the sound processor as this may result in
feedback.

Replace the battery
See figure 8
The visual indicators and beeps will alert
you when there is approximately one hour
of battery power remaining. At this time
you may experience lower amplification.
If the battery runs down completely the
sound processor will stop working.
Use one of the batteries (zinc-air, non-
rechargeable) included in the sound
processor kit as a replacement. The
batteries included in the kit reflect
Cochlear’s latest recommendations.
Contact your hearing care professional for
additional batteries.
1. To replace the battery hold the sound
processor with the front facing up.
2. Gently open the battery door until it is
completely open.
3. Remove the old battery and dispose of
it according to local regulations.
4. Remove the new battery from the
packet and peel away the sticker on
the + side.
5. Insert the battery into the battery
compartment with the + side facing
up.
6. Gently close the battery door.
Tips
• To maximise battery life, switch off the
sound processor when it is not in use.
• Battery life decreases as soon as the
battery is exposed to air (when the
plastic strip is removed) so be sure to
only remove the plastic strip directly
prior to use.
• Battery life depends on daily use,
volume levels, wireless streaming,
sound environment, program setting,
and battery strength.
• If a battery leaks, replace it
immediately.
Lock and unlock the battery door
See figure 9
You can lock the battery door to prevent it
from opening accidentally (tamper-proof).
This is particularly useful to prevent
children, and other recipients in need of
supervision, from accidentally accessing
the battery.
1. To lock the battery door, close the
battery door completely and place the
Locking tool into the battery door slot.
Slide the locking pin up into place.
2. To unlock the battery door, place the
Locking tool into the battery door slot.
Slide the locking pin down into place.

WARNING:
Batteries can be harmful if swallowed,
put in the nose or in the ear. Be sure
to keep your batteries out of reach
of small children and other recipients
in need of supervision. Before use,
verify that the battery door is properly
locked. In the event a battery is
accidentally swallowed, or stuck in the
nose or in the ear, seek immediate
medical attention at the nearest
emergency centre.
Attach the Safety line
See figure 10
To use the Safety line, simply attach it to
the sound processor and clip it on to your

• For cleaning your sound processor
and snap coupling use the
Baha sound processor Cleaning kit.
If the sound processor becomes very
wet
1. Immediately open the battery door
and remove the battery.
