(Figure 31).
If they are not aligned, continue to grip the DBS Lead next to the Retention Sleeve and push to
advance the Contacts into alignment with the Lead Extension Contacts. If necessary, slightly
retract the Lead, then advance the Contacts again until proper alignment is conrmed. Do not

the Retention Sleeve is located under the Setscrew.
