Wearing your processorYour processor is designed to fi t neatly and comfortably behind your ear. You can also wear the processing unit behind the ear and attach the battery module to the body. This provides greater comfort and fl exibility for both adults and children.You can change the processor coil cable, coil magnet and earhook for optimal comfort (e.g. if the coil cable length is too short, you can easily change the cable to a longer one).This section describes how to wear your processor and wearing options. Placing your processor on your earTo be able to hear sound from the processor, it needs to be placed on the ear.To place your processor on your ear:Place the processing unit over your ear while holding the coil in the 1. other hand. Place the coil on your head. The coil magnet should hold it in place 2. over your implant.You may fi nd it easier to turn on your processor before placing it on your ear. To turn it on, press and hold the lower button for at least one second until you see short fl ashes of green. The number of fl ashes you see corresponds to the number of your current program (e.g. if your current program is program 2, you see two green fl ashes).When you turn on your processor before placing it on your ear, you may see fl ashes of orange. This indicates that the coil is not placed on your head. If the fl ashes do not stop even after placing the coil on your head, see Understanding indicator lights for more information.© Cochlear Limited 2009 CP810 Sound Processor User Guide - 15195992 Iss3 CP810 user guide 01.indd 15 13/05/2009 4:23:22 PM
