•Please note that as long as the yellow light shows,
the charger is only partially charged. This means it
can still be used to charge your stimulator but it may
not be possible to recharge the stimulator fully.
•When a green light shows, the charger is fully
charged. This means it is ready to charge your
stimulator.
•If the indicator light is not showing while the
charger is in the base station, there may be a loose
connection. Check that the charger is securely
placed in the base station.

2. Place the charger within your charging belt
•Once sufficiently charged, remove the charger
from the base station. Before you place your
charger in your charging belt, make sure to
switch your charger on, using the circular
power button in the middle of the charger.
•The green indicator light will show and the
charger will beep in a steady continuous
rhythm. Once the charger is correctly aligned
with your stimulator, the beeping will stop.
•Place the charger into the pouch of your
charger belt and place the belt around
your waist.
•Adjust the straps on the belt so they are
loose enough for you to feel comfortable.
Make sure the mesh fabric of your belt is
facing outwards.
3. Position the belt to align the
charger with your stimulator
•Move the belt slightly up and down and from
side to side until the charger is resting over
your stimulator. If you need to, you can adjust
the length of the belt to the right size for you. When
correctly positioned the continuous single beeps will stop.
•Check the charger occasionally to ensure it’s centered over your
stimulator. If not centered properly, charging times may vary.
•You know the stimulator is fully charged when you hear a double
beep for a total of 60 seconds and see that the green indicator
light has switched off. Although you don’t have to charge your
stimulator to 100% it can be helpful to know that your battery is
fully charged.
Tip: Once your stimulator is charged, return your charger to the base
station. This ensures it will be fully charged for the next time you need it.
Then you’re all set!

•Choose a charging schedule that works for
you: You can decide whether to have shorter,
more frequent charging sessions or longer,
less frequent charging sessions. Pick a rou-
tine that best fits into your daily lifestyle and
don’t forget that you can easily charge while
watching your favorite TV program or reading
the morning paper. A standard charging session
once a week generally takes 30–60 minutes.
•Check your battery status via your Freelink™Remote Control:
As long as your charger isn’t currently charging your stimulator,
your Freelink™remote will show your stimulator’s battery
status. Whenever this is low, your stimulator should be charged
as soon as possible.
•Keep your base station plugged in so it is always ready to
charge your charger when needed.
