Safety Information
43
As you approach these devices you may become aware of changing stimulation levels. In
rare instances, you could experience an increase in stimulation level to the point that the
sensation is uncomfortably strong or possibly “jolting.” If this happens, turn off the External
Trial Stimulator. If the stimulator suddenly turns off by itself, first move away from the area.
Next, check the stimulation status with the Remote Control by pressing the power button
and observing the screen.
Always be aware of your surroundings, particularly near theft detectors/security screeners.
Ask for assistance to go around these devices if you feel at all uncomfortable.
