IPG Heang During Charging
During a charging session, it is normal if some paents perceive an increase in the temperature of the IPG.
However, if the temperature of the IPG becomes uncomfortable for them, you should advise paents to try
these troubleshoong ps:
▪ Stop charging unl the discomfort subsides and then resume charging.
▪
▪ Use the charger belt and antenna holder that is provided with the charging system to hold the antenna in
▪
place.
