Use the tilt technique to safely and comfortably
connect and disconnect your sound processor,
thus reducing any undue pressure on the snap
connector and abutment. By tilting the sound
processor onto or off of the abutment, you will
avoid any discomfort.
To connect your sound processor:
Move hair from the abutment.

Once you are familiar with your processor, you
can change the program and the volume level
while the sound processor is attached to the
abutment. Make sure you support the processor
from the bottom with your thumb as you press
the buttons with your index finger.

See figure

The abutment cover protects the abutment when
the sound processor is not in place. This prevents
dirt from collecting in the abutment.
To attach the cover:
Gently press it onto the abutment. Lift the cover
to remove.
Care of abutment and sound
processor
Daily and weekly tasks are required to care for
your abutment and sound processor properly.
Cleaning the abutment
Skin debris or other dirt in the abutment can affect
the sound quality and lead to damage of your
sound processor. Therefore it is very important to
clean the abutment area thoroughly. Use the soft
abutment cleaning brush provided in your Baha
sound processor kit for cleaning.
Should you experience persistent irritation,
soreness or other signs of inflammation around
the abutment, contact your doctor or hearing care
professional.
