Audible Alarm
The Audible Alarm is a programmable feature and is program specic. The Alarm
is designed primarily for children, in order to alert parents and teachers when the
device needs attention. Once the problem has been rectied, the PSP will resume
normal function.
The Alarm will emit a slow beeping tone, and the LED will flash RED if any of the
following occur:
1. Headpiece falls off.
2. A communication problem between the Processor and implant (loss of lock).
If the battery is near depletion, the alarm will emit a slow beeping tone until the
battery dies or is replaced.
Platinum Headpiece & Cable
The Platinum Headpiece integrates the Microphone and transmitter for sending
sound information to the implant. The Microphone is located behind the opening
in the color cap. There are two types of Headpieces: The curved bottom style is
provided for the 90K implant, which is the most current technology. Children with
implants placed before 2003 (CII Bionic Ear, Clarion 1.0 and 1.2) will utilize a flat-
bottom Headpiece. The audiologist or family will know which type of implant is in use.
There is a magnet housed within the Headpiece, which is designed for the implant
system. This magnet will attract the internal stimulator magnet under the skin.
Placing the Headpiece over the implant area should result in sufcient attraction to
hold the system in place and allow the Processor and implant to communicate.
The strength of the magnet is determined by the audiologist and should not be
changed without a consultation. If Headpiece retention is a problem, or irritation/
skin redness is noted, the programming center should be notied immediately.
The Cable connects the Headpiece to the Processor. It is the pathway for relaying
information between the external and internal implant components. Cables are
available in multiple lengths and in two colors: beige or brown. At one end of the
Cable is a two-prong plug, which is inserted into the Headpiece. The pins are of
different diameters and must be correctly inserted. A small coaxial plug is located
at the other end of the Cable and connects to the Headpiece jack of the Processor.
Removing and replacing the Cable continuously will weaken the connection, so
only remove the Cable when it needs to be replaced.
NOTE: Be sure to turn off the
Processor before removing the
Cable from the Headpiece.
NOTE: Make sure that no debris is
blocking the microphone opening
on the Headpiece.
