Wand Signal Basics
The wand is used to collect data from the
neurostimulator and store it in the tablet. Data
are collected using Radio Frequency (RF)
communication. This collection of data can be
affected by Electromagnetic interference (EMI). To
help prevent EMI, do not use the wand when the
tablet is plugged in to an electrical outlet. Instead,
make sure the tablet battery is sufficiently charged
and unplug the tablet (disconnect the power cord)
before using the wand. While you get data from
your neurostimulator, you can observe the level
and quality of the wand signal to confirm proper
placement of the wand and that there are no large
sources of EMI that may affect data collection.
Observe the signal level and quality in particular
when:
•
You first set up the remote monitor.
•
You move the remote monitor to a new location.
•
You have problems collecting data.
•
You want to practice your placement of the wand
over the neurostimulator to see how it affects
signal strength. For best results keep the wand
directly over the neurostimulator.
Note: Before using the wand, make sure the tablet is
sufficiently charged and unplug it from the electrical
outlet.
To check the signal level and quality, see
