Before Using the Programming System
in a Patient Session
Charge the Programmer

BATTERY INDICATOR at the top right corner of the programmer screen

5. Change the date and time if necessary. Accurate patient and device history
stored in the programmer depend on correct date and time settings
6. Connect the wand to the programmer
7. Interrogate the generator (check communication between the programmer
and the generator)
Charge the programmer before use so that there is adequate battery power
during a patient session.
To charge the programmer:

2. Plug the AC adapter into an outlet
A fully discharged battery may take four to five hours to charge.
