3 Place the Charger into the appropriate pocket on the Charging Collar with the power
button facing out, as shown. If your Stimulator is on the right side of your chest, place
the Charger in the right pocket. If the Stimulator is on the left side of your chest, place
the Charger in the left pocket.
4 If instructed to use 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 Put the Charging Collar over your 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 sections Properly
Aligning the Charger and Tips for Properly Aligning the Charger to ensure you center
the Charger over the Stimulator. It is recommended that you follow the instructions in
both sections the first time you charge your 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.
Note: T he Charging Collar can be placed under or over clothing. You should not wear tight fitting or heavy clothing over
the Charger while charging to allow air flow around the Charger.
Note: Do not use the Charging Collar when it is wet or damp.
