recharge your IPG. The best way to recharge is to get into the habit of recharging once
a day, although you may be able to charge it less often. Many factors can affect how
often you need to recharge the IPG (such as how much you use it, how intensely it
stimulates, how old the system is).
You have a Charger, a Charger Belt, and a Charger Holster for recharging the IPG.
These are shown in the Appendix.
You also have equipment to recharge the Charger. This is shown in the Appendix. It is
recommended that you recharge the Charger after every use.
Battery Level Indicators
There are Battery Level Indicators on the Charger and on the Remote Control.
The Battery Level Indicators on the Charger report the battery level of the implanted
device.
The Remote Control also has a Stimulator Battery Level Indicator.
The right-sided battery level
indicator on the charger tells you the
status of the IPG battery.
If you see two or fewer bars, then
your IPG needs to be recharged.
The Stimulator Battery Level
Indicator on the Remote Control
tells you how much energy is left in
the IPG battery.
If you see three or fewer bars, then
the IPG battery should be recharged
so that it is always fully operational.
If you see two or fewer bars,
recharge the batteries at once.
