FineTuner
CONFIGURING THE
Once synchronized, the RONDO and Fine Tuner
remain synchronized until one of the two pieces
of equipment needs to be changed. It should
only occasionally be necessary to synchronize
the FineTuner and audio processor. Examples
include use of a back-up audio processor or
second FineTuner.

9
To congure the FineTuner:
1. Turn off your processor.
2. Place the coil of the processor
over the MT key on the FineTuner.
3. Turn on the processor.
4. The audio processor and the
FineTuner will be synchronized
automatically.
5. Successful synchronization is
indicated by a short blinking
signal of the two amber indicator
lights on the FineTuner.
When to congure the FineTuner
For users with a cochlear implant on
each ear (bilaterally implanted), one
FineTuner can be used for both ears.
However, a FineTuner can only be
synchronized with one audio
processor for each ear.
The FineTuner only needs
to be congured:
1. At the initial audio
processor tting.
2. When using a different
or additional processor
(e.g., back-up, loaner or
replacement, bilateral).
3. When using a different FineTuner.

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