The Clinical Programmer must be used and maintained in accordance with the information in this Store between 0 and 93% humidity manual. • Do not use the Clinical Programmer with a NS device that appears to be faulty or fails to properly The device is a radio transmitter communicate.
• Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaning products on the Clinical Programmer. The Clinical Programmer System includes: • Do not attempt to open the case for the Clinical Programmer. Attempts to open the case may expose the Clinical Programmer to elements that alter its function.
Magnet Main Menu A magnet is built into the Clinical Programmer. It is located on the back side of the Programmer The Main Menu displays three primary functions: underneath the indent with the magnet symbol (shown below). • Demo: Puts the system into a stand- alone demo mode allowing you to use The NS system has the capability of detecting the presence of a magnet.
When a successful connection is established, the Programmer chimes and the NS device will be queried. NOTE: Establishing a connection updates the NS 7. For the duration of the programming session keep the Clinical Programmer within 3 feet of the NS device’s clock to the newly set time.
The corresponding value or data selection appears in a red bold underlined font. Located at the bottom of the Clinical Programmer screen, the Programmer Status Bar displays: • Programmer-Stimulator Connection Status: Displays the status of the communication between NOTE: The “temporarily active” state does not apply to the Group workspace.
