Failure to recharge may lead to loss of stimulation in less than 24 hours and the following message will
appear on the Remote Control: “Recharge Stimulator Now.” After stimulation stops, communication with the
Stimulator will also cease and multiple recharge sessions may be required. Until a sufcient level of charge
has been attained, the Stimulator may not communicate with the Remote Control.
Charging Steps
Caution
• Keep the charger and charging components dry. They should not be exposed to moisture.
• Do not connect the charger to any other device except to the Base Station provided with it.
• Keep the charger and charging components away from pets, pests and children to avoid damage to
the devices
WARNINGS:
• Do not charge while sleeping. This may result in a burn.
• While charging, the Charger may become warm. It should be handled with care.
• Failure to use the Charger with either the Charging Belt or an adhesive patch, as shown, may result in
a burn. If pain or discomfort is felt, cease charging and contact Boston Scientic.
The Charger Base Station should be plugged in and the Charger placed in the Base Station when not in use.
When the indicator light is green, the Charger is fully charged. When the indicator is amber, the Charger is
partially charged, but is still able to deliver a charge to the Stimulator.
1. When the indicator light is green, remove the Charger from the Base Station. The indicator light will then
turn off.
2. Press the power button. The indicator light will come on again, and the Charger will begin beeping as it
searches for the Stimulator.
3. Place the Charger over the Stimulator. When the Charger is aligned with the Stimulator, the beeping will
stop.
• Centering the Charger over the Stimulator will ensure the shortest charging time.
• Many patients are able to feel the implanted Stimulator and can place the Charger directly on top of it.
• Alternatively, centering the Charger within the alignment area (i.e., the area where the Charger does
not beep) will also ensure that the Charger is centered.
