Performing a System Check
You can verify CLARION’s operating status in three simple steps:
1)Check battery charge status
2)Check lock status
3)Check microphone and system status
To assure the system’s overall proper functioning, perform all three steps. Once you get used to the steps, it takes less than one minute to complete a CLARION system check.
1. Check Battery Charge Status
Turn the Processor Program Switch to the off (o) position and then on to
the desired program position

Next, observe the red LED indicator. The red LED Light sequence will indicate the battery charge status, as follows (Note: The LED Indicator light shows the status of the three tests. Depending on the purpose of the tests, the light is either red or green, as described in this section):
4 quick blinks indicate that the battery is fully charged.
2 to 3 quick blinks indicate that the battery is sufficiently charged to power the system.
1 quick blink indicates that the battery charge is nearly depleted. The battery should be replaced.
Instructions on how to change the battery are provided later in this section.
2. Check Lock Status
The term lock refers to the successful transmission of continuous signals between the Headpiece and the Implant across the skin.
To check the lock status, continue to observe the LED Indicator. After the fast blinking battery test sequence, the red LED will continue to flash
