Light Emitting Diode (Led) Status Indicator; Powercel Charge Status; Lock Status; Microphone/System Status (Programmable Feature) - Advanced Bionics HARMONY User Manual

Light Emitting Diode (LED) Status Indicator

Your processor is equipped with a built-in Light Emitting Diode (LED) status indicator.
The LED is a diagnostic light that provides users, parents, caregivers or teachers with
information regarding the status of the processor. The LED is located above the
volume dial and can be programmed to provide the information that follows.

PowerCel Charge Status

When your processor is fi rst turned on, an ORANGE LED lighting sequence will
indicate the PowerCel charge status as follows:
• 4 quick blinks indicate that the PowerCel is fully charged.
• 2–3 quick blinks indicate that the PowerCel is suffi ciently charged to power the
processor.
• 1 quick blink indicates that the PowerCel charge is nearly depleted.
• ORANGE LED doesn't light up at all: The PowerCel is completely depleted.

Lock Status

The term lock refers to the successful communication between your processor and
implant. Following the PowerCel charge status sequence, a RED light will begin to
fl ash approximately once per second until lock is achieved. Depending on how the
LEDs are programmed by your audiologist, the light will begin to fl ash immediately
after the processor is unable to lock on your implant or it will begin to fl ash after
a 5-second delay. Once your headpiece is properly positioned on your head, and
information is transmitting to your implant, the fl ashing will stop.
Microphone/System Status (programmable features)
When the PowerCel status and lock sequence are complete, microphone and system
status can be verifi ed. A GREEN light will fl icker in response to loud sounds presented
near your microphone. This verifi es that the microphone is receiving sound, data
is being transmitted to the implant and your processor is receiving information back
from the implant. The GREEN light is not expected to illuminate continuously during
everyday use, especially if you are in a quiet environment.
NOTE: The microphone/system status is a feature that is programmed by your
audiologist. Please consult with your audiologist to determine if this feature
has been enabled for your processor in any or all of your programs. This
feature is disabled for programs with the built-in telecoil enabled.
