General processor care
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. Remove
your sound processor before applying hair
conditioners, mosquito repellent and or similar
products

Water, sand and dirt
See figure 11
Your sound processor is resistant to water, sand
and dust. However, it is still a precision electronic
device so the following precautions should be
taken.
If your processor ever gets wet, dry it with a
1
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 Experience
See figure 12
Family 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 Snugfit
The 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).

See figure 13
1 Press firmly on the top of the earhook with
your thumb to click it off the sound processor.

your ear.

processor.
Wear a Mic Lock See figure 14
The Mic Lock helps hold the processor securely on
the ear.
To attach the Mic Lock the first time:
Push the Mic Lock band onto the processor
1
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.
Let the tubing cool before wearing
