12 NUCLEUS 7 SOUND PROCESSOR USER GUIDECharge rechargeable batteriesThere are two chargers that can be used with the rechargeable battery modules:• Cochlear Nucleus 7 Y Battery Charger (see page 14)• Cochlear Nucleus 7 USB Battery Charger (see page 16).Before you startYour Nucleus 7 rechargeable battery module has built-in safety and monitoring features. Read this section before using your battery charger.SLEEP MODEAfter manufacture, new rechargeable battery modules are put into “sleep mode” which lasts for up to 2 years. This keeps some power in the battery, as a completely ﬂat battery won’t charge.WHAT DO I DO? Before using a new battery module, you need to “wake it up” by connecting it to a charger until it is fully charged.STORING BATTERIESYour rechargeable battery module will lose some power if you do not use it for a period of time.WHAT DO I DO? Charge your battery module before storing it.CHARGING TEMPERATURERechargeable battery modules have a built-in temperature sensor. New batteries must be charged at 0 – 45° C (32 – 113° F). If battery module temperature is outside this range, the LED will ﬂash orange (error).WHAT DO I DO? Charge new rechargeable battery modules at a room temperature of 0 – 45° C (32 – 113° F).DRAFT ONLY FOR CLINICAL TESTING592753_1-06_EN_CP1000_UG_EMEA.indd 12 14/06/2016 1:22:58 PM

13NUCLEUS 7 SOUND PROCESSOR USER GUIDEPOWERFLAT BATTERIESEven if your rechargeable battery module goes ﬂat while being used with your Nucleus 7, it should hold some battery life.This means you can recharge a ﬂat battery module up to 1 year after running it ﬂat.WHAT DO I DO? Charge your ﬂat battery module after use.NOTE If a rechargeable battery module is too ﬂat to charge, the LED will ﬂash orange (error).BATTERY HEALTH CHECKRechargeable battery modules have a built-in “health check”. If it detects a problem, it will turn the battery off. If the problem is ﬁxed, the battery will turn back on again.WHAT DO I DO? If a battery turns off, disconnect and reconnect it to your processor. If this does not restore power, contact your clinician.CONNECTING TO ACCESSORIESSome accessories (e.g. monitor earphone adaptor, FM adaptor) are “sandwiched” between the rechargeable battery module and your processing unit.If you leave them attached after use, this will drain the battery.WHAT DO I DO? Don’t leave your battery module attached to an accessory after use.Don’t attach an accessory with a rechargeable battery module attached to the battery charger.

77NUCLEUS 7 SOUND PROCESSOR USER GUIDEOTHER INFORMATIONDisposable batteriesCheck the battery manufacturer’s recommended operating conditions for disposable batteries used in your processor.Wireless communication linkThe wireless communication link operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band using GFSK (Gaussian frequency-shift keying), and a proprietary bidirectional communication protocol. It continuously switches between channels to avoid interference on any speciﬁc channel. • The remote control operates over 4 channels, over a distance of up to 2 metres from the processor. It indicates via its display when the processor is out of operating distance (or switched off) or when the link is interrupted due to broad spectrum interference (see remote’s user guide for more information). • The True Wireless accessories operate over 16 channels, over a distance of up to 3 metres for the Phone Clip, and 7 metres for the Mini Microphone and TV Streamer.Bluetooth Smart also operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, using Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) to combat interference. Operating range is up to 7 metres, and the app indicates when the processor is out of operating distance (or switched off) or when the link is interrupted due to broad spectrum interference.DRAFT ONLY FOR CLINICAL TESTING592753_1-06_EN_CP1000_UG_EMEA.indd 77 14/06/2016 1:23:59 PM
