Guest guest Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 , I dunno. Been years since I even tried walking on my hands. LOL *---* *---* *---* *---* *---* I got my driver's license photo taken out of focus on purpose. Now when I get pulled over the cop looks at it [moving it nearer and farther, trying to see it clearly]... and says " Here, you can go. " & Dreamer Doll ke7nwn E-mail- rclark0276@...

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 , Just pull the connector straight out from processor. This you would do when changing mic covers too. Then plug new coil in. But you dont ahve lonfg to wait so your audi can do it. Sure hope she can figure out whats going on with the rechargeable battery and charger. *---* *---* *---* *---* *---* In a democracy it's your vote that counts; in feudalism, it's your Count that votes. & Dreamer Doll ke7nwn E-mail- rclark0276@...

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hi , I don't think you are supposed to put batteries in the Dry and Store. On the cable coil as long as the processor is turned off it shouldn't hurt the processor when you replace the cable coil. You just pull the old one out and put the new one in. You will need to install a magnet in the coil too.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 , I don't have enough strength in my hands to pull the coil out. I will need my audi to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Jim, I'm afraid I can't do any of those things because of my severe CTS and because the magnet is too small for me to screw into the coil. I'll wait to have my audi help me. Perhaps we can work on it together and I can give it a try, but I have alot of difficulty grasping objects especially if they are small.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 and Jim, I feel like such an idiot. I just tried pulling the coil out of the processor and it wasn't difficult at all. I didn't know how much strength I would need to have in order to do this. Now I just have to figure out how to screw the magnet into the coil. Any suggestions? Which direction do I turn it?

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Why of course I would, . I take every opportunity to get a mocha, or two!

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Counter clockwise to remove the magnet. You will have to try and get it back where it was so its not too strong or weak. You can do this somewhat by touch. *---* *---* *---* *---* *---* One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young. & Dreamer Doll ke7nwn E-mail- rclark0276@...

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 , Stupid question. Do you know of an easy way I can open the Fed Ex box? I tried opening it with the blade of a scissors, but almost cut myself in the process. I can't pull the seal because it's too secure. I can't wait until I have my CTS surgery in a few months. The pain I'm having is making simple things impossible for me to do. , who needs 2 large mochas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 , By the way, I know there is a pull tab on the Fed Ex box, but it's too small and difficult for me to pull. Do you or anyone else have suggestions as to how I can open the box? Everytime I receive something from them, I dread it because whatever I ordered comes in a difficult to open box or so much bubble wrap that I can't even begin to cut through the tape.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 , Even I have trouble with those packages. I think you will do well to wait til you see your audi. You want TWO mochas? How about a double mocha? LOL *---* *---* *---* *---* *---* A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good. -- & Dreamer Doll ke7nwn E-mail- rclark0276@...

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hi , That is great news! The magnet goes in clockwise. There is a slot on the back of the magnet. A nickle or a thick screwdriver will work. Jim > > and Jim, > > I feel like such an idiot. I just tried pulling the coil out of the processor and it wasn't difficult at all.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 , I asked a neighbor to help me. I want to see if I can do this myself. I decided to wait until tomorrow though. I'll let you know if I have any success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hi Jim, Thanks! I'm going to give it a try tomorrow and will let you know if I'm able to do this without a problem. My audi isn't always going to be there if I need to do this alone, so I want to make sure I can do this myself. Besides, I've had my first CI for 4 years so I think it's about time. LOL.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Jim, I don't trust anyone to touch my CIs except for my audi and CI surgeon. I'm paranoid about my processor being dropped or damaged without me knowing what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Jim, I have a pliers I could use. I also have a tons of nickles. LOL. I'm going to try this tomorrow to see if I have any luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 , My plans were diverted by a bad and unexpected asthma attack I had today. Temps were in the 90s and after coming in from the heat (I had to be outside today), I read something on the computer that made me laugh and between that and the heat, it culminated into a scary asthma attack. I thought I would need to go to the ER, but I took my rescue inhaler and am fine now. I'm just a little shook up after what happened. I really don't want to try working with my CI at the moment because if it doesn't work as expected, it will only frustrate me and I don't want to have another attack. I'll just wait until tomorrow. I'm also confused because I haven't heard from my audi yet about my appointment, so I have no idea when I'm due to see her. Today has been a rough day and I'll be glad when it's over. As far as my CI is concerned, I'll try working on it tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
