🄱 To prevent children from swallowing or choking on batteries, always keep new
and used batteries out of the reach of children. Children shall be instructed not
to swallow or put any components of their MED‑EL Cochlear Implant System
into their mouths or to play with any components. Swallowing of system
components could cause suffocation or internal injury. When the user is a
young child, the battery pack cover lock must always be turned clockwise into
the locked position (see Fig. 6) once the cover has been moved completely over
the frame to prevent the child from disassembling the audio processor.
🄱
Do not allow children to replace batteries without adult supervision.
Changing the batteries of your audio processor
When the indicator light on the control unit blinks red continuously ( ), the
battery set must be replaced (see also chapter 8, Troubleshooting).
To change the batteries, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the audio processor and the coil from your head.
2. Make sure that the battery pack cover lock is in the unlocked position as shown in
Fig. 6. When it is not in the unlocked position, use the screwdriver provided with
your SONNET 2 kit to turn it counter‑clockwise into the unlocked position.
3. Pull back and completely remove the battery pack cover.
4. Replace the used battery set by removing the two batteries with the coil magnet. To
do so move the centre of the bottom part of the coil over each battery separately.
Try not to touch the battery contacts (see Fig. 43).
Important
Be careful not to place the coil on the control unit.
5. Before inserting the new battery set, make sure that the battery contacts are clean
and dry. Remove the foil stickers covering the zinc air batteries before use. Check
for correct polarity when inserting the new batteries. The positive pole
+ must
face outward, i.e. the + sign is still visible after the batteries have been inserted.
6. Make sure that the battery pack cover lock is in the unlocked position as shown in
Fig. 6. When it is not in the unlocked position, use the screwdriver provided with
your SONNET 2 kit to turn it counter‑clockwise into the unlocked position.
7. Slide the battery pack cover completely over the battery pack frame to switch on
the audio processor (see Fig. 3). Mind the correct orientation of the battery pack
