Confirming a Good Telemetry Link
It is important to confirm that there is a good telemetry link between the Programmer Interface and
the IPG after selecting the IPG.
the IPG after selecting the IPG.
In order to get a good telemetry signal, ensure that the Programmer Interface is placed in its
upright position with no obstructions between the Programmer Interface and the IPG. Telemetry
performance is best when the Programmer Interface front or back side label is facing the IPG and
is a distance of 2 meters or less from the IPG.

performance is best when the Programmer Interface front or back side label is facing the IPG and
is a distance of 2 meters or less from the IPG.
Check the quality of the telemetry link between the Programmer Interface and the IPG by looking
at the Link Quality Indicator (Figure 6) on the Software Application screen. Two or more bars are
required in order to ensure that parameter updates occur in the IPG when requested.

Therapy Settings
Neo Legacy has up to three independently programmable therapies (Therapies 1, 2, 3). Each therapy has its
own status window. Each Therapy status window contains a therapy status indicator, the therapy settings,
and an “Edit and Test…” button. Therapy settings can be changed by clicking the “Edit and Test…”
button.
