• It is important to have the correct magnet strength, so you do not
experience discomfort or retention issues. If magnet strength is
insufficient, the headpiece may fall off more than is acceptable. If magnet
strength is excessive, you may experience irritation or discomfort. Consult
your cochlear implant professional if there are any concerns regarding
magnet strength. If deemed appropriate, an audiologist may change
the strength of the magnet in the headpiece. Do not change magnet
strength unless under the direction of a cochlear implant professional.
If you experience any redness, irritation, or discomfort, discontinue
use of the headpiece immediately and contact a cochlear implant
professional. See the headpiece instructions for use for additional
information regarding adjustment of headpiece magnet strength.
• Store additional headpieces away from items with magnetic strips (e.g.,
credit cards, hotel room keys, etc.) as they may de-magnetize cards.
• The magnetic field created by the headpiece magnet may alter the
programming of magnetic shunts. Users of magnetic shunts should
consider off-the-shelf retention methods.
• The digitally-coded, inductive transmission technology used in this
device is extremely reliable and experiences virtually no interference
from other devices. It should be noted, however, that when operating
the device near a computer terminal or other strong electromagnetic
field (e.g. RFID system, metal detectors, electromagnetic anti-theft
systems), it may be necessary to be at least 24" (60 cm) away to
ensure proper operation. If the Naída CI M90 sound processor
does not respond to the implant device because of an unusual field
disturbance, move away from the disturbing field. Consult Guidance
and Manufacturer's Declaration section in your instructions for use
document for determining safe EM field levels.
• Use of the Naída CI M90 sound processor next to or stacked with
other equipment should be avoided because it could result in
improper operation (e.g., poor sound quality, cutouts in sound, delay
in response when making adjustments, or loss of lock). If such use
is necessary, the Naída CI M90 and the other equipment should be
observed to verify that they are operating normally.
• Use of components, accessories, and cables other than those
specified in the Compatibility section of this document could result in
increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic
immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation (e.g.,
poor sound quality, cutouts in sound, delay in response when making
adjustments, or loss of lock).
• Portable RF communications equipment (including devices such as
antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than
12 inches (30 cm) to any part of the Naída CI M90 sound processor,
