Note: The OPTIMIZER Mini Charger is subject to interference from other electrical
devices operated in the vicinity. Portable and mobile radio frequency equipment is
especially prone to impair the normal function of the charger. If OPTIMIZER Mini
Charger is not operating as expected, such interference has to always be taken into
account.
34.4 Charger Operation
The battery of the OPTIMIZER Smart IPG is charged with the OPTIMIZER Mini
Charger, which was designed to control the charging process precisely so that correct
operation of the IPG and patient safety are ensured. The following describes the operation
of the OPTIMIZER Mini Charger:
Warning: Do not attempt to connect any equipment to the I/O port of the OPTIMIZER
Mini Charger. This port is solely for factory or service personnel use.
• Plug the DC output connector of the AC Adapter into the power input connector
located on the top left of the charger and then plug in the AC Adapter to the mains
to begin charging the internal battery of the charger.
Note: Inspect the AC Adapter for any damage before each use. Contact your Impulse
Dynamics representative if a replacement AC Adapter is needed.
Warning: Only use the AC Adapter provided with the OPTIMIZER Mini Charger to
charge the battery in the OPTIMIZER Mini Charger.
Caution: Do not touch the DC contacts of the AC Adapter. However it poses no
significant risk if inadvertent contact is made.
• When all 4 bars of the Charger Battery Status Indicator are continuously
illuminated, the battery in the OPTIMIZER Mini Charger is fully charged.
• Disconnect the AC Adapter from the OPTIMIZER Mini Charger. The
OPTIMIZER Mini Charger can now be used to charge OPTIMIZER Smart IPG.
Note: The OPTIMIZER Mini Charger cannot be used to charge the OPTIMIZER Smart
IPG until the AC Adapter is disconnected from the charger.
• Place the charging wand over the OPTIMIZER Smart implant site. The charging
wand cable may be draped around the patient’s neck with the charging wand lying
on the chest over the patient’s clothes.
Note: The charger should not be operated close to other electronic equipment. If
sufficient spatial separation cannot be maintained, the charger needs to be monitored to
ensure normal function.
• Start the charging process by pressing the Start Button and holding it down for
about 3-4 seconds.
• Slowly move the charging wand over the implant site and observe IPG-Charger
Coupling Signal Strength Indicator for an indication that the OPTIMIZER
Smart IPG and the charging wand are communicating. Reposition the charging
wand until the most number of bars are illuminated on IPG-Charger Coupling
Signal Strength Indicator.
• Once the charging wand has established a link with the OPTIMIZER Smart IPG,
the OPTIMIZER Mini Charger will begin the charging process.
