Connecting accessories via
the Direct Audio Input (DAI)
See figure
5
Match the accessory connector with the sound
processor's DAI connector. While holding the
sound processor gently at the corners, carefully
push the accessory connector into the DAI port.
Dedicated DAI program and
microphone mixing
An optional DAI program that is set by your
hearing care professional allows you to listen
exclusively to sounds through the DAI.
In all other programs, input from the DAI is
combined with input from the microphone.
Using the telecoil
The telecoil unit improves sound when using
some landline (fixed) and mobile telephones. It
also gives you access to loop facilities in homes
and public buildings. Attach the telecoil to the
DAI port.
Using the Audio adapter
The Audio adapter allows direct input from
computers, personal stereos, TVs, MP3 players
and other external audio equipment. One end
of the Audio adapter is connected to the sound
processor at the DAI. The other end is connected
to the audio device.
Caution: Connecting electrical
equipment directly to the sound
processor is extremely dangerous. Always use
the Audio adapter when connecting an external
audio source to your sound processor.
Cochlear is not liable for any damage arising as
a result of connecting unsuitable equipment or
incorrect use.

Using an FM receiver
An FM receiver enables the use of FM systems that
are commonly used in school classrooms.
Your hearing care professional can provide you
with a list of available FM receivers. Attach your
FM receiver to the DAI port. Keep extra batteries
available if using an FM receiver as they have high
energy consumption rates.
Warnings and precautions
Caution: If you are to undergo an MRI
(Magnetic Resonance Imaging) procedure,
refer to the MRI Reference Card included in the
document pack.
• If the SP magnet is too weak the sound processor
may fall off. If it is too strong you may feel
discomfort or experience soreness and irritation
of the skin. If you are unsure about the strength
of your SP magnet, contact your hearing care
professional.
• If you experience persistent irritation or soreness
of the skin, or if the SP magnet gives you any
discomfort, remove it and contact your hearing
care professional.
• If you wear hats, etc. be sure to avoid pressure
on your SP magnet as this may cause irritation to
the tissue under this magnet.
• Do not wear your sound processor and SP
magnet while sleeping as this may cause
irritation to the skin under the SP magnet.
• Keep the SP magnet in a safe place and keep it
away from magnetic cards (e.g. credit cards, bus
cards, etc.) as these may be damaged by the
magnet.
