Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 My 3G came with a little plastic case with a built in drying mechanism and the electric Dry and Store box. My audi said something about the little plastic case doesn't work well, so Cochlear added the Dry and Store to the package. Sometimes I go places with no electricity. What's the story on the little plastic drying case? Will it work for a week or so if you come home and dry out the CI afteward or is it totally useless? Or did Dry and Store just score a marketing coup here? Wayne Kraft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Thanks for responding to my post on dry and store. I have looked at my unit and it is the global dry and store and does say it's good for travel. My main concern is the bulb inside the unit. It seems so fragile. I've thought about wrapping or stuffing the inside with bubble wrap to protect the bulb against damage and might try this to see how it works. Sharon, did you somehow damage the cord while traveling? I haven't looked to see if the cord can be disconnected easily, but will certainly take a moment to study it and see how it's put together. Thanks all, Dixie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
