CAUTIONS
Remove external equipment to stop stimulation if sounds cause discomfort.
•
It is important for the headpiece to have the correct magnet strength to
•
avoid discomfort or retention issues. If an insufficient number of magnets
are used, the headpiece may fall off more than is acceptable. If too many
magnets are used, the recipient may experience irritation or discomfort. Consult
a clinician if there are any concerns regarding magnet strength. If deemed
appropriate, an audiologist may insert additional magnets or remove magnets
from the headpiece. Do not place additional magnets in the headpiece unless
under the direction of a cochlear implant professional. If the recipient experiences
any redness, irritation, or discomfort, discontinue use of the headpiece immediately
and contact a cochlear implant center. See the headpiece Instructions for Use for
additional information regarding adjustment of headpiece magnet strength.
If the sound processor or accessories become unusually hot or warm, discontinue
•
use immediately and contact Advanced Bionics or a clinician.
Store additional headpieces away from items with magnetic strips (e.g. credit
•
cards, hotel room key cards), as this may de-magnetize cards.
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment, including radios and
•
cellular phones, may affect sound quality of the Naída CI sound processor and
accessories; however, there is no safety hazard associated with such equipment.
The Naída CI sound processor and accessories should be used in accordance
•
with the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) information provided in the Guidance and
Manufacturer's Declaration section of the Instructions for Use.
Only use the charger provided for charging AB PowerCels. Do not use it to
•
charge other batteries. Do not try to charge Naída CI PowerCels using a charger
other than the one provided by Advanced Bionics.
Remove batteries from your sound processor when they are drained to prevent
•
damage from possible leaking.
Do not expose any part of the Naída CI sound processor or accessories to extreme
•
heat, such as an oven, microwave, or hair dryer.
Only charge batteries using charger(s) recommended by the manufacturer.
•
Do not use your AB myPilot or ComPilot accessories when instructed not to use
•
wireless electronic devices, such as on airplanes.
The AB myPilot should not come within 1/2" (1 cm) of the Naída CI processor

while stimulating the implant. Doing so could cause the implant and sound
processor to lose lock. If this happens, power down the processor and power back
on (by disengaging the battery and reattaching).
The digitally-coded, inductive transmission technology used in this device is
•
extremely reliable and experiences virtually no interference from other devices.
It should be noted, however, that when operating the device near a computer
terminal or other strong electromagnetic fields, it may be necessary to be at least
24" (60 cm) away to ensure proper operation. If the Naída CI does not respond
to the implant device because of an unusual field disturbance, move away from
the disturbing field.
If the AB myPilot stops being able to transmit commands to the sound processor,
•
it may be necessary to re-pair the AB myPilot with your sound processor. Consult the
Pairing to the AB myPilot section of this user manual.
If volume commands from your AB myPilot to your sound processor seem erratic,
•
re-pair the AB myPilot and the Naída CI.
When streaming audio with the ComPilot, if your headpiece becomes
NOTE:
•
unlocked, turn off the ComPilot prior to re-locking your headpiece. Not doing so
may prevent the sound processor from communicating with your implant.
The following are examples of situations where high levels of electrostatic charge may be created:
Walking, crawling, or sliding on carpets.
•
Sliding on plastic slides.
•
Exiting an automobile.
•
Pulling sweaters on and off.
•
Touching TV or computer screens.
•
Removing bedding materials.
•
To reduce the likelihood of electrostatic discharge damage:
Touch a person or object with your fingers prior to touching your or your child's headpiece, cable,
•
or sound processor.
Touch metal surfaces with your hand prior to allowing equipment to contact the metal surface.
•
This is particularly important on the playground where high levels of static electricity can be
generated. It is important to discharge any static electricity by touching a metal surface with your hand
prior to allowing the sound processor, cable, or headpiece come into contact with the metal surface.
Take care to avoid contact between your cochlear implant equipment and metal surfaces
•
when exiting a vehicle.
