Remember to leave the Actuator unit connected
when storing the sound processor in the Dry &
Store unit overnight.

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

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 for eight hours.
If sand or dirt ever enter the processor, shake
2
the components carefully to remove it and
change the microphone protectors.
