Chapter 15. Switching from Primary Companion 2 Driver to
Backup Companion 2 Driver
A backup implant Driver (CSS or Companion 2) must always be available in the
event the primary Driver fails. This section describes how to switch to a backup
Companion 2 Driver.
Always program the correct settings for the backup Driver when the primary
Driver is programmed.
NOTE : The procedure described below to switch drivers is the same for both the
50cc TAH-t and 70cc TAH-t.
15.1. Preparation for the Driver Exchange
Turn the backup Driver key switch to the ON position. The Driver will
operate on internal battery power.
Note : The backup Driver will begin operating at the previously set
settings while the software starts. It is safe to use the backup
Driver during this process. Even though the display will
remain dark, the alarm indicator LEDs will show alarm status.
The display will remain dark until the software is completely
operational.
15.2. Driver Exchange
15.2.1. Disconnect the Driveline connector from the primary Driver by
depressing the tab on the side of the Driveline connector. Attach
the Driveline connector to the connection on the backup Driver in
the same direction (as shown in
Figure 15-1 ).
