Stimulation On/Off
Press the stimulation on/off button ! at any
time to turn the Stimulator on or off.
Signal Strength
The Remote Control indicates the
communication signal strength between itself
and the Stimulator in the upper right corner of
the display.
For BEST communication, your Remote
Control should face the Stimulator.
• If there are no signal bars, communication
may still be achieved at a very weak level.
Move the Remote Control closer to the
Stimulator and/or reorient its position to
improve communication.
• 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 optimal
communication with the Stimulator.
• If communication is unsuccessful,
the Remote Control will display the
“Searching” message. The Remote
Control will then start continuously looking
for a signal. Either reorient the Remote
Control so that it faces the Stimulator (see
picture above), move the Remote Control
closer to the Stimulator, or move away
from potential sources of interference.
To cancel searching press and hold the
Area Button " .
Note: Avoid common sources of
communication interference such as
televisions and computer monitors.
Note: Communication between the Remote
Control and the Stimulator is not
possible while charging. Temporarily
discontinue charging in order to use
the Remote Control.
