Guest guest Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Kim, I had the same problem at first.....i cant use the belt....i sit down and move the device around..,..as soon as I have the maximum bars,,,,I sid on it and stay there till it is charged. I use my stim about 20 hours a day......I only need to recharge about 1 time a month. It sometime takes several times of hitting the green start button. Also, try charging without the stim on.

OK my programmer says my battery power is less than 1/4 so I got my charger out and tried to get it to work. I cannot get it to get any bars on the screen. I got hubby to work with me so if I was not just getting it in the right spot or something. He was unable to get it on the right spot as well. AT one time we had 4 bars on the screen but it only lasted like 1 min then we got the no communication error screen. We are going to try it again tonight he read the book again which states that we need to hit the start screen after we change the antenna which we were not doing but I cannot believe that it is that hard to get connection between the antenna and the device. I mean the device is 2 inches long the antenna is huge! I am very small as well I weigh 125 so I know its not a matter of it having to go through a lot of fatty tissue. I was using the device directly on the skin. My rep showed me how to do it in the drs office last week when I went in for a check up and he had problems getting it to show up too. He finally got a few bars on skin so he told me to do it directly on the skin. Anyway I wanted to ask does anyone else here have issues like this when you are charging???? Or is this somethign that is unusual? If we cannot get any better luck tonight I am calling the rep tomorrow to see if maybe I have a piece of defective equipment. I do not want to be stuck over Xmas holidays with a dead battery on my stimulator and no one around to help me!

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I have tried it both with the belt on and off. I cannot get any bars at all! I was doing it without the stim on. I did not even know for a while that I could activate the stim from there til I hit that button and did it Imagine my suprise! So did you have the same thing? You could not get any bars at all? I was standing and sitting and hubby was moving the antenna device all over my back on that side. Heck we even tried the side and I moved it around to my abdomen to see if that might pick up something! I never could get any bars at all with the belt then I finally got 2 bars for maybe 2 min with the belt then I got an error msg. Hubby then got 4 bars for maybe 1 min and then error msg again. We are going to play with it again tonight. Hopefully we will have an easier time with it then. I cannot sit on mine as it is implanted up higher The incision is more mid back on the left side. I guess I could put it between me and the pillow behind me and sit and read. How long does it take for yours to recharge? Problems Charging battery Hey guys Here I go again lol.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Try pushing on one side of your battery pack. I did this and was able to get more of the flat side of the battery closer and then mine charged. I have been having trouble getting my new one to charge and it is because the battery keeps shifting in the pocket in my back.  It varies on how long it takes to charge; it depends on how low your battery is and how many bars you get when charging. Hope this helps.  Trish From: kimleach <kimleach@...> Subject: Re: Problems Charging battery Stimulator Date: Sunday, December 21, 2008, 8:32 PM I have tried it both with the belt on and off.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 I don't have any problems charging. My charger usually shows all the bars or one or two less. I don't recall where your SCS is located or what kind you have, but I have extra things I have to attach to my charger to get good connection. There just little plastic things to make my stimulator stick out more so I get better connection. My SCS book says if it goes dead that the doctor has to do something to restart it and the second time it goes dead it's just dead. Has anyone had that problem? I'm afraid to let the SCS drop below 1/2 charge. I'm very forgetful and afraid I will forget to charge it and let it go dead. Will it really stop recharging if I accidentally let the battery go dead? > > Hey guys > Here I go again lol.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Can you feel your stimulator through your skin. I feel for the edge of my stimulator and that helps me get the charger in the right spot. I also find I get a better signal between the SCS and charger if I sit or lay on it. My stimulator is in the hip/buttocks area so sitting on it isn't a problem. Maybe you could try putting the charger where the SCS is and then laying on it. > > I have tried it both with the belt on and off. I cannot get any bars at all! I was doing it without the stim on.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 My stim has shut off. Sometimes if I forget to charge or were busy, all of a sudden it just stops. But all I have to do is put my charger on. It takes it anywhere from 45 mins to an hour to start again and then I continue to charge to get a full charge. But that's happened to me about 6 times. That's why I put it on at least every other day if I'm home to keep it completely charged up. I don't ever turn mine off.

My charger usually shows all the bars or one or two less. I don't recall where your SCS is located or what kind you have, but I have extra things I have to attach to my charger to get good connection. There just little plastic things to make my stimulator stick out more so I get better connection. My SCS book says if it goes dead that the doctor has to do something to restart it and the second time it goes dead it's just dead. Has anyone had that problem? I'm afraid to let the SCS drop below 1/2 charge. I'm very forgetful and afraid I will forget to charge it and let it go dead. Will it really stop recharging if I accidentally let the battery go dead? > > Hey guys > Here I go again lol. OK my programmer says my battery power is less than 1/4 so I got my charger out and tried to get it to work. I cannot get it to get any bars on the screen. I got hubby to work with me so if I was not just getting it in the right spot or something. He was unable to get it on the right spot as well. AT one time we had 4 bars on the screen but it only lasted like 1 min then we got the no communication error screen. > We are going to try it again tonight he read the book again which states that we need to hit the start screen after we change the antenna which we were not doing but I cannot believe that it is that hard to get connection between the antenna and the device. I mean the device is 2 inches long the antenna is huge! > I am very small as well I weigh 125 so I know its not a matter of it having to go through a lot of fatty tissue. I was using the device directly on the skin. > My rep showed me how to do it in the drs office last week when I went in for a check up and he had problems getting it to show up too. He finally got a few bars on skin so he told me to do it directly on the skin. > Anyway I wanted to ask does anyone else here have issues like this when you are charging???? Or is this somethign that is unusual? > If we cannot get any better luck tonight I am calling the rep tomorrow to see if maybe I have a piece of defective equipment. I do not want to be stuck over Xmas holidays with a dead battery on my stimulator and no one around to help me! > > Kim > Freelance Copywriter and Blogger > Articles on Suite 101 > http://ghosts- hauntings.suite101.com/article.cfm/the_haunting_of_carnton_mansion > http://psychic- abilities.suite101.com/article.cfm/live_online_psychic_readings_guide > > My Blogs > > > http://dealwithchronicpain.org > http://naturalcuresreview.org > http://msfrugalmcdougal.org > > My Ehow Articles > > > http://www.ehow.com/members/starchild47.html > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
