Charging Steps
WARNINGS:
Patient should not charge while sleeping. This may result in a burn.
While charging, the Charger may become warm. It should be handled with care.
Failure to use the Charger with either the Charger Belt or an adhesive patch, as shown,
may result in a burn. If pain or discomfort is felt, cease charging and contact Boston
Scienti c.
The Charger Base Station should be plugged in and the Charger placed in the Base Station
when not in use. When the indicator light is green, the Charger is fully charged. When the
indicator is amber, the Charger is partially charged, but is still able to deliver a charge to the
Stimulator.
1. When the indicator light is green, remove the Charger from the Base Station. The indicator
light will then turn off.
2. Press the power button. The indicator light will come on again, and the Charger will begin
beeping as it searches for the Stimulator.
3. Place the Charger over the Stimulator. When the Charger is aligned with the Stimulator, the
beeping will stop.
Centering the Charger over the Stimulator will ensure the shortest charging time.
Many patients are able to feel the implanted Stimulator and can place the Charger
directly on top of it.
Alternatively, centering the Charger within the alignment area (i.e., the area where
the Charger does not beep) will also ensure that the Charger is aligned.
4. Secure the Charger over the Stimulator by using either an adhesive patch or the Charger
Belt.
• Adhesive Patch: Remove the clear liner from the patch. Apply the white side with
the blue stripe to the back of the Charger. Then remove the beige liner from the
patch. Secure the Charger over the Stimulator by pressing the adhesive to the skin
over the Stimulator.
• Charger Belt: Place the Charger into the pocket on the Charger Belt so that the
Power button is visible through the mesh fabric. Secure the Charger over the
Stimulator by adjusting the Charger Belt.
