If your remote offers you different stimulation
programs, it’s important to talk to your doctor
about which programs are best for which
symptoms. That way you can pick the right
program for your needs.
•If your doctor allows you to change the
stimulation intensity, you should be able
to tell which level is right for you based
on the improvement in symptoms
you feel.
•If you feel any side effects, make sure to
stop increasing stimulation intensity.
•To charge your remote, simply
connect it to the USB power
supply and plug into a plug
socket.
•Whenever the remote is low
on battery, it will show you a
reminder to recharge.
How do I know the
stimulation program
and intensity is
right for me?

•Make sure your remote can communicate properly with your
stimulator: If your stimulator doesn’t respond to the remote, try
moving the remote closer to your chest. Remember too that the
stimulator cannot communicate with the remote while charging.
•Don’t worry if your remote screen goes blank after around a
minute of inactivity: The remote is entering into sleep mode so
as to save battery.
•Keep up to date via your remote’s
Home screen.
