The Trial Stimulator
You may turn off the Trial Stimulator by pressing its
power on/off button, or by pressing the power button
on the Remote Control unit. When the stimulator is
on, the indicator light will blink
Always turn the stimulator off before connecting or
disconnecting your lead wires.
Disconnecting the Trial Stimulator
The Trial Stimulator has connectors for both left and
right leads, and a third connector for a patch
electrode. Whether you have one or two leads, your
doctor probably placed identifying labels on the lead
wires before connecting them to matching plugs on
the stimulator. These labels are intended to make it as
easy as possible for you to connect the wires properly.
Remember to check the label(s) each time you need to
reconnect the leads.
Note: If you were given a patch electrode for stimulation, an extra one is provided in case the
adhesive wears out. When connecting a new patch electrode, be sure to plug it securely into
the connector.
