Switching on and off and batteries
When the PowerCel (battery pack) is attached, the device
is on. Removing the PowerCel turns off the device. The
PowerCel is rechargeable and plugs into the charging bay.
PowerCel
slim lasts

The PowerPak – body worn battery unit
The Auria can be worn with a Powerpak which
contains one AA battery. The flat end of the
battery needs to be next to the spring. The
Powerpak is connected to the processor by
the Powerpak unit which slides on and off the
processor in the same way as the Powercel.
There is a latch on the unit which must be
pushed up to lock it in place.
Auria headpiece with attached cable
Take care inserting the cable into the connection point. Align
carefully with the groove on the upper side and then slide – don’t
ram it in!
Earhooks
The earhook can be detached by turning it a little more than ¼ turn
either to the right or the left and then gently pulling it apart. To put
it back on again, align the earhook in the normal position and gently
push it on until it clicks.
Standard earhook
To be used when the processor’s built in
microphone is the primary source for capturing
sound.
T-Mic earhook
For everyday use. Has an omni-directional
microphone which is worn in the bowl of the ear.
Particularly useful in noisy environments or on
the phone.
Direct connect earhook
Used to link with bodyworn radio aid receivers
and various battery powered audio devices eg
iPod, CD player. Will also need to use two
cables: a Direct Connect cable (from earhook)
and an audio interface cable (to the device).
iConnect earhook
There are two types of iConnect
The one at the top is the newer small iConnect
(CI-5751-120/220/320) which takes any A10 size
hearing aid battery.
The bottom one is the older adult version. (CI
5751-100/200/300) This requires ZeniPower
batteries which are only available from Advanced
Bionics or from Connevans.
These ear hooks are for use with cable free ear
level radio aid receivers eg Phonak Microlink
MLxS, micro MLxS and MLxi (full dynamic). The
receiver is plugged directly into the earhook
The FireFly
This is an illuminated earhook which provides
visual feedback to parents and educators on how
the processor is working.
FireFly earhook
Once the battery is connected, if the processor is communicating
effectively with the implant, the light should glow continuously.
However if there is a problem:
Glows continuously
All working well.
No light
Check the battery.
Check the program
position is correct.
Yellow blinking light
(once a second)
Ensure headpiece
retention is good. If
still flashing use
sensor (see
troubleshooting),
then change
headpiece.
Ensure that the child
is wearing their own
processor and not
that of another child
or the other ear.
Flickers continuously
Telecoil
There is an external telecoil (T-Coil) which can be used with the
direct connect earhook. A program needs to be assigned by the
clinic in order to use it. When using a loop system or hearing aid
compatible telephone, that program should be selected.
Using accessories
These are attached via the direct connect earhook with the direct
connect lead. You may need to use two cables: a Direct Connect
cable (from earhook) and an audio interface cable to the device.
It may be necessary to use an alternative program when using an
accessory. This needs to be checked with the CI centre.
