Replacing microphone protectors

Microphone protectors are designed to protect the microphones from 
dirt and moisture. A dirty or blocked microphone protector results in 
the gradual deterioration of sound quality. Replace the microphone 
protectors if you notice degradation in the sound quality, or if the 
protectors look dirty. Replace both protectors at the same time.

Removing microphone protectors

The Cochlear

 Nucleus

®

 CP800 Series Microphone Protector Removal 

Tool allows you to remove the microphone protectors from the 
processing unit. 

To remove the microphone protectors:

1. 

Remove the protective 
cap from the Microphone 
Protector Removal Tool.

2. 

Position the tip of the 
removal tool under 
the square tabs on the 
microphone protector. 
Do not insert the removal 
tool directly into the hole 
as it could damage the 
microphone.

3. 

Gently lift the microphone 
protector out.

 

WARNING

 

•  The Microphone Protector Removal Tool is a sharp object.

 

•   The Microphone Protector Removal Tool is not recommended
