7.1 The Control Unit
The Control Unit (Figure 5) controls the implanted stimulator via the Antenna,
which must be located on the skin on top of the implanted stimulator. The Control
Unit receives signals from the Heel Switch (see section 7.5 on page 35) about
when to stimulate.
The various buttons are described in the following sections. The Control Unit should
be carried at the waist but additional positions are also possible. On the back of the
Control Unit there is a magnet that keeps the Control Unit fixed to the various fix
-
tures used for carrying the Control Unit (see section 7.2 on page 27 about Control
Unit fixation).
The Control Unit has a number of light indicators that show the status of the Control
Unit (see Figure 6)
