The telemetry strength indicators on the Merlin Antenna indicate RF telemetry
communication between the Merlin Antenna and the device. A single lighted LED indicates
telemetry is established. A greater number of lighted LEDs indicates stronger signal strength.
If necessary, relocate the Merlin Antenna for better communication. See Suboptimal RF
Communication (page 19).

Once RF telemetry is established, you may remove the inductive telemetry wand from the
patient.

Begin the programming session.
CAUTION: Position the Merlin Antenna at least 20 cm (8 in) away from the patient and
any other devices that might interfere with the Merlin Antenna's operation.
Do not use the Merlin Antenna if its enclosure is damaged.
