Overview

CII and Platinum BTE

Turning the CII/Platinum BTE On and Off
Placing the PowerCel on the processor turns the processor on. To turn the processor off, remove the PowerCel.

PowerCel
Rechargeable lithium ion battery that slides into place at the base of the processor.

Built-in Microphone
The built-in microphone is located directly behind the base of the earhook and is used when auxiliary input earhooks are not in use or as programmed by your audiologist. This is the microphone used when performing a microphone test.

Toggle Switch
The two functions are: 1) adjusting programs and 2) used as either a volume or sensitivity control.

To Change From One Program to the Next
Briefly press the toggle switch in the upward direction to the count of three and release. To return to the previous program, press the toggle switch in the downward direction to the count of three and release. The toggle switch does not round robin. You must toggle from 1-2-3 or 3-2-1.

To Adjust the Volume or Sensitivity
The child’s audiologist will program the toggle switch as either volume or sensitivity. To increase the volume or sensitivity, quickly press and release the toggle switch in the upward direction. To decrease the volume or sensitivity, quickly press and release the toggle switch in the downward direction.

System Sensor
The System Sensor is a diagnostic wand that can be used with the CII BTE and Platinum BTE Processors. It is a handheld device that performs a system functionality check of the sound processing system. You can use the Sensor while the child is wearing the processor to troubleshoot the system and to verify proper functionality and communication with the implant.

Quick Tips

1. If you are unsure which program number the processor is currently using, briefly disconnect the battery from the processor. The processor will re-set itself to Program 1 each time a battery is disconnected and then reconnected.
2. Press and hold the toggle switch to the count of three when changing programs. Quickly press and release the toggle switch when changing the volume or sensitivity.

CII BTE / Platinum BTE Earhook Overview

T-Mic Microphone Earhook
Detachable auxiliary input earhook microphone that holds the processor on the ear with the tip positioned near the opening of the ear canal and takes advantage of the natural sound funneling properties of the ear. It allows for natural placement of telephones and headphones and can be helpful in noisy environments.

The T-Mic for the CII BTE and Platinum BTE is not interchangeable with the Auria BTE and Harmony BTE.

Auxilary Audio Earhook
Your simple audio input connector for easy access to auxiliary microphones, FM systems, MP3 player, CD players, telecoils, and other assistive listening technology and consumer electronics. Comes with one audio input cable. (Choice of 11", 24", or 36")

Standard Earhook
This basic earhook holds the processor on the ear. It utilizes the built-in microphone on the CII BTE and Platinum BTE Processors.

Steps for Putting On CII BTE and Platinum BTE Processors

1. Slide on the PowerCel to turn the processor on.
2. Place the processor behind the ear.
3. Place the headpiece over the internal implant.
4. Verify that the program setting and volume/sensitivity control are in the desired position.
5. Verify the system status using the System Sensor.
6. Perform a behavioral listening check (for example, ask the child to detect/repeat the Ling six sounds).
