Troubleshooting: Handheld VeRelief Device Button Issues

If you are experiencing button-related issues with your handheld VeRelief device (Mini, Reset, Prime Gen 1/2, or Prime Gen 3), follow the steps below to identify the problem and determine the next steps.


1. Normal Button Behavior by Device

Reset and Prime Gen 3 Devices

  • The buttons are intentionally looser to prevent them from getting stuck. A slight rattle is normal and does not indicate a defect.
  • If the buttons are functioning properly, you may notice:
    • Intensity Adjustment: Requires multiple presses to increase or decrease levels. This is normal.
    • Mode Selection: Only one press is needed to move to the next mode (indicated by the blinking light).
    • Finger Placement: Buttons respond to presses in the middle corners are not responsive to input. Recommend placement is using your thumb for intensity and mode selection adjustments. 

What’s Not Normal:

  • Buttons do not respond (e.g., no output or intensity changes).
  • Buttons perform the opposite action (e.g., pressing “+” lowers intensity instead of raising it).
  • Device output stops functioning entirely.

Solution: Record a short video of the problem (e.g., buttons not responding, incorrect behavior) and contact our support team at support@hoolest.com for further assistance.


Gen 1/2 Prime and Mini Devices

  • Button issues such as sticking or becoming unresponsive may occasionally occur.

What to Do:

  • Record a video clearly showing the stuck buttons or lack of functionality.
  • Contact our support team for warranty service at support@hoolest.com.

2. Identifying Button Issues

If you suspect an issue with the buttons, check the following:

  • Does the button feel stuck or loose beyond what’s normal for the device?
  • Are you seeing no changes to intensity or mode when pressing the buttons?
  • Is the device outputting stimulation or not working at all?

3. Next Steps

If the device buttons are not functioning properly:

  1. Record a clear video of the issue. Include:
    • How the buttons are being pressed.
    • What happens (or doesn’t happen) when pressing the buttons.
  2. Send the video to support@hoolest.com along with a description of the problem.

Our team will review the video and determine whether the device requires repair, replacement, or further troubleshooting.


Key Notes

  • Reset and Prime Gen 3: Light button rattle is normal and intentional.
  • Intensity Adjustment: Multiple presses are required to adjust power levels (normal).
  • Mode Selection (Prime Gen 3): Only one press moves to the next mode.
  • Gen 1/2 Primes and Minis: Stuck buttons require warranty evaluation.
