Connecting to the IPG
1. Fully insert the Leads, Lead Extensions, Splitters, and/or Connector(s) into the IPG Ports, being careful
not to stress or bend the proximal end of the Lead (see Figure 6). When properly inserted, the Lead,
Lead Extensions, Splitters, and/or Connector(s) will stop and the retention ring will be located under
the Setscrew.
Note: Lead Extensions, Adapters, and Splitters are not full body MRI scan eligible.

2. Fully insert a Port Plug into unused IPG Ports.
Note: If you experience difficulty when inserting the Lead, Lead Extension, Splitter, Connector, or Port
Plug, use the Hex Wrench to loosen (counterclockwise) the Setscrew and/or gently rotate the
Lead to help advance the proximal end.
Note: To confirm proper connections, check impedances before tightening the Setscrew. The IPG
must be in contact with the subcutaneous pocket in order to measure impedances accurately.
3. Pass the Hex Wrench through the hole in the septum located on the front or back of the IPG header
and tighten each Setscrew until the Hex Wrench "clicks," indicating lock (see Figure 7).

Caution: Ensure that the Lead is fully inserted before tightening the Setscrew to prevent Lead
damage.
