Magnet

A magnet is built into the Clinical Programmer. It is located on the back side of the Programmer

underneath the indent with the magnet symbol (shown below).

The NS system has the capability of detecting the presence of a magnet. The magnet puts the NS device

in communication mode, allowing it to connect to the Programmer.

An alternate function of the magnet is that by holding the magnet over the device long enough, all

stimulation therapy will be switched off or back on. (Refer to the "Workspace - Profile>System" section for

more information).

PRECAUTION: Keep the programmer magnet away from credit cards. It may erase the

magnetic strip and render the card useless.

Charging the Clinical Programmer Battery

You will need the Programmer Charger provided to charge the battery in the Clinical Programmer. It

takes approximately 2–4 hours to fully charge the battery. The battery charge level is indicated in the

"Programmer Status Bar" at the bottom of the screen.

1. Connect the power supply to a power outlet.

Input: 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 0.6A

Output: 5V

3.0A

2. Connect the Charger to the Programmer.

3. When the battery is charging, the battery icon on

the screen contains "AC". When the charging is

complete, the indicator next to the battery icon will

be at approximately 100%.

When the Clinical Programmer is connected to a power outlet as described above, it is being powered

by the outlet and will not use battery power. The battery can be expected to last at least 500 discharge

cycles with normal use. Connect the Clinical Programmer to the Charger and attach to an outlet regularly

to keep it charged.

Programmer Power Up

Turn the Clinical Programmer ON by pressing the " " button. The Main Menu will be displayed.

NOTE: If the Clinical Programmer screen does not turn on, follow the instructions for charging the

battery, and try again.

The device is

Main Menu

The Main Menu displays three primary functions:

• Demo: Puts the system into a stand-

alone demo mode allowing you to use

all programmer functions without it being

connected to a NS.

• Programmer Setup: Allows you to set the

Clinical Programmer date and time, activate

the FCE Workspace on the Programmer,

and set and modify the Programmer

password.

• Connect to Stimulator: Opens a screen

that allows you to communicate with the

NS device.

The Main Menu identifies the device as the Spinal

Modulation Clinical Programmer. Furthermore,

Programmer's Serial Number, Software Version,

and Manufacturing date are displayed.

At the bottom of the Main Menu, the status bar

displays the Programmer – NS connection status,

the battery charge level and the time. Refer to the

section on the Programmer Status Bar in this User

Manual.

Demo

Select "Demo" on the Main Menu to initiate Demo mode.

Buttons will be purple to indicate that the Programmer

is operating in Demo mode. No NS device is needed for

this mode —just the Programmer. The Programmer will

have simulated NS data on it and will simulate the RF

communication with the NS. This means that at the start of

every Demo session, the data will always be the same.

Programmer Setup

Select "Programmer Setup" on the Main Menu to get the

setup screen.
