Your sound processor is a delicate
electronic device. Follow these guidelines
to keep it in proper working order:

The kit is provided by Cochlear in the
sound processor box.
• After exercise, wipe your processor
with a soft cloth to remove sweat or
dirt.
• If the sound processor gets wet
or is exposed to a very humid

new one.

6.2 IP classification

The electronics compartment in your
sound processor is protected against
damage by dust and by immersion in
water. It has achieved an IP68 rating
and is tested for immersion in water for
35 minutes at 1.1 meter depth. However
your sound processor has a battery that
requires air to operate which malfunctions
if wet. The sound processor with battery
achieves an IP42 rating.
If your sound processor becomes
wet and malfunctions:
1. Remove your sound processor from
the head.
2. Open the battery door and remove
the battery.
3. Put your sound processor in a
container with drying capsules such
as a Dri-Aid Kit, etc. Let your sound
