Wearing your Sound Processor
Your sound processor has been designed so you do not have to wear anything on
your ear. This design ensures the most comfortable, secure, and discreet wearing
options possible. Neptune cables come in a variety of lengths and colors to allow you
to customize your wearing preference. This section describes a variety of wearing
options for your Neptune sound processor.
Wearing the Neptune Sound Processor
The Neptune processor can be worn in a variety of locations using any one of a
variety of clips and/or pouches to suit your style. Use of some Neptune accessories
may obscure the sound processor LED; therefore, audible alarms may be desirable
for use with very young children to ensure caregiver notifi cation of loss of lock or low
battery status. The audible alarm can be activated by your clinician.
Using the Clip
The Neptune Clip is intended to attach directly to clothing in your preferred wearing
location. The clip can be placed on the sound processor with the Neptune Connect
attached or detached. However, the Neptune Connect should always be removed
prior to exposure to water.
To use the clip:
1.
Ensure the headpiece cable is attached to the sound processor on one end and
the appropriate headpiece on the other end.
2.
Hold the sound processor in one hand with the headpiece cable connector in the
desired orientation relative to the clip.
3.
Place the tongue of the clip in one of the grooves on the side of the Battery Cover.
4.
Place the tongue on the other side of the clip in the groove on the opposite side of
the Battery Cover. You should feel the clip snap in place.
5.
Depress the spring end of the clip to open and secure the sound processor to the
desired location on the clothing.
6.
To disengage the Neptune processor from the clip, gently pull the tongue back
and slightly upward out of the groove on one side of the Battery Cover. Then lift
the Neptune processor out of the clip.
