Battery level

Problem

Possible cause

Solution

Module battery low

During the stimulation a module
may turn out to be discharged.

Stop the stimulation and
recharge the discharged module.

The remote control shows a discharged battery symbol. Shown on the channel where the problem was
detected (in this case channel 4):
