Ms. Illuzzi-Orbon had also raised the matter at a hearing last week, saying, “The bottom line, judge, is this man could fly out on a private jet, which he does, and go to another country like that.”

But a lawyer for Mr. Weinstein told the judge that the problems with Mr. Weinstein’s ankle monitor stemmed from dead batteries and other technical problems, insisting the disgraced movie producer had complied with the terms of his bail.

“There are no allegations that he tried to flee,” the lawyer, Arthur Aidala, said, adding that there had been no problems with the ankle monitor since Oct. 7 when the batteries were replaced.

Prosecutors had previously said that the monitor could have stopped working because it was too far away from a cellphone tower. In some instances, the prosecutor said, the bracelet did not work correctly for several hours.

Mr. Weinstein’s lawyers said that in the New York City suburb of Bedford, where Mr. Weinstein lives, cell service is weak. They also said Mr. Weinstein had hired an employee to help him with the ankle monitor.

The judge issued a warning to Mr. Weinstein — who is scheduled to have surgery on his back on Thursday after a car accident in August — that the trial would go on with or without him.

“Should you fail to appear for any reason that is voluntary, this trial will continue in your absence,” Justice Burke said. “If you have further medical issues, the court will not be terribly understanding.”
