4 Naída CI Sound Processor User Guide
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
