2 Platinum Sound Processor User Guide

Turning the control to the right (toward the larger end of the scale) increases the volume. During your programming session, your Processor will be adjusted so that the indicator on the volume control when positioned halfway along the scale (12:00 position) on the control panel represents the Most Comfortable Loudness level.

Sensitivity Control

The sensitivity control (!!!!!), located to the right of the volume control, determines the quietest level of sound that will be picked up from the environment by the microphone. Turning the control to the left decreases the sensitivity so that softer sounds are not picked up by the microphone. This may help eliminate background noise. Turning the control to the right increases the sensitivity so that softer or more distant sounds can be picked up by the microphone.

Headpiece Jack

The headpiece jack is located to the right of the sensitivity control. The cable, which connects the Processor to the Headpiece, is inserted here.

Dual Color LED Indicator

The LED (Light-Emitting Diode) indicator is a light located on the control panel adjacent to the headpiece jack. The LED has three primary functions: battery charge status, lock status, and microphone/system status. Depending on the function, the LED will illuminate with either a red or a green light. When the Processor is turned on, the LED light will first indicate battery charge status, followed by lock status. The microphone/system status may be checked once lock has been obtained.
