4. General precautions and warnings
This section contains information on the safe use of your AudioStream. Please read this
information carefully. Your healthcare provider or local MED‑EL representative will assist
you with any additional questions you may have.
AudioStream contains electronic components which require special precautions regarding
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
Always follow the guidelines outlined in this section and chapter Technical data, Guidance
and manufacturer’s declaration.
• Always use AudioStream with the compatible battery pack frame or rechargeable
battery adapter.
• Always handle AudioStream with care to achieve maximum lifetime and to avoid any
risks.
• The electronics are durable but must be treated with care.
• Do not use AudioStream under environmental conditions other than those described in
chapter Technical data.
• The defined operating temperature range for AudioStream is between 0 °C and +50 °C
(+32 °F and +122 °F). Avoid excessive heat. Excessive heat might damage AudioStream
and make it unusable.
• Do not leave AudioStream in direct sunlight (especially inside a car). Long exposure to
direct sunlight could damage AudioStream.
• Avoid getting AudioStream wet as this may impair its function. If AudioStream gets
wet, make sure to disassemble it from your audio processor, wipe it dry and place it
in your drying kit. Always remove and switch off the external parts of your MED‑EL
Cochlear Implant System and keep them in a dry place before bathing, showering or
engaging in other water‑related activities.
• Do not use AudioStream in the vicinity of strong ionizing radiation (x‑ray machines) or
electromagnetic fields (MRI). Such radiation or fields may stop your MED‑EL Cochlear
Implant System from working.
• Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables
and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 in.) to any part of
AudioStream, including cables specified by MED‑EL. Otherwise, degradation of the
performance of AudioStream could result.
• Do not use AudioStream in environments where radio frequency (RF) transmissions are
prohibited.
• Use of audio processors other than those specified or provided by MED‑EL could result
in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of
AudioStream and result in improper operation.
