Communication Signals
Four rapid,
ascending
musical tones and a screen message signal the
successful completion of an interrogation or programming operation.
Four rapid,
descending
musical tones and a screen message signal a
warning or a failed operation.
The DATA/RCVD indicator on the Programming Wand lights up during a
successful programming operation or interrogation.
Caution:
If the Procedure Failed message appears on the screen,
check both the connection between the handheld computer and the
Programming Wand and the positioning of the Programming Wand in
relation to the Pulse Generator (see the physician’s manual for the
Programming Wand). If you continue to have communication
problems, change the battery in the Programming Wand.
Caution:
The DATA/RCVD indicator on the Programming Wand may
also light up or flicker in the presence of electromagnetic interference
(EMI) or noise. Information on how to detect EMI is provided in the
physician’s manual for the Programming Wand, sections entitled
Understanding the Indicator Lights and Troubleshooting. If the
presence of EMI or noise is suspected, you must verify that the
programming or interrogation occurred successfully by reviewing the
PARAMETER Screen shown in Figure 3 on page 15.
