Charging Your OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG
1. Assume a stationary, comfortable sitting position, ideally reclining at a
45° angle (such as on a sofa or armchair).
2. Determine the location of your OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG (typically
right upper chest area). Drape the wand cable around your neck and
then place the flat side of the Vesta charging wand (the side with the
four blue rubber screw covers) directly over your OPTIMIZER Smart
Mini IPG implant site (over your clothes). To prevent the charging
wand from becoming displaced while charging your OPTIMIZER
Smart Mini IPG, you may attach the charging wand cable clip to your
clothing.
3. Start the charging process by pressing the Power Button, holding the
button down for 1-2 seconds, and then releasing it. See Figure 6.
