IP Rating Information
An ingress protection, or IP, rating is used to specify the strength of an enclosure surrounding
electronic equipment. Each IP rating consists of two numbers. The first number indicates the
level of protection an enclosure provides against intrusion by solid objects, materials, or dust.
The second number indicates the level of protection against intrusion by water or liquids.
The Naída CI carries a rating of IP57. This rating indicates that the Naída CI is protected
against the following conditions:
Penetration of solid foreign objects equal to or greater than 1.0 mm in diameter
•
Failure due to immersion for 30 minutes to a depth up to 1m.
•
Care of the Naída CI Sound Processor and Accessories
It is important to properly care for the Naída CI to ensure optimal hearing at all times. If any part
of the Naída CI needs to be cleaned, use only a damp cloth to wipe the part(s). Do not expose
any part of the sound processor or accessories to additional solvents (e.g. soap, bleach).
Changing Microphone Covers
The Naída CI has a microphone filter located over the rear microphone to prevent dust and debris
from damaging the microphone. Advanced Bionics recommends changing the microphone
cover on the Naída CI every three months, or earlier if there is a notice in the degradation of
sound quality.
Removing the Microphone Cover

Grasp the Naída CI in one hand while
holding the removal tool in the other hand.

Using the end of the tool with the
threads on it, screw into and through the
microphone cover until the tool is capable
