Do not modify or tamper
• Do not modify or tamper with your Evoke Pocket Console (EPC), your Charger or your
external Closed-Loop Stimulator (eCLS, if you have been given one). Modifying or
tampering with your equipment could cause these items not to work at all, or to
operate in an unpredictable way. This could lead to a loss of therapy.
• Do not connect anything to the eCLS or Charger that is not supplied as part of the Evoke
System. The Charger should only be connected to the supplied power adapter. Only
your clinician should connect the eCLS to lead adapters and recharge or replace the eCLS
battery (refer to Section 5.5.1 'Using the eCLS'). Connecting these devices to other,
unsupported items could damage them and lead to a loss of therapy.
Protect the eCLS, EPC and Charger from extreme heat, cold or humidity
The electronics in your devices can be damaged by extreme heat, cold and humidity.
• Do not leave your devices in your car or outdoors for extended periods of time.
• Do not store your devices in humid environments, such as the bathroom.
• Avoid storing the eCLS at temperatures below 14 °F (-10°C) or above 131 °F (55 °C).
• Avoid storing the EPC and Charger at temperatures below -4 °F (-20 °C) or above 140 °F
(60 °C).
• Allow your devices to reach room temperature for 30 minutes before use if they have
been stored in cold or warm conditions.
• Only use the eCLS and EPC at room temperatures of 41 °F (5 °C) to 104 °F (40 °C).
• Only use the Charger at room temperatures of 41 °F (5 °C) to 86 °F (30 °C). Do not use
the Charger if the room temperature is above 86 °F (30 °C).
• Do not open the eCLS case to avoid exposing the eCLS to damaging moisture or
humidity.
Treat your eCLS, EPC and Charger gently
• Carry and hold your accessories carefully to protect them from striking hard surfaces or
being dropped.
• Try to keep your accessories dry, and never immerse them in water.
• Do not plug the Charger into outlets that are in humid environments – such as a
bathroom – or near water.
• Ensure you can always access your EPC and keep a spare set of AAA batteries at home
for the EPC.
• Be sure to plug in the power adapter for the Charger somewhere easy to access.
