Caring for your processor
Your processor is a medical device requiring good care and maintenance
to ensure that it provides optimal hearing performance. This section
provides guidance on how to take care of your processor.
Wearing your processor in cold or hot
temperatures
Your processor is designed to work in cold or hot temperatures.
Generally, in cold temperatures your body heat is suffi cient to keep your
processor warm and working well. In very cold weather, wear a hat or
headband over your processor.
When you are not wearing your processor, do not leave it in very hot
areas (e.g. in direct sunlight, behind a window, in a car, etc.).
For information on operation and storage temperatures for your
processor, see Technical information, Environmental Conditions.
Protecting your processor from dust and water
damage
To protect your processor from dust and water damage, it is important
that you follow the guidance provided in this section.
When using a rechargeable battery module, your processor has a dust
and water damage protection rating of IP57. This protects the processor
against the following:
Penetration of solid foreign objects greater than or equal to 1.0 •
mm diameter.
Failure from dust penetration.•
Failure from temporary immersion in water. •
When using the standard battery module (disposable batteries), your
processor will have a protection rating of IP44. This protects the
processor against the following:
Penetration of solid foreign objects greater than or equal to 1.0 •
mm diameter.
