4 Device Care and Storage
 Handle the CereStim R96 with care. Do not drop or strike the device. In the event that the device is
dropped, the CereStim R96 must be returned to Blackrock Microsystems for inspection and
recalibration before the device can be used again (See section 7).
 Clean the outside of the CereStim R96 using a cloth dampened with water or alcohol when
necessary. Do not submerge the device in water or cleaning solutions.
 Keep the device away from liquids. The CereStim R96 is not fluid resistant and can become
damaged by fluid ingress.
 Store the CereStim R96 at -20˚C to 50˚C, 10 to 100% relative humidity (non-condensing).
5 Troubleshooting
Stim Manager does not recognize the CereStim R96. I am unable to send commands from Stim Manager
to the CereStim R96.
1. Make sure that your PC recognizes the CereStim R96 as an HID interface. Right Click on ‘My
Computer’ in the Start-up Menu and select Manage. Select Device Manager, expand the
Human Interface Devices List and confirm that your USB device is recognized. If the USB is
not recognized, the CereStim R96 may require a shorter USB cable.
2. Check to make sure that all connections are secure.
