PowerDot Bluetooth protocol allows to adjust main stimulation parameters (frequency, impulse
duration, periods of contraction/relaxation, etc.) for
each stimulation channel independently, to start
andstopstimulation,toadjustintensitiesduringthestimulationaswellasabletoprovidefeedbackon
thestatus/resistanceofelectrodesconnectivityandbatterycharge.
Once stimulation started, PowerDot will handle the stimulation session (or part of it) on its own and
won’t require
any continuous Bluetooth communication with the operating device (other than
requesting the battery status every once in a while) until the user decides to do stimulation session
