The Cable

The cable transfers signals between the headpiece and the processor. At one end of
the cable is a single-pin (coaxial) plug that is inserted into the headpiece jack. The
jack is located at the top of the processor. At the other end of the cable is a two-pin
plug that is inserted into the headpiece. A strain relief portion near the two-pin plug
is designed to protect the cable from damage during handling.
To Replace the Cable:
• Turn the program control to the off (o) position.
• Remove the headpiece from the cable by holding the cable at its strain relief
portion and gently pulling the cable away from the headpiece. Disconnect the
cable from the processor.
• Insert the single-pin plug of the replacement cable into the headpiece jack on the
processor, and insert the two-pin plug into the headpiece connector. Take care to
match the larger pin on the plug to the larger hole of the headpiece connector.
• Repeat the system check, steps 1-3. If the microphone function is not restored,
reconnect the first cable, and replace the headpiece.
