The Remote Control
Understanding Battery Messages
About the Remote Control Batteries
As an SCS patient, it is essential that you appreciate the importance of battery power! The replaceable batteries in your Remote
Control and the rechargeable battery in your stimulator work together to provide you with consistent, dependable stimulation. Always
pay close attention to the battery status messages described in this section.
When the Remote Control batteries are at a low power level, the battery message shown here will be displayed. It is a good idea to
replace the batteries at this point. If you continue to use the Remote Control without replacing the batteries, you will eventually see the
message "Replace Remote Battery." Do not ignore the message to replace the batteries.
P
When you press the
button from this screen, the Remote Control will make a check of your Stimulator's battery status also.
If the Stimulator battery is full or OK, the Remote Control will return to the Level screen. To learn about the messages you will see
when the Stimulator's battery is less than full, see "Remote Control Display Messages" on page 36.
If you do not respond to the Remote Battery Low message in a timely manner, the batteries will eventually drain to the point of not
having enough power to manage your stimulator.
