Automatic Sound Management

MED-EL’s new generation of audio

processor is a milestone achievement

in engineering. It offers unparalleled

comfort, long battery life, hands-free

capability, and remote tuning.

Using the latest advances in microchip

technology, the OPUS  supports

innovative developments offering implant

users greater sound detail and clarity,

especially for music enjoyment and

difcult listening situations.

The OPUS  processor is packed with

the details that let you worry less about

equipment and focus more on life.

Control Unit:

The control unit is just like a tiny computer.

Inside, an electronic chip controls the entire system. It can hold

several different programs (also called ‘maps’), which contain

the specific hearing settings for each user.

Microphone port:

This tiny opening is where sound enters

the processor. The microphone is most sensitive to sounds

coming from the front, although it is able to pick up sounds

from a wide area.

Locking earhook

(optional): The OPUS  processor features

an earhook that can be secured to the control unit with a small

pin to prevent young children from removing the earhook.

LED indicator:

This small red light indicates a variety of status

and error conditions. It should illuminate when the processor is

first turned on and will indicate which position is currently active

(with , ,  or  quick blinks). If it begins flashing during normal

use, please refer to the table on page  for additional details.

Microphone cover:

This small cover is used

with the BabyBTETM and ActiveWear configurations. It

replaces the earhook for wearing options that are not

worn at the ear and serves to protect the microphone.

Integrated telecoil:

The telecoil is located in the

OPUS  control unit and requires no additional parts or cables.

Select telecoil settings using the FineTuner remote control to

reduce background noise with hearing aid compatible telephones

and induction loop systems.

FM Battery Cover:

The standard input jack on the FM

Battery Cover provides the widest variety of connectivity with

different audio devices. The input jack is the same three-pin

port that is used with hearing aids – which allows new CI users

to preserve their initial investments by continuing to use their

personal assistive devices.

bcd

The FineTuner remote control is an accessory device that

can be used to optimize the audio processor in changing

daily listening situations. The OPUS  processor has an

ON/OFF switch. All other functions are accessed with

the FineTuner, which transmits commands to the

OPUS  processor.

The FineTuner is not required for everyday use of the audio

processor. When the OPUS  is turned on, it will return to

the same program, volume and sensitivity settings that were

in use when it was turned off. The FineTuner is configured

for its designated OPUS  processor, so that only the target

OPUS  processor can execute a command from the FineTuner.

The typical maximum operating distance between the FineTuner

and OPUS  processor is approximately  cm (. ft.).

This range could be decreased near electrical equipment.

How to configure the FineTuner

Once synchronized, the OPUS  and Fine Tuner stay in

synchronization until one of the two pieces of equipment need

to be changed. It should only occasionally be necessary to

synchronize the FineTuner and audio processor. Examples

include use of a back-up audio processor or second FineTuner.

To configure the FineTuner:

. Turn off your OPUS  processor.

. Place the coil of the OPUS  processor

over the MT key on the FineTuner.

. Turn on the OPUS  processor.

. The audio processor and the FineTuner will be

synchronized automatically.

. Successful synchronization is indicated by a

short blinking signal of the two amber indicator

lights on the FineTuner.

When to configure the FineTuner

For users with a cochlear implant on each ear (bilaterally

implanted), one FineTuner can be used for both ears.

However, a FineTuner can only be synchronized with one

audio processor for each ear.

The FineTuner only needs to be configured:

. At the initial audio processor fitting.

. When using a different or additional processor

(e.g., back-up, loaner or replacement, bilateral).

. When using a different FineTuner.

Using the FineTuner

The slim FineTuner™is

credit-card sized with a

thickness of only  mm.
