2 Switching on and off and batteries When the PowerCel (battery pack) is attached, the device is on. Removing the PowerCel turns off the device. The PowerCel is rechargeable and plugs into the charging bay. PowerCel slim lasts for 14 hours PowerCel Plus lasts for 24 hours The PowerPak body worn battery unit The Auria can be worn with a Powerpak which contains one AA battery. The flat end of the battery needs to be next to the spring. The Powerpak is connected to the processor by the Powerpak unit which slides on and off the processor in the same way as the Powercel. There is a latch on the unit which must be pushed up to lock it in place. Auria headpiece with attached cable Take care inserting the cable into the connection point.

3 Earhooks The earhook can be detached by turning it a little more than ¼ turn either to the right or the left and then gently pulling it apart. To put it back on again, align the earhook in the normal position and gently push it on until it clicks. Standard earhook To be used when the processor s built in microphone is the primary source for capturing sound. T-Mic earhook For everyday use. Has an omni-directional microphone which is worn in the bowl of the ear. Particularly useful in noisy environments or on the phone. Direct connect earhook Used to link with bodyworn radio aid receivers and various battery powered audio devices eg ipod, CD player. Will also need to use two cables: a Direct Connect cable (from earhook) and an audio interface cable (to the device). iconnect earhook There are two types of iconnect The one at the top is the newer small iconnect (CI /220/320) which takes any A10 size hearing aid battery. The bottom one is the older adult version. (CI /200/300) This requires ZeniPower batteries which are only available from Advanced Bionics or from Connevans. These ear hooks are for use with cable free ear level radio aid receivers eg Phonak Microlink MLxS, micro MLxS and MLxi (full dynamic). The receiver is plugged directly into the earhook

4 The FireFly This is an illuminated earhook which provides visual feedback to parents and educators on how the processor is working. FireFly earhook Once the battery is connected, if the processor is communicating effectively with the implant, the light should glow continuously. However if there is a problem: Glows continuously No light Yellow blinking light (once a second) Flickers continuously All working well. Check the battery. Check the program position is correct. Ensure headpiece retention is good. If still flashing use sensor (see troubleshooting), then change headpiece. Ensure that the child is wearing their own processor and not that of another child or the other ear.

5 Telecoil There is an external telecoil (T-Coil) which can be used with the direct connect earhook. A program needs to be assigned by the clinic in order to use it. When using a loop system or hearing aid compatible telephone, that program should be selected. Using accessories These are attached via the direct connect earhook with the direct connect lead. You may need to use two cables: a Direct Connect cable (from earhook) and an audio interface cable to the device. It may be necessary to use an alternative program when using an accessory. This needs to be checked with the CI centre.
