Changing the Batteries
When the red indicator light blinks continuously
in a rapid pattern, the batteries should be replaced.
To change the batteries:
. Remove the coil from your head and turn off the
OPUS processor before replacing the batteries.
. Open the battery pack latch (a), and remove the
battery pack cover (b).
. Remove the three batteries (c) using the coil magnet or
by gently shaking them into your hand. Try not to touch
the battery contacts.
. The colored tab covering the zinc air batteries must be
removed before use. Check for correct polarity when
inserting the new batteries. The positive pole (+) must
face outward, i.e. the “+” sign is still visible when the
batteries are inserted.
. Slide the cover over the battery pack frame (d) and
close the battery pack latch.

The DaCapo Rechargeable Battery System is compatible
with MED-EL’s OPUS , OPUS and TEMPO+ processors.
The system consists of the DaCapo Frame and battery pack
covers, a rechargeable battery called the DaCapo PowerPack,
the DaCapo Charger, and accessories. The DaCapo Frame holds
one DaCapo PowerPack and connects to the Control Unit of
your audio processor like a standard battery pack
Features of each PowerPack include:
–
% lighter weight than using standard batteries
–
up to hours of use per charge
NOTE: when used in combination with the energy-efficient D Coil.
–

–

The battery pack lock on the DaCapo Frame
functions as the ON/OFF switch.
With the proper FM battery pack cover, the DaCapo Frame
can also support assistive listening devices such as FM systems.
To connect the DaCapo Battery Pack
to an OPUS Processor:
. Open the battery pack lock (a).
. Remove the battery pack
cover (b).
. Pull out the connecting piece (c).
. Remove the battery pack and
connect the DaCapo Frame with
PowerPack inside (d).
. Secure the DaCapo Frame to the
audio processor by inserting the
two pins of the connecting piece
into the two holes on the bottom
of the Control Unit (e).

the DaCapo Frame and close the
battery pack lock to switch the
