Care of your Neptune System

It is important to properly care for your Neptune system to ensure optimal hearing
at all times. If you wish to clean any part of your Neptune system, use only a damp
cloth to wipe the part(s). Do not expose any part of the system to additional solvents
(e.g., soap, bleach). No preventive maintenance or routine inspection is required. The
components of the Neptune system are not serviceable.

Caring for your Neptune Sound Processor

Your Neptune sound processor has a dust and water protection rating of IP68. This
means it is designed to:
• Protect against penetration of dust, sand, or other particles.
• Allow submersion in clean water, bath water, and chemically treated pool water.
Neptune is not warranted for use in or exposure to sea or lake water.
To prevent damage to the sound processor, it is important that you ensure the Battery
Cover is correctly installed on the sound processor before swimming and bathing.
Visually inspect the battery compartment after submersion in water. If moisture is
detected, wipe the battery compartment, battery, and battery contacts with a dry cloth.
If damage to the battery cover or battery seal is suspected, contact Advanced Bionics
for replacement prior to resuming water-related use.
Although it is not necessary, it is highly recommended that you place the sound
processor and headpiece in your Zephyr by Dry & Store® for overnight drying. If you
are concerned that the battery compartment has been exposed to water, remove the
Battery Cover and battery from the sound processor prior to placement in the Zephyr
to ensure proper drying.
You may clean battery contacts with a soft bristle brush (e.g., hearing aid brush or
dry toothbrush) or wipe with a damp cloth as needed.

Caring for the Neptune Connect

Your Neptune Connect has a dust and water protection rating of IP44. This means it
is designed to withstand:
• Penetration of foreign objects greater than 1.0 mm.
• Exposure to splashing water.
To prevent damage to the Neptune Connect, it is important that you remove it
from the sound processor prior to swimming and bathing. Dry the Neptune sound
processor fully before attaching the Neptune Connect. If the Neptune Connect is
exposed to splashing water, wipe it with a dry cloth.
Although it is not necessary, you may place the Neptune Connect in your Zephyr by
Dry & Store for overnight drying.
If damage to the Neptune Connect is suspected, contact Advanced Bionics for
replacement.
