•
Ensure that the appropriate patch cable has been obtained for the make and
model of audio-appliance (i.e. CD player, Walkman) and HiRes Auria Processor.
•
With the audio-appliance in the off position and the processor turned down, attach
the appropriate ends of the patch cable to their respective input/output sockets.
The ends of the cable should be appropriately marked, as the attenuated end of
any cable should be closest to the processor.
•
If applicable to the audio-appliance set any volume and tone controls per the
manufacturer ’s recommendations.
•
Set the volume dial of the audio-appliance to the minimum setting.
•
Set the volume dial of the HiRes Auria Processor to the typical use settings.
•
Turn on the audio-appliance and turn up the processor in that order.
•
Increase the volume dial of the audio-appliance to a comfortable listening level or
to a specifically recommended level by the manufacturer.
Troubleshooting Tips
Ensure that the appropriate patch cable for the make and model of the audio-
appliance is being used. Do not substitute cables with unknown properties without
first consulting the implant-care professional or Advanced Bionics.
•
When

by

manufacturer and/or Advanced Bionics, they have been made under specific conditions.
•
Long cables tend to become tangled around objects. Take care when draping long
patch cables across busy areas at home and at work.
•
Some audio-appliances were designed in such a fashion that plugging a cable into
the audio-output/earphone port will disconnect the main speaker. Thus, others
may not be able to hear the stereo while you are connected using your specially
manufactured patch cable.
•
Proper care of the patch cable (i.e. avoid sharp bending of the cable) will maximize
its life.
