Patient System Handbook 46 Understanding Battery Status Messages About the Remote Control Batteries As an SCS patient, it’s 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 parasthesia. 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. When you press the Dbutton from this screen, the remote will make a check of your implant’s battery status also. If the implant battery is full or OK, the Remote Control will return to the Level screen. To learn about the messages you will see when the implant’s battery is less than full, see page 48.
