Assemble and change cables
See figure 20
Changing the cable is something you should only
have to do occasionally. Using the correct method
reduces the risk of accidentally damaging the cable
and the cable sockets in the Sound Processing unit
and the Actuator unit.
Remember to leave the Actuator unit connected
when storing the sound processor in the Dry &
Store unit overnight.
1 Hold the cable by the grips and firmly pull
it straight out of the socket on the Sound
Processing unit. Do not twist.
2 Hold the base of the plug and firmly pull the
cable.
To attach a new cable, push the cable plug into
3
the Actuator unit until it clicks into place.
4 Push the cable into the cable socket on the
Sound Processing unit until it clicks into place.
