Processor.
If you are new to your processor it is recommended that you read
the Nucleus Freedom Quick Start Guide before reading this manual.
The Quick Start Guide will provide you with the essential information
you need to familiarize yourself with the basic operations of your
processor.
Once you understand the basic functions of your processor, this
manual provides more in-depth information that’s outside the scope
of the Quick Start Guide – particularly in the areas of advanced user
operations, maintenance and troubleshooting.
This manual provides the most comprehensive source of information
available for your processor.
Overview
Your processor is used together with a Nucleus Freedom Implant,
Nucleus 24 Implant (specifically the CI24R and CI24M models) or a
Nucleus 22 Implant to transmit sound to the cochlea.
Your processor consists of a Processing Unit, coil and a choice of four
wearing options.
The BTE Controller allows your processor to be worn behind the ear
as a BTE Processor. It is powered by three 675 disposable batteries or
the BTE rechargeable battery.
The Mini BTE Controller also allows your processor to be worn
behind the ear as a BTE Processor. It is powered by two 675
disposable batteries.
The Bodyworn Controller is worn on the body. It uses either two
AAA nickel/metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries, or disposable alkaline
batteries.
