Setting Up a New Stimulator
Checking the Lead Connection
An icon showing the impedance status of each electrode
is shown to the right of the graphic representation of each
1
electrode ( 1 ). See manual section Understanding Impedance
Values for more information about the qualitative impedance
indicators.
The CP automatically checks impedance when it first connects
to the Stimulator. To check the impedances again, press the
impedance button: ( 2 ).

Impedances may change from green to yellow as fibrous tissue
encapsulates the electrodes. This change will not affect a
patient's therapy because the current-controlled Stimulator
automatically compensates for impedance changes.
Impedance changes from green or yellow to red may indicate an
open circuit, which may be caused by a disconnected cable or
other problem with the device.
Note: If any impedances are red during Stimulator set up, check the
connections between the lead and the Stimulator.
