Important information or advice.
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
processors at a time and can provide extra
troubleshooting functions. For more
about remotes, please consult your remote
user guide.
People with certain types of hearing loss can wear the processor in
Hybrid mode by adding an acoustic component. The acoustic component
sends amplified acoustic sound into the ear canal.
A number of tools and accessories are supplied with your sound processor.

Warning
Rechargeable batteries
In certain circumstances, rechargeable batteries can become VERY
HOT, and could cause injury. Remove your processor immediately if it
becomes unusually warm or hot, and seek advice from your clinician.
Parents and caregivers should touch their child’s or recipient’s processor
to check for heat if the child or recipient is showing signs of discomfort.
Rechargeable batteries should NEVER be worn beneath clothing
(including scarves and headwear covering the ears). The rechargeable
battery should not be used by patients who cannot remove the device
by themselves, or notify a caregiver that the device has become hot.

You have a choice of three battery types with the CP900 series processors:
Battery life
Batteries should be replaced as needed just as you would with any other electronic device.
Battery life varies according to the programs used each day, the thickness of skin covering
your implant, and the size and type of battery.
The rechargeable battery’s lifespan is at least 365 charge cycles. A completely empty
rechargeable battery will take approximately four hours to recharge.
Rechargeable batteries may take longer to fully recharge with age. To get the longest life
from the rechargeable batteries, always recharge before use.
