Like any wireless equipment, the system's activity and health devices need working batteries to run. There is an easy way for you to remotely check on the battery levels, from any Internet-connected computer - the Battery Report. Most of activity and digital health devices are designed to provide their current battery levels wirelessly. Your loved one's system listens for that data, and reports the battery levels on a Battery Report available on the Care Menu. You ''can'' and ''should'' check this battery report frequently, so that you know when to replace the batteries on your loved one's devices.</td></tr>
