The Zn-Air Battery Pak

The Naída CI uses size 675 Power Implant disposable batteries (675P). Regular size 675
hearing instrument batteries will not be powerful enough for a cochlear implant.

Inserting Zn-Air Batteries

1
Holding the Zn-Air Battery Pak in one hand,
gently but firmly push down on the lever on
the back of the battery cartridge. This will
cause the drawer to pop out of the bottom
of the cartridge.
Remove the Zn-Air batteries from their package, making sure to remove the tape from the flat
3
positive (+) side of the cell. Removing the tape allows oxygen to flow in and activate the battery, so
be sure to install it immediately after peeling off the tape.
4
Place two Zn-Air batteries, positive (+)
(flat) side up, in the two openings in the
battery drawer.
Note: If the cells are inserted incorrectly, the battery drawer will not close.
