Mine has buttons for on & off, and I can turn each side up and down within the parameters that my programmer sets, but there is no indicator of the current setting.

You would think that if Medtronics can make a brain implant, they could manage an LED pad or something. <br /><br />Actually, they have promised me a new remote when I go in to have the battery changed. You probably got a remotely rechargeable battery too. I was told that the battery would last about 2 years, and I've had it going now for almost 5 years.
