The Precision Spectra Remote Control (RC) is a handheld
device that allows you to communicate with and control
your Precision Spectra Stimulator. Designed for ease of
use, the RC puts you in control of your stimulation therapy.
Typically, you will be using the RC to turn stimulation on
and off, increase or decrease stimulation strength, and
change or modify programs that your healthcare provider
has already created for you.

A Stimulation Program
P
is a group of configured settings that produce
the stimulation to help you manage your pain. One or more Programs were
configured by your healthcare provider (for example, at the clinic) after
consideration of your pain management needs and preferences. Whenever you
are using your Stimulator, one of these Programs is active, and stimulation is
delivered according to the configured settings. Up to 16 customizable Programs
can be configured on a Stimulator – each one identified by a number and a
name, such as
1 2
... “Program 1.”
