Changing magnet strength
To change the magnet to a stronger or weaker one:
1. Insert a coin or screwdriver into the magnet slot on the topside
of the coil.
2. Twist in a clockwise direction from above to remove the
magnet.
3. Insert the new magnet into the underside of the coil.
4.
Twist in a clockwise direction with your fingers from below to
further insert the magnet.
5. If necessary, use a coin or screwdriver from above to further
adjust.
If the magnet strength is too weak the coil may fall off. If it is too
strong, it may cause discomfort or skin irritation.
Consult your clinician if you wish to change the magnet strength.
Store spare magnets safely. Store them away from credit and other
cards that have a magnetic strip
Changing the coil
Coils are available in various colours and lengths. If you wish to
change coil colour
or find that the cable is too long or too short, you
can change the coil. The coil cannot be separated from the coil cable.

In order for the Freedom Processor to work with the N22
implant, the N22 Processor coil must be used. To differentiate
the N22 coil and cable from the standard Freedom one, “N22”
is printed on the underside of the coil. The N22 coil also has a
green plug.
To remove the coil from the Processing Unit, always hold the plug
securely with two fingers and pull it away from your processor. You
may damage the plug, cable or the Processing Unit if you pull the
cable or twist the plug. Make sure the coil is securely attached to the
Processing Unit by pushing the plug firmly into the socket.
Regularly check to see if there are any breaks in the coil cable. If there
are, you will need a new coil. If you do not see breaks it is still a good
idea to test the coil by using a new one.
