Naída CI Sound Processor User Guide 5
while stimulating the implant. Doing so could cause the implant and sound
processor to lose lock. If this happens, power down the processor and power back
on (by disengaging the battery and reattaching).
• The digitally-coded, inductive transmission technology used in this device is
extremely reliable and experiences virtually no interference from other devices.
It should be noted, however, that when operating the device near a computer
terminal or other strong electromagnetic fields, it may be necessary to be at least
24” (60 cm) away to ensure proper operation. If the Naída CI does not respond
to the implant device because of an unusual field disturbance, move away from
the disturbing field.
• If the AB myPilot stops being able to transmit commands to the sound processor,
it may be necessary to re-pair the AB myPilot with your sound processor. Consult the
Pairing to the AB myPilot section of this user manual.
• If volume commands from your AB myPilot to your sound processor seem erratic,
re-pair the AB myPilot and the Naída CI.
• NOTE: When streaming audio with the ComPilot, if your headpiece becomes
unlocked, turn off the ComPilot prior to re-locking your headpiece. Not doing so
may prevent the sound processor from communicating with your implant.
The following are examples of situations where high levels of electrostatic charge may be created:
•Walking, crawling, or sliding on carpets.
•Sliding on plastic slides.
•Exiting an automobile.
•Pulling sweaters on and off.
•Touching TV or computer screens.
•Removing bedding materials.
To reduce the likelihood of electrostatic discharge damage:
•Touch a person or object with your fingers prior to touching your or your child’s headpiece, cable,
or sound processor.
•Touch metal surfaces with your hand prior to allowing equipment to contact the metal surface.
This is particularly important on the playground where high levels of static electricity can be
generated. It is important to discharge any static electricity by touching a metal surface with your hand
prior to allowing the sound processor, cable, or headpiece come into contact with the metal surface.
•Take care to avoid contact between your cochlear implant equipment and metal surfaces
when exiting a vehicle.
