User Guide for the Platinum Series Sound Processor 9Headpiece & CableSingle-Unit HeadpieceThe single-unit headpiece integrates the system’s microphone and transmitter in anattractive headpiece, which is easily worn directly over the implant.Two different headpieces are available for use with the processor depending on yourimplant type. A “flat bottom” style headpiece is used with the Clarion 1.0, 1.2 andCII Bionic Ear cochlear implants because these have a flat surface ceramic casing.A “curved bottom” style headpiece is used with the HiRes 90K® implant. The curvedheadpiece is designed to conform more comfortably to the shape of this implant.Both style headpieces function in the same way.Your headpiece is held in place by a magnet which lines up with an internal magnetthat is located in the implant. When placing the headpiece on your head, theheadpiece centers itself as the two magnets attract each other. If the headpiecedoes not couple with the implant correctly, the red LED indicator (on the processor)will flash once per second (and the alarm will sound if this feature is activated) whenthe processor is turned on. This will continue until lock is obtained. The headpiececomes with an adjustable magnetic strength. During programming, your audiologistwill determine the most appropriate magnetic strength for you using the minimummagnet size to achieve good headpiece retention. If you experience problems withheadpiece retention, irritation or skin redness under the area of the headpiece,contact your programming center.NOTE : We recommend that you do not add or remove magnets from theheadpiece without first consulting your programming center.The microphone in the headpiece is located behind the hole on the color cap. Thejack that connects the cable to the headpiece is located at the bottom of the headpiece.NOTE : Your headpiece should be serviced only at AB. Do not attempt to open orrepair the headpiece base. Unauthorized opening of the headpiece basewill void the warranty.Color CapsYour Platinum Headpiece comes with six interchangeable Headpiece Color Caps,a headpiece color cap removal tool to change the color cap, and a headpiece clip.NOTE: The headpiece magnet(s) is located under the color cap. Be carefulnot to lose the magnet(s) when changing the color caps. Felt disks areincluded with the headpiece to secure the magnets in place. |
