7. Keep the Charging Coil steady in the same position. The Charger will keep
charging until the IPG is fully charged (or until the Charger runs out of its own
charge).
NOTE: If the Charging Coil is moved during the charging session, it may lose
communication with the IPG. If this occurs, you will see one orange bar on the
Antenna Strength Indicator and you will hear intermittent beeps. Slowly move the
Charging Coil back into proper position, wait about three seconds, and confirm
that the antenna strength shows at least two bars. Keep moving slightly and
pausing, checking until you re-establish communication. If the Charging Coil and
the IPG lose communication for a long period of time, the Charger will sound one
long beep and turn itself off. If this happens, re-start the charging process. The IPG
can still be charged even if the charging session is interrupted.
8. When the IPG is fully charged, the Charger will sound a long beep and the
Implanted Stimulator’s Battery Level Indicator (the ones on the right) will
show four bars. The Charger turns itself off automatically.
NOTE: If you ever need to turn off the Charger during a recharging session, just
move the Charging Coil away from the IPG. If the Charger cannot locate the IPG
after 10 seconds, it turns itself off automatically.
CAUTION: Do not charge your IPG while you are drowsy, sleeping, or sedated, as
this may result in a burn. If you feel warmth or discomfort around the Charging
Coil, discontinue the charging process and contact your doctor.
9. Once the charging is complete, turn ON the Remote Control (press the yellow
ON/OFF Button on the upper left and hold for about five seconds) and verify
that therapy is ON.
NOTE: The IPG will continue to provide therapy while being recharged.
