User Guide for the Platinum Series Sound Processor 7Microphone/System StatusWhen the battery and lock sequences are complete, microphone and system statuscan be verified. The green LED indicator will flicker in response to loud soundspresented near the microphone verifying that the microphone is receiving sound,that data is being transmitted to the implant, and that the processor is receivinginformation back from the implant. Increasing the sensitivity will cause the greenLED to flash in response to softer sounds, while decreasing the sensitivity willrequire more intense sounds for the LED to react. The green light is not expectedto illuminate continuously during everyday use, especially if the user is in a quietenvironment. Also, the green LED will not illuminate in response to sounds if youraudiologist has disabled the Automatic Gain Control (AGC) program feature for theselected program position.IntelliLink™ Implant ID Safety Feature or Processor Error ConditionThe IntelliLink safety feature checks the implant ID to make sure it is the correct onethat is programmed for stimulation with the processor. A rapidly blinking red lightwill appear should you accidentally attempt to use the wrong processor or attemptto lock to the wrong implant in the case of bilateral implants. A rapidly blinkingred light might alternatively indicate, in rare instances, that there is a processor errorcondition. If this should occur, first turn the processor to the off (o) position, removeand reconnect the battery, and turn the processor back on to the desired programor try another program position. If you are unable to resolve the problem, pleasecontact your audiologist for additional troubleshooting.Audible AlarmThe audible alarm is an optional feature that can be activated at the time ofprogramming. It is designed primarily for children in order to alert parents andteachers when the system is not transmitting sound to the implant or the battery isnear depletion. If the child’s headpiece falls off the head, the processor will beginto beep and the red LED will flash. When the child’s headpiece is replaced anddata is again being transmitted successfully, the alarm will stop. Beeping when theheadpiece is in place indicates a communication problem between the processorand implant. For more information, refer to the “Using the Platinum Series SoundProcessor” section of this manual. Additionally, when the battery is near depletionand cannot power the processor, the alarm will emit a slow beeping tone until thebattery dies or is replaced. |
