Appendix B: The Effect of Ambient Temperature on
Valve Adjustment
Ambient temperature affects the number of adjustment cycles that can be completed before the transmitter reaches
the temperature safety shut-off limit. It also has an effect on how quickly the transmitter will cool. In warm
environments (>30 ºC), the program unit reaches the temperature shut-off limit more quickly, and cools more
slowly than in cooler environments (<20 ºC).
Store the program unit and transmitter in a cool, dry location. Avoid storage in areas with high heat or
high humidity.
"TRANSMITTER HEAD COOLING" Message
If repeated adjustment attempts cause the transmitter to become warm, the following LCD message indicates that
the temperature limit has been exceeded:
CAUTION: The temperature safety shut-off limit was chosen to ensure patient safety. Remove the
transmitter from contact with the patient while the message "TRANSMITTER HEAD COOLING
PLEASE WAIT" is displayed.
When the transmitter has cooled, the program unit displays the following message:
*If the program unit is in the Packaged Valve mode, this line of the message will read "PACKAGED VALVE."
Note: If the above message does not appear within one hour, return the transmitter for service.

To change the language again, turn the power off, then on again. Then immediately repeat the preceding procedure.

Appendix D: The Inverted Valve Adjustment Cycle (Optional)

An inverted valve can be diagnosed on x-ray: the white marker appears on the left side of the valve, instead of the
right side. When an inverted valve has been diagnosed, use the inverted valve adjustment cycle to adjust the valve
to any of the 18 settings. This optional command is in effect for one adjustment cycle only. Follow the steps
below to enable this feature.
1. If the program unit power is on, turn it off. Turn power on. The title screen (shown below) displays for
3 seconds.
