How your controller worksThe controller is used to control and monitoryour external neurostimulator. You will useyour controller to perform the following tasks:•Turn your stimulation on or off.•Check the external neurostimulator andcontroller battery status.•Change stimulation settings.The controller communicates wirelessly withyour external neurostimulator by sendingsignals to and receiving signals from theexternal neurostimulator.
