  • Page 10: Neuro One Sound Processor Description

    The sound processor is identified visually by its marking and serial number. The serial number of your Neuro One sound processor is indicated on the inside of the battery compartment: “Pxxxx” (for example P1495/P = sound processor generation / xxxx = serial number).
  • Page 11: Using The Neuro One Sound Processor

    • Connect the antenna cable to the sound processor via the antenna socket. The ends of the antenna cable and of the Neuro One sound processor antenna are equipped with a foolproof key. The connection of the antenna cable to the sound processor, as well as the antenna cable to the antenna, must ensure that the foolproof key is facing in the right direction with respect to the socket and the cable (see paragraph "Sound...
  • Page 12: Ear Hook

    For an optimal fit of the sound processor on the ear (notably for paediatric use or active/sport activities), we recommend that you use the silicon holding buckle provided in the Neuro One accessories box. It is recommended that you refer to the “Accessories Instructions for use” to see how to fit this.
  • Page 13: Powering The Sound Processor

    It is recommended that you keep the batteries in a dry place away from temperature variations and observe the expiry date indicated on the packaging. The two batteries used for powering the Neuro One must be the same type and be changed at the same time.
  • Page 14: Private Alarm

    Private alarm The Neuro One sound processor indicates the end of the battery life by consecutive audible beeps (private alarm) that cannot be heard by those around you. Your clinician must first configure this functionality at the time of an adjustment, so that you may benefit from this private alarm.
  • Page 15: Inserting/Changing Batteries

    • Open the battery compartment and remove both batteries. • Place your Neuro One in the desiccation drying system and follow the steps in the related instructions or in the “Accessories user manual”, and close it until using the sound processor again.
  • Page 16: Programme Button

    Warning: This sound processor is equipped with an automatic restart device in case of malfunction. This leads to momentary power loss. 5. Programme button The Neuro One sound processor enables four different programmes to be saved (P1, P2, P3, P4). The person responsible for the settings can define these programmes according to your preferences and conditions of use (normal surroundings, noisy surroundings, use of FM system, Telecoil, etc.).
  • Page 17: Indicator Light

    In case of a significant error that may alter the stimulation, the sound processor restarts (leading to momentary power loss) and then the light flashes quickly and extinguishes. If the problem persists, contact your local distributor or the Oticon Medical after-sales service.
