Patient System Handbook

Signal Strength

The Remote Control indicates the signal strength between the unit and the Stimulator in the upper right corner of the display:
• If there are no signal bars, move the Remote Control closer and tilt it. If there are no signal bars, communication may still be
achieved, however, it is at a very weak level.
• If there are 1 or 2 signal bars, there is adequate communication between the Remote Control and the Stimulator.
• If there are 3 or 4 signal bars, the Remote Control is achieving optimum communication with the Stimulator.
• After missing a telemetry message, the Remote Control will display the "Searching" message. The Remote Control will then start
looking for signal strength every second. Move to a better spot and wait for the signal strength to display. To cancel searching
press .

Note: Avoid common sources of interference, such as televisions and computer monitors.

The Level Screen

Whenever stimulation is turned on, or after the Remote Control is awakened from sleep/idle mode, the Remote Control display
defaults to the Level screen. When you press the p or q button from this display, you are able to increase or decrease the
stimulation strength, or level, of all of your pain areas at once (if your Stimulator was programmed to treat more than one area).
To learn about adjusting the stimulation of individual areas, please see "Selecting Areas for Level Control" on page 17.
