Stimulation Amplitude
Whenever stimulation is turned on, or after the Remote Control is awakened from
sleep mode, the Remote Control display defaults to the Level screen.
Note: When there is no button activity for more than 60 seconds, the Remote Control
will transition to sleep mode and the display screen will be blank.
Usually, changes to the amplitude of stimulation will not be permitted using the
Remote Control. In these cases, the physician should determine the optimal amplitude
for stimulation therapy. However, for certain patients, physicians may allow patients
to change stimulation levels.
If the physician has allowed control of the stimulation amplitude, press the ▲ or ▼
button from the Level screen to increase or decrease the amplitude. The triangular
ramp in the center of the screen will ll as the stimulation amplitude increases.
Stimulator Battery
The Level screen also 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
lled-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.
