the safety line and clip it to your shirt or jacket.
Cochlear recommends connecting the safety line
when engaging in physical activities. Children
should use the safety line at all times.

a pen in the small hole on the battery door and
gently open the battery compartment.
2. To lock the device, gently close the battery
compartment until it is completely closed.

swallowed. Be sure to keep your batteries
out of reach of small children and household
pets. In the event a battery is accidentally
swallowed, seek immediate medical attention
at the nearest emergency centre.

Your Baha sound processor is a delicate electronic
device. Follow these guidelines to keep it in proper
working order:
• When not in use, turn off your sound processor
and store it free from dust and dirt.
• If you will not be using your sound processor for
a long period, remove the battery.
• During physical activities, secure your sound
processor by using the safety line.
• Remove your sound processor before applying
hair conditioners, mosquito repellent and or
similar products.

Turn on your sound processor and snap it onto
the test rod using the tilt technique. Hold the
rod against the skull bone behind an ear. Plug
both ears and listen.
To avoid feedback (whistling), the sound
processor should not touch anything other
than the test rod.
