Getting Started
The Charging System for your implant consists of the Charger unit, a Base Station, and a transformer
(plug). Adaptors are included for use in countries other than the U.S. The Base Station is designed to
remain connected into a power outlet, and the Charger placed within to keep it ready for use.
1. Find a convenient place with a flat, clear surface to keep the Base Station plugged in.
2. Plug the transformer into a standard AC wall outlet, then plug the cord into the Base Station.
3. Place the Charger in the base.
When charging, you can opt to use either a Velcro
®
belt, or adhesive patches. To get started using a
Velcro
®
belt, you can cut it to your size for comfort. We recommend using the adhesive patches since
they maintain nearly perfect alignment between the implant and the Charger. The patch adhesive is
made of non-reactive material suitable for most sensitive skin types.
