Custom Mode
Custom Mode allows you to manually select contacts to be anodes or cathodes. You may create
both monopolar and multipolar configurations of contacts in Custom Mode.
1
If necessary (i.e., to switch to Custom Mode from E-Troll Mode), press the
button at the top of the middle panel on the Programming screen.
2 Click on a contact to select that contact.
3 Click on the selected contact to turn the contact into an anode.
Click on the selected contact again to turn the contact into a cathode.
Click on the selected contact again to turn the contact OFF (blank).
Contact polarity options include anode (+), cathode (-), and OFF (blank).
Note: Changing the contact polarities will reset the amplitude to zero.
4
Repeat steps 3-4 until all desired contacts are selected.

Note: When using the External Trial Stimulator, if a monopolar configuration is
programmed, then all unassigned contacts will contribute as anodes.
Note: Contacts assigned to a monopolar configuration in one Area cannot be assigned
to a multipolar configuration in another Area and vice versa.
Note: Although an "X" inside a contact indicates higher than normal impedances, contacts
may still be included in a stimulation configuration.
