processor from dirt and moisture.

Care

Your processor should work well, even when used in very cold or hot
outdoor temperatures. Generally, in cold temperatures your body
heat is sufficient to keep your processor warm and working well. In
very cold weather, wear a hat or headband over your processor.
If worn in hot temperatures it should work well. However, when not
worn do not leave your processor in very hot areas, for example in
sunlight, behind a window or in a car.
For information on the temperature ranges your processor is tested
to perform within, see Technical information, Environmental conditions.
Do not wear your processor while bathing or swimming. If your
processor does get wet, wipe it dry with a soft cloth and place it in
the dry aid kit for at least 12 hours. If it subsequently does not work,
return it to your clinician. Cochlear Limited cannot guarantee that
they will be able to repair any water-damaged part.
Take off your processor when applying powder, makeup or hair
product. These substances can get into and damage your processor.
Avoid getting sand or dirt into any part of the system. If this happens,
shake out as much as possible, and if necessary contact your clinician
to arrange for its repair.

Storage

Store your processor overnight or when you are not using it, in a dry
aid kit or drying pack such as the Dry & Store . Moisture or humidity
®
may cause your processor to cut-out or stop working. Before using
the dry aid kit, read the manufacturer's instructions for use. It is
recommended that you store your processor fully assembled.
