Batteries
11
Use only type 675 batteries to power your OPUS 2 . We recommend using high-power zinc-air batteries that are designed especially for cochlear implant systems . When you use OPUS 2 with the WaterWear accessory, however, you must substitute zinc-air batteries with one of the other types .

Troubleshooting
In case you encounter any minor technical problems, such as an interruption in sound, carefully follow these steps to identify possible causes and solutions:
1 . Remove your OPUS 2 and change the batteries .
If that doesn’t solve the problem, go to 2 .
2 . Disassemble your OPUS 2 into five parts: control unit, battery pack frame, battery pack cover, coil cable, and D Coil . (For guidance, see pages 2–3 .)
3 . Check each part for dirt or signs of damage .
Gently clean any processor parts that are dirty and wipe dry any parts that are wet . (See instructions on pages 26–27 .)
If any parts appear damaged, contact your CI centre for assistance .
4 . Reassemble OPUS 2 . (See instructions on pages 2–3 .)
If your processor still isn’t working, go to 5 .
5 . Use the Speech Processor Test Device to troubleshoot your audio processor .
Speech Processor Test Device
The Speech Processor Test Device (SPTD) is a troubleshooting tool for detecting the most common audio processor problems . To troubleshoot with the SPTD, follow these steps:
1 . Switch on your OPUS 2 .
2 . Place the flat side of the D Coil under the Speech Processor Test Device .
3 . Speak into the OPUS 2 microphone . The indicator light should flicker to the rhythm of your voice . If it doesn’t, go to 4 .
4 . Adjust the volume and speak into the microphone .
If the indicator light doesn’t flicker, go to 5 .
5 . Change the batteries and speak into the microphone .
If the indicator light doesn’t flicker, go to 6 .
6 . Replace the coil cable .
If your OPUS 2 still isn’t working or for immediate assistance, please contact your CI centre . For complete troubleshooting instructions, visit medel .com .
