Changing Batteries; Battery Tips - Cochlear Baha BP100 Manual Del Usuario

Changing batteries

When there is approximately 1 hour of remaining
battery power, 2 beeps/flashes occur 3 times
to let you know that soon the battery will need
replacing. At this time you may experience low
amplification. If the battery runs down completely,
the sound processor will beep/flash and then stop
working.
Use one of the included batteries (zinc-air, non-
rechargeable) as a replacement. The batteries
included in the sound processor kit reflect
Cochlear's latest recommendations. Contact your
hearing care professional for additional batteries.

Battery tips

• Battery life decreases as soon as the battery is
exposed to air (plastic strip is removed).
• Battery life depends on daily usage, volume
setting, sound environment, program setting,
and battery strength.
• To maximize battery life, switch off the sound
processor when not in use.
• Keep extra batteries available if using an FM
receiver as they have high energy consumption
rates.
• If a battery leaks, immediately replace it.
Note: The inside of the battery door is lined
with a moisture barrier that prevents dust and
water from entering the sound processor. To
ensure an effective seal, Cochlear recommends
replacing the battery door every 6 months. In
humid environments, replace the battery door
more frequently.
Contact your hearing care professional
for additional battery doors.

Attach the battery door and slide it gently
back into its locked position.
Note: The battery hatch is permanently at-
tached to the sound processor and provides
additional protection against dust and moisture.
Extra care should be taken when opening or
closing to avoid accidental damage.
Optional tamper-proof
battery door
To prevent the user from accidentally opening the
battery door and exposing the battery, an optional
tamper-proof battery door is available. This is
particularly useful for children. The tamperproof
battery door should only be locked and unlocked
using the specially designed tool included in the
tamperproof battery door kit to avoid accidental
damage to the door. Contact your hearing care
professional for tamper-proof battery doors.
