The Aquamic - Advanced Bionics NEPTUNE Manual De Uso

The Neptune sound processor works with two different headpieces: the Universal
Headpiece and the AquaMic. The Universal Headpiece (UHP), which works with all
Advanced Bionics' sound processors, is intended for use with the Neptune processor
outside of water environments.
For more information, refer to the 'Replacing Headpiece Cables' section of the User
Guide or the UHP and/or Cable 'Instructions for Use.'

The AquaMic

The AquaMic headpiece is designed for use during swimming, bathing, and
showering and carries an IP68 rating for water and particulate matter (e.g. dust,
sand) resistance. For more information, refer to the 'IP Rating Information' section of
the User Guide. Advanced Bionics has taken special care to ensure that the sound
quality provided by the microphone is similar to that of the Universal Headpiece
when using the AquaMic in open air. As with typical hearing, sound quality will be
altered when listening underwater.
To ensure optimal sound quality, it is advisable, after leaving the water environment,
to remove the headpiece Color Cap and gently shake your AquaMic after
submersion to remove any water that may have settled in the microphone opening.
Take care when shaking. Place your fi nger over the magnet well so as not to
dislodge and potentially lose the magnets. Further, you should wipe or blot the
AquaMic surface with a soft cloth to absorb any additional moisture. When no
longer in a water environment, it is recommended that you remove the AquaMic
from your Neptune sound processor and place it in your Zephyr by Dry & Store® or a
similar desiccant device to allow it to dry completely.
For more information, refer to the 'Replacing Headpiece Cables' section of the User
Guide or the AquaMic and/or Cable 'Instructions for Use.'
If any loud or uncomfortable sounds occur while the AquaMic is under water,
immediately remove your headpiece. Remove any excess water from the AquaMic
microphone or, once out of the water, attach a dry headpiece before re-placing on
your head.
