TROUBLESHOOTING
Use the following to fix some common problems. If these do not fix the problem, refer to the
“Troubleshooting” section in the Remote Monitor Manual.
Laptop does not turn on
when you press the
power button.
Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the wall outlet and into the
correct outlet on the remote monitor.
If using the laptop battery for power, make sure it is fully charged.
The wand signal strength
is very low, absent or the
signal is erratic.
Make sure the wand is properly connected to the laptop and you have
positioned the cupped side of the wand directly over of the Neurostimulator.
Move the wand closer to the Neurostimulator to see if signal quality
improves.
Try unplugging the laptop from the wall outlet. Make sure the battery is
charged before doing so. Then retest the wand signal.
Try moving the remote monitor to another location and then retest the wand
signal.

connection. Allow 20 minutes for data to be sent when using a phone line
connection.
