6.0 Troubleshooting—Frequently Asked Questions (cont’d)
6. How long do the electrodes last?
The electrodes should be changed approximately every
1-2 weeks, or immediately upon excessive wear.
7. How long does the battery last?
Each AA battery will last between 1 and 3 weeks depending
upon individual usage of the WalkAide. A low battery is
indicated by red and green flashing lights and a beep once
per minute.
8. Why are the WalkAide and accessories stored in a
resealable plastic bag?
This helps to keep the electrodes from drying out while not in
use. Be sure to cover the electrodes with the plastic backings
after removing the WalkAide and before placing in the
resealable plastic bag.
9. What indicates that the WalkAide is on?
A green blinking light positioned near the Intensity Knob
indicates that the power is on with adequate battery power.
10. Under what circumstances should the clinician be contacted?
Contact the clinician any time there is/are: additional questions
or concerns about the WalkAide and its proper use; a change
in the medical condition or walking pattern; any WalkAide
accessory shows excessive wear and tear; the WalkAide does
not function properly; an error message light is seen; sustained
skin irritation; and/or a request by the medical doctor.
