Seng Frequency
Frequency is the number of smulaon pulses that the system delivers each second and is measured in
hertz (Hz). Frequency can be set between 2 and 1200 Hz.
NOTE:
▪
While high frequencies may assist with paent comfort, they deplete the baery at a faster rate and
▪
make it necessary to recharge more frequently.
▪
Frequencies for sm sets in a
MulSm
™ smulaon program must be idencal and cannot exceed
▪
1200 Hz divided by the number of sm sets in the program.
Depending on the frequency seng, the following step-size adjustments are available.
Table 3. Step size increments by frequency range
Frequency Range Step Size
2–200 Hz 2 Hz
200–500 Hz 10 Hz
