Changing the batteries
Batteries should be replaced when any of the following occur:
•
Low or flat battery warning tones are heard
•
Low or flat battery help message shows on the display (H1 or
H2)
•
Low battery warning shows on the Bodyworn Controller (only a
small segment of the battery is on the display)
•
You stop hearing sound
•
The sound you hear becomes intermittent
For information on the warning sounds or indicators, see
Troubleshooting
.
Remove batteries when they are flat, or when the battery holder is
to be stored for a period of time.
Use only battery types recommended by your clinician or Cochlear
Limited. Other types may not have sufficient energy to allow your
processor to either function properly or last for a long time.
When using disposable batteries, never mix fully charged batteries
with partially charged ones. Always change each battery. It only
takes one low or flat battery to stop your processor from working.
Similarly, never mix brands or battery types, for example, Zinc Air
with alkaline batteries.
�
Flat batteries may leak corrosive fluids and cause damage if left
inside your controller.
Dispose of used batteries in accordance with your local
regulations. Never dispose of batteries in fire.
Do not let children replace batteries without adult supervision.
Make sure that batteries are kept out of reach of young
children.
Batteries can be harmful if swallowed. If swallowed, seek
prompt medical attention at the nearest emergency centre or
Poisons Information Centre.
