speech Processor Test Device

The Speech Processor Test Device (SPTD) is a troubleshooting tool for
detecting the most common audio processor problems. To troubleshoot
with the SPTD, follow these steps:

1. Switch on your OPUS 2.

2. Place the at side of the D Coil under the Speech Processor Test Device.

3. Speak into the OPUS 2 microphone. The indicator light should icker to
the rhythm of your voice. If it doesn’t, go to 4.

4. Adjust the volume and speak into the microphone.
If the indicator light doesn’t icker, go to 5.

5. Change the batteries and speak into the microphone.
If the indicator light doesn’t icker, go to 6.

6. Replace the coil cable.

If your OPUS 2 still isn’t working or for immediate assistance, please contact
your CI centre. For complete troubleshooting instructions, visit medel.com.
