Cochlear Limited 20114 323649 Iss 3 CP900 Series Sound Processors | User guides CP900 Series Sound Processors | User guides 5Cochlear Limited 2011AboutThe Cochlear Nucleus CP900 Series Sound Processors works with your Cochlear Implant to transfer sound to the ear. Your processor is made up of a processing unit, earhook, coil, coil cable and a battery module. You can choose either the CP910 or the CP920 processing unit. The CP920 processing unit is smaller than the CP910 and has no accessory port.You can power your processing unit with a range of battery modules. The range includes a tamper resistant battery module that uses disposable batteries, a standard rechargeable and compact rechargeable battery module, and a LiteWear cable that allows the battery to be worn on the body.You can control your sound processor as a stand-alone device by pressing the buttons on the processor. All stand-alone functions are covered in this guide.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 bilateral processors at a time and can provide extra troubleshooting functions. All remote functions are covered in separate user guides. People with certain types of hearing loss can wear the processor in Hybrid mode by adding an accessory called the acoustic component. The acoustic component sends extra acoustic sound into the ear canal. Hybrid mode must be set up by your clinician. A number of tools and accessories are supplied with your sound processor. The most important of these are your drying pack, screwdriver, and microphone protector applicator with removal tool. WarningDo not allow children under three to play with the system.

To avoid any possible buzzing sounds in your ear, turn off the telecoil. Ask your clinician for a Nucleus 6 ID card. In the unlikely event that your implant sets off a metal detector the ID card will help you explain that you have an implanted medical device. Do not place sound processors directly onto conveyor belts as you move through airports. Place them in a bag or plastic tray. Your sound processor will not interfere with a plane's navigation system so you won't need to turn it off during takeoff and landing.  NoteVisit www.cochlear.com/clinic-fi nder to fi nd the nearest clinic in the places you are travelling
