Step 2:
Place the processor comfortably in position behind the ear.
Step 3:
Place the headpiece over your implant (you will feel the magnetic attraction).
Step 4:
Adjust volume to a comfortable level.
Step 5:
If set by the audiologist (typically for children or those with caregivers), the LED
Status Indicator will verify the lock status (the red light will flash rhythmically with loss
of lock) and microphone status (the green light should flicker when snapping your
fingers or when speaking in a loud voice near the microphone).
Step 6:
If necessary, perform a behavioral listening check, for example say a few words or
check if the Ling 6 sounds (ah, oo, ee, s, sh, mm) can be detected/repeated.
Operating Your Harmony Processor
Program Switch
The Harmony can store up to three programs (P1, P2, P3). The switch has three
positions to represent each program. P1 is at the bottom, P2 is in the middle, and P3
is at the top.
Volume Control
The volume control adjusts the loudness level of the program. The volume position is
indicated by the white dot located on the dial.
Built-in Telecoil
If enabled by the audiologist, the Built-in Telecoil offers access to private and public
loop systems in some cinemas and meeting rooms and with hearing-aid–compatible
telephones.

Connectivity Options

Standard Earhook
When the Standard Earhook is used, the built-in microphone located at the top of
the processor is the primary source for capturing sound.
T-Mic™ Microphone
Many users find that the T-Mic provides superior everyday performance especially in
localizing sounds and in noisy environments. It can be used easily with headphones
and telephones, including mobile phones.

Auria Direct Connect Earhook
This earhook is a quick way to connect to the external T-coil and with the Direct
Connect Cable and Audio Interface Cable, to battery-powered audio devices such as
MP3 players, CD players, FM systems, and other assistive listening devices.
Auria iConnect ™ Adapter
The iConnect provides cable-free connection to miniature FM receivers worn directly at
ear level.

Light Emitting Diode (LED) Status Indicator

PowerCel Charge Status
When a PowerCel is inserted onto the processor, the LED will blink as follows:
• 4 quick ORANGE blinks indicate that the PowerCel is fully charged
• 2–3 quick ORANGE blinks indicate that the PowerCel is sufficiently charged to
power the system
• 1 quick ORANGE blink indicates that the PowerCel charge is nearly depleted
• If the Orange LED doesn't light up at all, the PowerCel is completely depleted
Lock Status (programmable feature)
The term lock refers to the successful communication between your processor and
implant. The PowerCel charge status sequence will be followed by a RED light that
will begin to flash approximately once per second until lock is achieved. Once your
headpiece is properly positioned on your head, and information is transmitting to
your implant, the flashing will stop. In addition, if at any time during regular use the
Harmony processor loses lock with your implant the RED LED will flash approximate-
ly once per second until lock is re-established.
Microphone/System Status (programmable feature)
When the battery and lock sequences are complete, the light should flicker GREEN
with loud inputs (e.g., when you snap your fingers or speak near to the headpiece
microphone) to indicate normal operation.
Low Battery and Change Battery Indicators (programmable feature)
When the PowerCel is near depletion but still able to support stimulation, a steady
ORANGE light (low battery indicator) will illuminate indicating that it is time to change
the PowerCel. When the PowerCel is depleted to the point that it is unable to support
stimulation but not completely depleted, the ORANGE light will blink twice every 3
seconds (change battery indicator). Once the PowerCel is fully depleted, no light will
emit from the processor, and no sound will be transmitted to your implant.
NOTE:
The Microphone/System Status, Low Battery Indicator, Lock Status, and Change Battery Indicator
are features that are programmed by your audiologist. Please consult with your audiologist to determine if
these features have been enabled for your Harmony processor in any or all of your programs.
Processor Error Indicator
In rare instances, your Harmony processor LED may emit a continuous RED light.
This indicates a potential problem with your Harmony processor. If this should occur,
first remove and replace your power source. If this does not resolve the problem,
please contact your audiologist for additional troubleshooting.
