• Do not use a ComPilot if recipient has a pacemaker, as there is potential for
interference. Contact a health care professional for more information.
• Ensure appropriate supervision when child is wearing the Naída CI Q90 sound
processor and accessories.
• Keep batteries and accessories out of children’s reach as they may pose a choking hazard.
• If any parts are swallowed consult a physician or hospital immediately.
• Do not leave children unattended with or allow them to play with batteries.
• Do not place batteries in your mouth.
• Do not chew or swallow batteries. If this occurs, seek immediate medical attention.
• Do not allow children to play with or operate the drying system unattended.
• Using your sound processor and accessories in a manner other than their
intended use (e.g. placing them in your mouth or chewing them) may cause
bodily harm.
• Do not recharge disposable batteries.
• Do not allow leaking battery fluid to come into contact with skin, mouth, or eyes.
• Do not expose batteries to heat (e.g., do not store in direct sunlight or in a hot car).
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Do not allow children to charge batteries unattended.
• Do not use any power supply with the sound processor, AB myPilot remote
control or ComPilot unless it is supplied by Advanced Bionics or Phonak. If
needed, contact Advanced Bionics for a power supply replacement.
• Do not use the AB myPilot or the ComPilot when they are plugged in to power
sources such as wall outlets or USB compatible power sources such as laptops.
• The ComPilot comes with a neck loop antenna. Do not touch the neck loop
connectors at the same time.
• Power supplies and battery chargers should be operated in an open area to ensure
adequate airflow. While, to date, no injuries have been reported, components may
become hot during normal use or in the event of a fault. If the device’s temperature
results in discomfort or pain when touched, disconnect the power source and
contact your local Advanced Bionics representative.

CAUTIONS
• Remove external equipment to stop stimulation if sounds cause discomfort.
• It is important for the headpiece to have the correct magnet strength to
avoid discomfort or retention issues. If an insufficient number of magnets
are used, the headpiece may fall off more than is acceptable. If too many
magnets are used, the recipient may experience irritation or discomfort. Consult
a clinician if there are any concerns regarding magnet strength. If deemed
appropriate, an audiologist may insert additional magnets or remove magnets
from the headpiece. Do not place additional magnets in the headpiece unless
under the direction of a cochlear implant professional. If the recipient experiences
anyredness,irritation,or discomfort,discontinueuseofthe headpieceimmediately
and contact a cochlear implant center. See the headpiece Instructions for Use for
additional information regarding adjustment of headpiece magnet strength.
• If the sound processor or accessories become unusually hot or warm, discontinue
use immediately and contact Advanced Bionics or a clinician.
• Store additional headpieces away from items with magnetic strips (e.g. credit
cards, hotel room key cards), as this may de-magnetize cards.
• Portable and mobile RF communications equipment, including radios and
cellularphones,mayaffectsoundqualityoftheNaídaCIQ90soundprocessorand
accessories; however, there is no safety hazard associated with such equipment.
• The Naída CI Q90 sound processor and accessories should be used in accordance
with the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) information provided in the Guidance and
Manufacturer’s Declaration section of the Instructions for Use.
• Only use the charger provided for charging AB PowerCels. Do not use it to
chargeotherbatteries.DonottrytochargeNaídaCIQ90PowerCelsusingacharger
other than the one provided by Advanced Bionics.
• Remove batteries from your sound processor when they are drained to prevent
damage from possible leaking.
• Do not expose any part of the Naída CI Q90 sound processor or accessories to
extreme heat, such as an oven, microwave, or hair dryer.
• Only charge batteries using charger(s) recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not use your AB myPilot or ComPilot accessories when instructed not to use
wireless electronic devices, such as on airplanes.
• The AB myPilot should not come within 1/2” (1 cm) of the Naída CI Q90 processor

Naída CI Q90 Sound Processor User Guide 5
while stimulating the implant. Doing so could cause the implant and sound
processor to lose lock. If this happens, power down the processor and power back
on (by disengaging the battery and reattaching).
• The digitally-coded, inductive transmission technology used in this device is
extremely reliable and experiences virtually no interference from other devices.
It should be noted, however, that when operating the device near a computer
terminal or other strong electromagnetic fields, it may be necessary to be at least
24”(60cm)awaytoensureproperoperation.IftheNaídaCIQ90doesnotrespond
to the implant device because of an unusual field disturbance, move away from
the disturbing field.
• If the AB myPilot stops being able to transmit commands to the sound processor,
it may be necessary to re-pair the AB myPilot with your sound processor. Consult the
Pairing to the AB myPilot section of this user manual.
• If volume commands from your AB myPilot to your sound processor seem erratic,
re-pair the AB myPilot and the Naída CI Q90.
• NOTE: When streaming audio with the ComPilot, if your headpiece becomes
unlocked, turn off the ComPilot prior to re-locking your headpiece. Not doing so
may prevent the sound processor from communicating with your implant.
• Patients are advised that the use of WindBlock, EchoBlock and/or SoundRelax
may affect the quality of sound.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
High levels of static electricity may damage electronic components of your sound processor or
implant. Care should be taken to avoid exposure of the system to static electricity. ESD is present
when you feel a spark jump from your body or your hair
stands on-end.
The following are examples of situations where high levels of electrostatic charge may be created:
• Walking, crawling, or sliding on carpets.
• Sliding on plastic slides.
• Exiting an automobile.
• Pulling sweaters on and off.
• Touching TV or computer screens.
• Removing bedding materials.

6 Naída CI Q90 Sound Processor User Guide
To reduce the likelihood of electrostatic discharge damage:
• Touch a person or object with your fingers prior to touching your or your child’s headpiece, cable,
or sound processor.
• Touch metal surfaces with your hand prior to allowing equipment to contact the metal surface.
This is particularly important on the playground where high levels of static electricity can be
generated.Itisimportanttodischargeanystaticelectricitybytouchingametalsurfacewithyourhand
prior to allowing the sound processor, cable, or headpiece to come into contact with the metal
surface.
• Take care to avoid contact between your cochlear implant equipment and metal surfaces
when exiting a vehicle.
• Remove cochlear implant equipment prior to removing clothing that may contain electric
charge (e.g. sweaters).
• Do not touch TV or computer screens. If screens are touched, be sure to touch an object
other than your implant system to discharge any charge build-up prior to touching any part
of your implant system.
• Use fabric softener on clothing and bedding.
Airport Security Metal Detectors
Metal detectors and security scanners, including full body scanners, will not damage your
implant system; however, metal detectors may be activated as you pass through. To avoid
hearing any unwanted sound when walking through metal detectors or security scanners, you
should reduce the volume on the sound processor or remove your headpiece.
Ultrasonic Sensors
Ultrasonic sensors, sometimes used in lighting sensors and security systems, will not damage
your implant system; however, they may be picked up by the headpiece microphone and lead
to distorted sound quality when you operate your sound processor in the immediate vicinity
of such a sensor. Additionally, if the ultrasonic sound is of a very high intensity, the processor
system microphone may become damaged. To avoid hearing any unwanted sound, you should
reduce the volume on your sound processor or remove your headpiece when passing near an
ultrasonic sensor (e.g. in entrances to libraries).
X-ray Machines
X-ray machines will not damage your sound processor or implant, but may damage your Naída
CI Q90 and head piece microphones. Avoid placing any system microphones in any checked
or carry-on baggage that is screened with X-ray. During airport security screenings, the sound
processor and microphone should be worn through the metal detector or examined by hand.
