Accidentally Switching BICI Processors

[Guest guest]

I just woke up for a nap (to get ready for a New Year's party I will be

attending in another hour) and found out something interesting about the

Freedom. I was a little disoriented upon waking up and accidentally placed

my right Freedom processor on my left ear. When I pressed the power button

on the Freedom, it wouldn't turn itself on. What a great feature --

especially for children! I have Scotch tape on one of my processors to

distinguish one from the other, but this feature will make it so much easier

to tell them apart!

Happy New Year!
