# 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.

If you’re unsure or the device isn’t functioning properly, reach out to **support@hoolest.com**—we’re here to help!
