General warnings and precautions for the use of
your processor
Please read the following warnings and precautions before using your
processor:
Your processor, accessories, battery charger and tools contain •
small parts that may be hazardous if swallowed, or may cause
choking if ingested or inhaled. If this occurs, seek prompt medical
attention at the nearest emergency centre or Poisons Information
Centre (e.g. if coil magnet is swallowed, seek prompt medical
attention).
Using the cables or parts of your processor in any way •
contradictory to their intended purpose (e.g. chewing) can cause
injury.
If your processor earhook hooks onto any part of your body, it may •
cause injury.
Wearing a tight-fitting hat over the coil can cause skin damage •
beneath the coil.
Do not remove the battery module from the processing unit while •
wearing the processor as your hair can get caught in the battery
contacts.
When operating machinery, ensure that the coil is securely in place •
to avoid the coil getting caught in the machine.
Remove your processor immediately if it becomes unusually warm •
or hot, and seek advice from your clinician. Parents and caregivers
should touch their child’s or recipient’s processor to check for heat
if the child or recipient is showing signs of discomfort.
Do not wear your processor while sleeping, as you may not •
become aware of your processor becoming unusually warm or hot.
Do not allow children or recipients with disabilities to wear their •
processor while sleeping.
When using retention aids such as the Snugfit or LiteWear cable, •
be aware that it may take longer to remove the processor if the
processor becomes unusually warm or hot. Do not attach the
LiteWear cable beneath layers of clothing.
Ensure all cables used by a child are securely attached to their •
body.
