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
paresthesia. 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.
When you press the P button from this screen, the Remote Control will make a check of
your Stimulator’s battery status also.
