Caring for your SP magnet
Keep your SP magnet clean by wiping it with an
alcohol-free wipe. Do not use running water to
clean your SP magnet.
Clean the SP magnet coupling using a soft brush.
It is recommended to wear the SP magnet with
the soft pad attached for maximum wearing
comfort.
Changing soft pads
You should change the SP magnet soft pad
regularly. You should replace the soft pad if you
observe the following:
• An accumulation of dirt or moisture on the soft
pad that cannot be wiped off
• The soft pad appears worn-out or damaged
• You experience a gradual deterioration in
wearing comfort (if changing the soft pad
does not help please contact your hearing care
professional)
Contact your hearing care professional to obtain
new soft pads.
See figure 2
Remove the soft pad from the SP magnet, by
1
lifting and gripping the unglued portion of the
soft material, and then slowly release the soft
pad from the SP magnet.
Make sure that the adhesive remains are
completely removed from the SP magnet.
Select a new soft pad and remove the cover
2
sheet to expose the adhesive.
Attach the soft pad to the SP magnet. Make
3
sure that the soft pad is centralised and covers
the entire SP magnet surface.
Remove the remaining cover sheet from the
4
soft pad before you start wearing the SP
magnet.
Note: A small section on the edge of the soft
pad is not covered by adhesive for easier grip
and removal.

Handling your sound
processor

Once you are familiar with your processor, you can
change the program and the volume level while
the sound processor is attached to the SP magnet
placed on your head. Make sure you support the
processor from the bottom with your thumb as
you press the buttons with your index finger.
Storing your processor
Store your sound processor in your storage box
when it is not in use. The sound processor can be
attached to the SP magnet and the safety line can
be attached to the sound processor.
