Using FM

FM use is a critical feature for many cochlear implant users, particularly in school-
aged children, to help overcome diffi culties hearing in the presence of noise,
reverberation, and distance from the speaker. The Neptune sound processor enables
use of wireless FM systems by attaching the FM receiver directly to the Neptune
Connect.
Note: To avoid any unpleasant sounds, ensure that your sound processor is turned
off before attaching or removing an FM receiver. Read operating instructions
provided with your FM system prior to using FM with your Neptune processor.
To attach an FM Receiver:
1.
With the sound processor turned off, hold the sound processor with Neptune
Connect attached in one hand.
2.
With the other hand, align the three FM connector pins with the Euro connector
on the top of the Neptune Connect. Take care to ensure that the FM receiver pins
match the size and orientation of the holes on the Neptune Connect. Failure to do
so may cause damage to the FM receiver and/or the Neptune Connect.
3.
Firmly press the FM receiver into place on the Neptune Connect.
4.
Adjust the program position to the desired location for FM use.
5.
Reduce volume and sensitivity settings.
6. Turn on the sound processor.

To remove an FM receiver:
1.
