Stimulator Battery

When the Remote Control communicates with the Stimulator, the battery status is
sent to the Remote Control.
The Remote Control displays a battery graphic near the top center of the screen to
indicate the battery level of the Stimulator. The graphic is easy to understand: three
filled-in bars means that the Stimulator has a fully-charged battery.
Note: The battery graphic indicates the battery level of the Stimulator, not the
Remote Control.
As the battery strength wears down, depending on the stimulation parameters and
usage, the bars will empty, as shown in the chart below. For complete information on
maintaining the Stimulator's battery, see Charging the Stimulator on page 41.

Stimulator Battery Messages

When the Stimulator's battery is low, the Remote Control will display a "Recharge
Stimulator Soon" message. The Stimulator should be recharged as soon as possible.
If the Stimulator is not recharged and the Stimulator's battery becomes very low, the
Remote Control will display a "Recharge Stimulator Now" message. The Stimulator
should be recharged immediately. Failure to recharge the Stimulator will lead to loss
of stimulation within less than 24 hours. If the Stimulator turns off due to a very low
battery, it will need to be charged for approximately two hours (with the Charger
properly aligned) before it can be turned on again.
If the patient reports that stimulation has stopped, instruct the patient to check the
Stimulator battery status with the Remote Control.
