Using NiMH batteries
For best use of NiMH batteries:
• Do not mix fully charged batteries with partly
charged batteries.
• Do not recharge high energy NiMH batteries in
the High Energy NiCad Charger supplied by
Cochlear or any other NiCad charger.
• Use a charger specifically designed for NiMH
batteries.
Using Alkaline Batteries
For best use of alkaline batteries:
• Do not recharge disposable alkaline batteries.
• Do not mix new and partially used batteries.
Checking the Battery Condition
When the batteries get low, the red indicator light
on the top of the speech processor blinks and the
LCD panel flashes the low battery symbol. If the
personal or public alarms are on, the speech
processor emits four ‘pings’ every minute until the
batteries are dead.
When the batteries are dead, the speech processor
stops operating. The red indicator light goes out
and the LCD panel displays only the low battery
symbol.
