4 Platinum Sound Processor User Guide
The audible alarm is an optional feature that can be activated at the time of programming. It is designed primarily for children in order to alert parents and teachers when the system is not transmitting sound to the implant or the battery is near depletion. If the child’s headpiece falls off the head, the Processor will begin to beep and the red LED will flash. When data is again being transmitted, the alarm will stop. Additionally, when the battery is near depletion and cannot power the Processor, the alarm will emit a continuous tone until the battery dies or is replaced.

Your Platinum Sound Processor should be serviced only at Advanced Bionics. Do not attempt to open or repair the processor. Unauthorized opening of the processor will void the warranty.
