2 - OTHER DIRECT CONNECTION AIDS

The Saphyr processor has an integrated direct connection compatible with various auxiliary
hearing systems such as those below, available in the shops or suggested by your local distributor
and Neurelec.
Mobile kit
Compatibility Audio cable
FM system
Use of such systems requires prior adjustment at your implantation centre to define a specific
new program: It is necessary to define the audio mix between sound captured by your processor
microphone and that of the auxiliary system. Then all you have to do is to connect your system to
the "AUX" socket of the Saphyr, switch on the equipment used (telephone, MP3 player, etc) and
select the program defined by your audiologist (P1, P2, P3 or P4). It is possible to define a program
by type of auxiliary system.
For more information on the conditions and recommendations for use relating to these auxiliary
hearing aid systems, please refer to the "User's Manual for Accessories" supplied in this case.

MAINTENANCE AND USER ADVICE

1 - MAINTENANCE

Precautions

The Saphyr processor contains high performance electrical components that can be damaged.
It should therefore be used with caution. If you drop it, check that the device continues to function
normally. If you are not sure, do not hesitate to repair it. Contact the Neurelec after service, which
is the only location competent to guarantee maintenance of its products.
It is important not to immerse your processor in water in order to avoid damaging the electronic
components. Accordingly, do not wear the device in the shower, in the bath, or while swimming.
If it drops into salty water, turn off the processor, remove the batteries, and immediately rinse the
material in clear water. Let it dry for 24 hours.
Be careful always to disconnect the antenna lead without abrupt movements while holding the
socket with two fingers. You risk damaging the lead if you pull it straight down. We strongly
advise that you own one or several reserve lead s. We recommend an annual checkup of your
device, which will allow verifying that is functioning properly and will verify the calibration of the
microphones, thus optimizing their lifetime.
