10 Battery Status
Battery Status
The PA is designed to record data on command once a week, read data from your implanted device once
a month, and send data once a month. Under these conditions you can expect the PA battery to last
about 3 years. Sending data more than once a month will drain the battery sooner.
Caring for the PA
The PA is designed to be used as indicated; however, it is an electronic device and susceptible to many
environmental stresses. Take care to avoid damaging the PA.
If necessary, you can clean the outside of the PA with a cloth dampened with water. The PA is classified as
IPX0 because it is not waterproof. Do not immerse the PA in any liquid.
There is no shut down procedure for the PA. The battery is not intended to be removed while in use.
The PA does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Do not open the case. Preventive maintenance,
including periodic safety checks, is not required for this device. Do not modify the PA. If there is a problem
with the PA, contact Technical Support (page 11).
