Patient System Handbook

32

Note: •

The end of a charge signal is a distinct double beep, and the alignment indicator is a steady 
continuous signal.

•

The implant battery will eventually need replacement. Over time (typically over years) you 
may start to charge more frequently. As long as it is convenient, you can use the system. 
When you are ready for a replacement, talk with your healthcare professional.
