Using Neptune Accessories

Advanced Bionics supplies a range of accessories for use with the Neptune system,
although not all accessories may be included in your sound processor kit. Discuss
with your clinician which accessories are included with your Neptune sound
processor.
For further information regarding the accessories listed below, refer to the
'Instructions for Use' included with the product or contact Advanced Bionics.

Headpieces

The Neptune sound processor is designed for use with two different headpieces.
1.
The Universal Headpiece (UHP)
2.
The AquaMic
The Universal Headpiece
The UHP is intended to be used with Neptune during daily activities outside of water
environments (e.g., pools, bath, shower).
The AquaMic
The AquaMic is designed for use during swimming and bathing and carries an IP68
rating for water and dust resistance. The AquaMic is not intended for use during diving
or repeated submersion at depths greater than three meters (9 feet, 10 inches).
When using the AquaMic underwater, sound may be distorted; however, following
submersion or heavy water spray, sound quality should return to acceptable levels
after fully drying the headpiece. For this reason, it is recommended you replace your
AquaMic after water use with a dry headpiece to ensure restoration of typical system
sound quality. For information regarding headpiece use, refer to the 'Using Neptune
Headpieces' section of the User Guide or the AquaMic 'Instructions for Use.'

Wireless FM

Neptune is compatible with the Phonak MLxi wireless FM receiver. For instructions
on how to connect an FM receiver to the Neptune Connect, refer to the 'Using FM'
section of the User Guide or to the Neptune Connect 'Instructions for Use.'

Listening Check Earphones

A convenient monitor mode is built in to all Neptune sound processors to enable
someone with unaided hearing to listen to the Neptune system microphone and/or
an attached FM receiver. Listening Check earphones may be used for this purpose.
For instructions on how to listen to inputs using the Listening Check earphones, refer
to the 'Listening to the Microphone and FM Receiver' section of the User Guide.

Audio Accessories

The auxiliary connector on the side of the Neptune Connect allows you to plug
directly into battery-operated consumer electronics devices, such as MP3 players,
portable DVD players, or handheld gaming devices. When connecting to consumer
devices, you may require attenuation to prevent sound from being too loud or
distorted. This attenuation can be applied by your clinician during programming so
