Static Stimulation and Battery Test Feature
When the RFA-188 Battery Module is fi rst installed in the receiver, the red LED will fl ash the current stimulation level setting
(1 to 5). For the next 30 seconds, the receiver will monitor the battery status and will either fl ash the green LED once every 5
seconds to indicate a good battery, or fl ash the red LED once every 5 seconds to indicate a low battery condition. After the 30
second battery test period, the green LED will cease to fl ash if the battery is good. If the battery was low during the test period,
the red LED will continue to fl ash at a rate of 1 fl ash every 20 seconds to indicate a low battery condition. In this situation,
battery replacement is recommended.
To Set the Static Stimulation Level
Read all steps before attempting to set the Static Stimulation Level.
1.With the battery installed, press the Stimulation Level Button and release when the Receiver
Indicator Light lights red (5E).
2.The Receiver Indicator Light will emit a number of red fl ashes representing the Static
Stimulation Level (5F).
3.Increase the Static Stimulation Level by pressing and releasing the Stimulation Level Button within 5
seconds of the previous fl ashes.
The Static Stimulation Levels increase from 1 to 5. Pushing the Stimulation Level Button while the
