Connecting the Lead Extension

1. Wipe clean the proximal end of the lead,
then insert the proximal end into the lead
extension connector or splitter until it
stops and the retention ring (long ring) is
under the setscrew.
Note: If there appears to be an obstruction
when inserting the lead into the lead
extension connector, use the hex
wrench to loosen (counterclockwise)
the setscrew and/or gently rotate the
lead to help advance the proximal
end.
2. Ensure that the lead is fully inserted
before tightening the setscrew to prevent
lead damage.
3. Using the hex wrench supplied, turn the
extension connector setscrew clockwise
until it clicks, indicating lock.
Note: • Ensure that the hex wrench is
fully seated in the setscrew before
tightening.
• The hex wrench is torque-limited
and cannot be overtightened.
