Batteries
Use only type 675 batteries to power your RONDO. We recommend using
zinc-air batteries that are designed especially for hearing implant systems.
When you use RONDO 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 RONDO and extend its life.
General Cleaning
Clean RONDO 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 RONDO from exposure to water. If your audio processor gets wet,
gently wipe it dry with a soft absorbent cloth.
Sunlight
Don’t leave RONDO 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 RONDO 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.
Refer to your user manual for more information
about care and maintenance.
RONDO
Don’t put rechargeable batteries
into the drying kit.

Troubleshooting
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 RONDO and change the batteries. If that doesn’t solve the
problem, go to 2.
2. Disassemble your RONDO and 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 22–23.) If any parts appear damaged,
contact your CI centre for assistance.
3. Reassemble RONDO. (See instructions on pages 2–3.) If your processor
still isn’t working, go to 4.
4. Use the Speech 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 RONDO.
2. Place the at side of RONDO under the Speech Processor Test Device.
3. Speak into the RONDO microphones. 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 microphones.
If the indicator light doesn’t icker, go to 5.
5. Change the batteries and speak into the microphones.
If the indicator light doesn’t icker, contact your CI centre.
