Using the Charging Collar
1. When the indicator light is green, remove the Charger from the Base Station.
(The indicator light will go off, regardless of the ready status of the Charger.)
2. If the patient's Stimulator is in a shallow
location or the patient has thin skin, instruct
the patient to place the Charging Spacer
at the back of the pocket in the Charging
Collar. Patients with shallow Stimulators or
thin skin will be able to charge faster with
the Charging Spacer.
Note: Patients with Stimulators in a deep
location should not use the Charging
Spacer, as it may slow the speed of
charging.
3. Place the Charger into the appropriate pocket on the Charging Collar with the power
button facing out. If the Stimulator is on the right side of the chest, place the Charger
in the right pocket. If the Stimulator is on the left side of the body, place the Charger
in the left pocket.
4. If using the Charging Spacer, make sure it is between the Charger and the back of the
pocket.
5. Place the Counterweight in the pocket opposite of the Charger.
6. Place the Charging Collar over the neck with the pockets facing out, as shown.
7. For best charging results, make sure the Charger is centered over the Stimulator. If
the Charger is not centered, charging time may increase. See "Properly Aligning the
Charger" on page 43 to ensure you center the Charger over the Stimulator.
8. If the Charger is not centered over the Stimulator, you may need to adjust the length
of the Charging Collar using the straps. Occasionally checking that the Charger is
aligned over the Stimulator during your charging session is recommended.
