  • Page 3 Each day the red line will get a little longer (fast at the start, slower as it approaches the end), and at the end of two months, the timer window will be completely red. Replace it with a new Dry-Brik at that time, and deposit the depleted Dry-Brik in household refuse. 3. Place the activated Dry-Brik in Zephyr (Figure 4). 4.

Close the lid and press the button on the right side of the unit. The green indicator will illuminate for the duration of the eight-hour cycle, after which the unit will turn off automatically. Zephyr can also be turned off by pressing the button a second time. Best results come from an entire Zephyr cycle, but drying will occur from periods as short as one hour. Using Zephyr with Cochlear Implant Equipment Behind-the-ear processors and other implant hardware must be kept dry to function properly. Regular Zephyr use can also make a significant difference in zinc-air battery life, especially in hot and humid weather. (Individual results may vary.) Leave zinc-air batteries in the processor (where applicable) but remove the battery cover. Place the processor, headpiece and cable in the front compartment and follow the instructions for use to the left. General Product Care Do not operate Zephyr in high-humidity locations such as a bathroom. Keep the lid closed at all times, because the effectiveness of the Dry-Brik will be reduced due to moisture adsorption from the surrounding air. Clean surfaces with a soft cloth. Never use strong cleaning agents or abrasives. Do not spray any liquid into the tray.
