67EnglishBatteriesThere are two different batteries for the Baha 5 SuperPower: the Standard Rechargeable Battery Module and the Compact Rechargeable Battery Module. Ask your hearing care professional for more information about the choice of battery.Battery lifeBatteries 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 sound environment, and the size of battery.These programs are suitable for different listening environments. Ask your hearing care professional to ﬁll in your speciﬁc programs.To switch programs, press and hold the upper button on your sound processor. If enabled, audible and visual indicators will let you know which program you are using:Program 1: 1 beep and 1 ﬂashProgram 2: 2 beeps and 2 ﬂashesProgram 3: 3 beeps and 3 ﬂashesProgram 4: 4 beeps and 4 ﬂashesChanging volume settings See figure 51 Press and release the upper button to increase volume.2 Press and release the lower button to decrease volume.You can also adjust the volume level with theoptional Cochlear Baha Remote Control, theCochlear Wireless Phone Clip or an iOS device(see Made for iPhone section).Using the telephone See figure 6For best results when talking on the telephone, place the receiver near the microphone inlet of your sound processor instead of near your ear. Make sure the receiver does not touch the sound processor, as this may cause feedback.Your sound processor is a Made for iPhone® hearing device (MFi). This lets you connect your sound processor directly with a compatible iPhone. When connected, you can stream audio directly from your iPhone to your sound processor.To stream wirelessly from other mobile and cordless phones you can use the optional Cochlear Wireless Phone Clip. You will need to check the compatibility of your phone with this product.Made for iPhone (MFI)Your sound processor is a Made for iPhone (MFi) hearing device. This allows you to control your sound processor and stream audio directly from iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Ask your hearing care professional or visit:www.cochlear.com for more information.Wireless accessoriesYou can use Cochlear Wireless accessories to enhance your listening experience. Ask your hearing care professional to learn more about your options or visit www.cochlear.com.To activate wireless audio streaming, press and hold the lower button until you hear a melody. See figure 7To end wireless audio streaming, press and hold the upper button. The sound processor will return to the previous program.Flight mode See figure 8When boarding a ﬂight, wireless functionality must be deactivated because radio signals may not be transmitted during ﬂights. To disable wireless operation:1 Turn off the sound processor by disconnecting the battery. 2 Press and hold the lower button and connect the battery at the same time.To deactivate ﬂight mode, turn the sound processor off and back on again by disconnecting and connecting the battery.Mains power light What it meansSteady greenBattery charger power is on.Does not light up Power adaptor is not plugged in or mains power is not available (or, if switched, is not turned on).Battery socket light What it meansSteady orangeBattery module is charging.Steady greenBattery module is fully charged.Flashing orangeThere is a problem with the battery module. Try a different socket. Replace the rechargeable battery module.Does not light up Battery module is not properly placed, is over-discharged or there is no power. Check the battery charger is powered on and reconnect the battery charger. If it still does not light up, replace the battery module.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. When there is approximately one hour of battery power remaining, you will hear an audio indicator comprising of two sets of four short beeps, and the visual indicator will ﬂash repeatedly. At this time you may experience low ampliﬁcation. If the battery runs down completely, the sound processor will beep and then stop working.

89EnglishWater, sand and dirt See figure 11Your sound processor is resistant to water, sand and dust. However, it is still a precision electronic device so the following precautions should be taken.1 If your processor ever gets wet, dry it with a soft cloth, change the microphone protectors and place it in the dry aid kit provided by Cochlear for 8 hours.2 If sand or dirt ever enter the processor, shake the components carefully to remove it and change the microphone protectors.Using Share the ExperienceSee figure 12Family members and friends can “share the experience” of bone conduction hearing. The test rod can be used by others to hear with the sound processor.To use the test rod:1 Turn on your sound processor and snap the Actuator unit onto the test rod using the tilt technique.2 Place the Sound Processing unit on the ear. Hold the rod against the skull bone behind an ear. Plug both ears and listen.Note: Your hearing care professional may have disabled some or all of the audible and/or visible indicators.Wear a SnugﬁtThe Snugﬁt holds your sound processor more securely in place than an earhook alone. It gives carers easy access to controls and accessories and is available in large, medium and tamper resistant (small).Attach a Snugﬁt See figure 131 Press ﬁrmly on the top of the earhook with your thumb to click it off the sound processor.2 Click your Snugﬁt into place 3 Carefully bend the lower part into shape to suit your ear.Remove a Snugﬁt4 Remove your Snugﬁt by clicking it off the processor.Wear a Mic Lock See figure 14The Mic Lock helps hold the processor securely on the ear.To attach the Mic Lock the ﬁrst time:1 Push the Mic Lock band onto the processor with the tubing facing forward.2 Place the processor on your ear and bring the tubing up to the earhook. 3 Trim the tubing to a length that will hold the processor ﬁrmly in place without discomfort. Do not cut it too short.4 Soften the end of the tubing in warm water and push it onto the tip of your earhook.5 Let the tubing cool before wearingAttach and remove processor covers See figure 151 To attach, slide the cover onto the processor.2 To remove, pull the cover away from the processor.Note: Snugﬁt, Mic Lock, and Processor covers are available as accessories. For more information, ask your hearing care professional or visit www.cochlear.comReplace microphone protectors See figure 16Replace your microphone protectors everythree months, whenever they look dirty orwhenever you notice any loss in soundquality. Always replace both microphoneprotectors at the same time.Remove microphone protectors1 Remove the protective cap from the Microphone Protector Removal Tool.2 Push the tip of the tool into the middle of the microphone protector.3 Turn the tool 90° clockwise4 Lift out the microphone protector and discard.Repeat steps 2 to 4 to remove the other micro-phone protector.Replace the batteryRemove the battery See figure 2Twist the battery module to remove it from the processing unit.Attach the battery See figure 2Align the battery module to the processor socket to ﬁt the parts together. Twist the battery module as shown to attach the parts. The processor will turn on automatically.Lock/Unlock the battery See figure 91 To increase tamper resistance, push the lock to the far left with your battery cover locking tool to lock the battery module.2 Push the lock to the far right to unlock the battery module.Charge battery modules See figure 101 Angle and ﬁt the rechargeable battery module into a socket on the Cochlear Nucleus® Battery Charger.2 Twist clockwise to connect.3 Connect the battery charger to the power adaptor and plug into mains power.General processor careYour Baha sound processor is a delicate electronic device.
