4. Secure the Charger over the Stimulator either by pressing the adhesive to the skin
over the Stimulator, or letting go of the Charging Collar.
Note: If the Adhesive Patch is accidentally located in the wrong place, or if the
Charging Collar moves out of alignment, the Charger will start beeping
again. Use a new Adhesive Patch or readjust the Charging Collar to place the
Charger back into the fully aligned position.
Note: Moving around while charging is acceptable, but be aware that the Charger
must stay centered over the Stimulator for proper charging. Excessive
movement may cause the Charger and Stimulator to become misaligned.
5. When the Charger emits a distinct double beep, press the power button to turn off
the Charger and check the Stimulator's battery with the Remote Control.
6. If the Stimulator is fully charged, remove the Charging Collar or Adhesive Patch
from your body.
7. Separate the Charger from the Charging Collar or Adhesive Patch. Set aside the
Charging Collar or discard the Adhesive Patch.
8. Return the Charger to the Base Station.
Do not confuse the end of charge signal (a distinct double beep) with the steady,
continuous misalignment signal.
Note: Patients should expect a daily recharging time of 15 to 30 minutes or a
periodic recharging time of 3 to 4 hours every 1 to 2 weeks, but their recharge
routine may vary depending on their stimulation parameters.
Note: The end of a charge signal is a distinct double beep, and the alignment
indicator light is a steady, continuous signal.
