2. If the patient's Stimulator is in a shallow
location or the patient has thin skin,
instruct the patient to place the Charging
Spacer at the back of the pocket in the
Charging Collar. Patients with shallow
Stimulators or thin skin will be able to
charge faster with the Charging Spacer.
Note: Patients with Stimulators in a deep
location should not use the Charging
Spacer, as it may slow the speed of
charging.
3. Place the Charger into the appropriate pocket on the Charging Collar with the
power button facing out. If the Stimulator is on the right side of the chest, place
the Charger in the right pocket. If the Stimulator is on the left side of the body,
place the Charger in the left pocket.
4. If using the Charging Spacer, make sure it is between the Charger and the back of
the pocket.
5. Place the Counterweight in the pocket opposite of the Charger.
6. Place the Charging Collar over the neck with the pockets facing out, as shown.
7. For best charging results, make sure the Charger is centered over the Stimulator.
If the Charger is not centered, charging time may increase. See Properly Aligning
the Charger on page 44 to ensure you center the Charger over the Stimulator.
8. If the Charger is not centered over the Stimulator, you may need to adjust the
length of the Charging Collar using the straps. Occasionally checking that
the Charger is aligned over the Stimulator during your charging session is
recommended.
