Electrostatic Discharge - Cochlear Baha 5 Manual Del Usuario

Theft and metal detection systems
and Radio Frequency ID (RFID)
systems:
Devices such as airport metal detectors,
commercial theft detection systems, and RFID
scanners may produce strong electromagnetic
fields. Some Baha users may experience a
distorted sound sensation when passing through
or near one of these devices. If this occurs, you
should turn off the sound processor when in the
vicinity of one of these devices. The materials
used in the sound processor may activate metal
detection systems. For this reason, you should
carry the Security Control MRI Information Card
with you at all times.

Electrostatic discharge

A discharge of static electricity can damage the
electrical components of the sound processor
or corrupt the program in the sound processor.
If static electricity is present (e.g. when putting
on or removing clothes over the head or getting
out of a vehicle), you should touch something
conductive (e.g. a metal door handle) before your
sound processor contacts any object or person.
Prior to engaging in activities that create extreme
electrostatic discharge, such as playing on plastic
slides, the sound processor should be removed.
Warnings
General advice
A sound processor will not restore normal
hearing and will not prevent or improve a hearing
impairment resulting from organic conditions.
• Infrequent use of a sound processor may not
enable a user to attain full benefit from it.
• The use of a sound processor is only part of
hearing rehabilitation and may need to be
supplemented by auditory and lip reading
training.

Warnings
• The sound processor is a digital, electrical,
medical instrument designed for specific use. As
such, due care and attention must be exercised
by the user at all times.
• The sound processor is not waterproof!
• Never wear it in heavy rain, in the bath or
shower!
• Do not expose the sound processor to extreme
temperatures. It is designed to operate
within the temperature ranges +5 °C (+41 °F)
to +40 °C (+104 °F). In particular, battery
performance deteriorates in temperatures
under +5 °C. The processor should
+50 °C
(+122 °F)
not be subjected, at any time,
to temperatures below -20 °C
(-4 °F) or above +50 °C
(+122 °F).
• Contains small parts that
-20 °C
may present a choking
(-4 °F)
hazard.
• Adult supervision is recommended when the
user is a child
• This product is not suitable for use in flammable
and/or explosive environments.
• The sound processor and other external
accessories should never be brought into a
room with an MRI machine, as damage to the
sound processor or the MRI equipment could
occur.
• The sound processor must be removed before
entering a room where an MRI scanner is
located.
• If you are to undergo an MRI (Magnetic
Resonance Imaging) procedure, refer to the MRI
Reference Card included in the document pack.
• Portable and mobile RF (radio frequency)
communications equipment can affect the
performance of your sound processor.
• The sound processor is suitable for use in
electromagnetic environments with mains
power of typical commercial or hospital quality,
and power frequency magnetic fields of typical
commercial or hospital levels. It is intended
for use in an electromagnetic environment
in which radiated RF (radio frequency)
disturbances are controlled.
• Interference may occur in the
vicinity of equipment with the
symbol to the right.
• Dispose of batteries and
electronic items in accordance with your local
regulations.
• Discard your device as electronic waste
according to local regulations.
• When the wireless function is activated, the
sound processor uses low-powered digitally
coded transmissions in order to communicate
with other wireless devices. Although unlikely,
nearby electronic devices may be affected. In
that case, move the sound processor away from
the affected electronic device.
• When using wireless functionality and the
sound processor is affected by electromagnetic
interference, move away from the source of this
interference.
• Be sure to deactivate wireless functionality
when boarding flights.
• Turn off your wireless functionality by using
the flight mode in areas where radio frequency
emission is prohibited.
• Cochlear Baha wireless devices include an
RF transmitter that operates in the range of
2.4 GHz–2.48 GHz.
• For wireless functionality, only use Cochlear
Wireless accessories. For further guidance
regarding e.g. pairing, please refer to the
user guide of the relevant Cochlear Wireless
accessory.
• No modification of this equipment is allowed.
• Portable RF communications equipment
(including peripherals such as antenna cables
and external antennas) should be used no closer
than 30 cm (12 in.) to any part of your Baha 5,
including cables specified by the manufacturer.
Otherwise, degradation of the performance of
this equipment could result.
• Use of accessories, transducers and cables other
than those specified or provided by Cochlear
could result in increased electromagnetic
emissions or decreased electromagnetic
immunity of this equipment and result in
improper operation.

Statement:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from the one in which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
• Changes or modifications can void the user's authority
to operate the equipment.
Intended use
The Cochlear™ Baha® 5 Sound Processor uses bone
conduction to transmit sounds to the cochlea (inner
ear). It is indicated for people with conductive hearing
loss, mixed hearing loss and single sided sensorineural
deafness (SSD). Furthermore it is indicated for bilateral
and paediatric recipients. Fitting range up to 45 dB SNHL.
It works by combining a sound processor and a small
titanium implant that is placed in the skull behind the
ear. The skull bone integrates with the titanium implant
through a process called osseointegration. This allows
