HELLO EXPORT

I HAVE A DBS, TOO FITTED 2004

THE SENSATION ATSWITCH ON/OFF I HATE

EXTREMLY UNPLEASANT, IM NOT A WIMP,BUTI CANT STAND IT

DO U EXPERIENCE THIS?.

your questkion

VOLTAGE3.4V YU MEAN BATTERY VOLTAGE

VOLTS, DONT DECIDE THE HIT( SENSATION)YOU FEEL

THE HIT IS A WAVEFORM SORTA LIKE WAVES IN THE SEA

3 THINGS YU NEED TO KNOW, ABOUT A WAVE

THE WAVE SIZE, THE WAVE QUANTITY,HOW LONG THE WAVE LASTS

THE 3 THINGS DECIDE HOW CHOPPY, THE WATER IS,, yes

the settings can be changed IF,U HAVE A PATIENT PROGRAMMER

A WORD OF CAUTION, IT IS EASY TO LOSE THE SETTINGS,

READ PATIENT PROGRAMMER HANDBOOK, BUT BETTER STILL

CONTACT, THE NEURO TECHNICIANNAT THE HOStITAL YOUR DBS WAS FITTED

this is really difficult, to adjust yourself

Thank-you.for your answer . Although you are talking about some thing, From what you say. Am I rite in thinking that you can switch your on or off ?

Never had a hand book .

You say the voltage has nothing to do with how much of a hit I get.. I say your wrong also I don't know how yours works. I know you don't how mine works

I have a remote control unit where I can adjust the settings. I am not aware that 3.4 volts is the maximum setting - I am on 2.80 on the right and 3.10 on the left. Hope this helps. Tony

Export I believe you can download manual if you have a medtronix DBS. Our biggest challenge lately is that many of the stores that carry merchandise that sells for over $500 have beefed up their security and it is turning off stimulator. Home Depot, Lowes and Walmart all culprits. Their security system is controlled off site so it cannot be bypassed by an employee. Any suggestions anyone?
