Caution: Batteries can be harmful
if swallowed. Be sure to keep your
batteries out of reach of small children, those
with mental challenges, and household pets. In
the event a battery is accidentally swallowed,
seek immediate medical attention at the
nearest emergency center.
General processor care
Your Baha sound processor is a delicate electrical
instrument. Follow these guidelines to maintain
its proper working order:
• If you will not be using your sound processor for
any length of time, remove the battery door to
let the sound processor ventilate.
• If you will not be using the sound processor for a
long period, remove the battery.
• When not in use, turn off your sound processor
and store it free from dust and dirt.
• During physical activities, secure your sound
processor using the safety line. If the physical
activity involves contact, Cochlear recommends
removing your sound processor and protecting
the implant site with a sweat band or similar.
• Remove your sound processor before applying
hair spray or gel. If using hair dye, remove the
sound processor.
Using Share the Experience

Baha sound processor.
