How to use your Body Clock Stimplus Pro
1. Turn on the power switch by sliding it to the left. The device
is now in the SEARCH mode which is indicated by a beeping
sound with a low pitch.
2. To start searching for an acupoint you should hold the Body
Clock Stimplus Pro as you would a pen with the web of your
hand in contact with the passive contact plate. See diagram
on page 5. Simply move the tip over the area where the
acupoint is located, keeping an even pressure on the tip.
3. The acupoint will then be indicated to you by one of two
ways, either by sound or visually by means of the row of
LEDS on the top of the unit.
Sound – the pitch emitted by the unit rises the nearer the
tip is to an acupoint and it drops again if you move the tip
away from the point. You will know you have located a point
when the pitch is at its highest.
Visually – the proximity of an acupoint is indicated by the
number of LEDs which are alight. When three or more LEDs
are alight, the tip is very close to a point. If all the LEDs are
lit up, the tip is over a point.
4. Please Note If the skin is very dry we recommend you use
a moisturising gel to optimize acupoint detection.
5. Once the desired point is detected, you are ready to start
stimulation. Select your preferred stimulation time by using
the time selector. Choose either 15 or 30 seconds (see
controls and indicators – page 9), or if preferred, you can
select Manual (Man) which will enable you to stimulate for
as long as you choose. If you have selected a pre-set
stimulation time, just press the stimulation button briefly
and release. The device will stop stimulating as soon as the
BodyclockStimplusProMa ual2016.qx8_Layout 1 10/08/2016 10:23 Page 3

4
time is over. If you have selected the manual setting,
the device will stimulate only for as long as you press the
stimulation button.
6. The intensity level is reset to minimum each time the unit is
switched off and on again. While in search mode you can
see the previous intensity setting by pressing the intensity
button, after which, the previous intensity setting will
appear for five seconds in the 6 LED bar, thereby allowing
the user to decrease or increase the previous intensity level
prior to starting the stimulation mode.
7. You may select one of three rhythms; 5 Hz, 10 Hz or 20 Hz
i.e. whichever provides the best comfort and this can vary
between different areas of the body.
8. As soon as stimulation begins the beeping sound stops and
the green light on the top of the unit flashes indicating
stimulation. Using the intensity control you can adjust the
intensity to a comfortable level by pressing either “+” or “-”
to increase or decrease intensity. The intensity level is also
indicated by the LED scale. If the LED nearest to the tip is
flashing the intensity is set at minimum. If the LED flashing
is furthest from the tip, the intensity is on maximum.
9. Once stimulation is over, the device switches back to the
search mode and the sound is audible again.
10. During stimulation you may feel the electric current at the
stimulation site. However when in search mode you will not
feel it.
11. You can use the ear piece to hear the audible signals from
the Body Clock Stimplus Pro by yourself, thereby avoiding
others having to listen to it if it is not convenient. The ear
piece consists of a lead with a jack plug at one end and the
BodyclockStimplusProMa ual2016.qx8_Layout 1 10/08/2016 10:23 Page 4

earphone at the other end. To activate the ear piece,
insert the jack plug into the earphone jack. See diagram
on page 9. The ear piece is now ready for use.
12. A low battery indicator will flash when the batteries are
weak. See diagram on page 9. This means that you will have
to replace the batteries as soon as possible.
13. When you have finished using your Body Clock Stimplus Pro
do not forget to turn it off.
How to achieve est results from your
Body Clock Stimplus Pro
To ensure proper operation and to achieve best results,
please read the following information for guidance:-
1. When holding the unit, physical contact must be made
between the passive contact plate (-) and the web of
your hand.
2. The Body Clock Stimplus Pro
should be held by the
person being treated as the
passive contact plate (-) acts
as one part of the circuit, the
other being the probe (tip),
which is applied to the
relevant acupoint.
5
BodyclockStimplusProMa ual2016.qx8_Layout 1 10/08/2016 10:23 Page 5

3. When treating another person
the operator or practitioner
should position the tip onto the
point(s) to be treated and
ensure that physical contact is
maintained between him/herself
and the person being treated in
order to complete the circuit.
4. As an alternative to 3 above,
you can use the wrist strap to
the same effect. The wrist strap
enables one person to treat
another without having to make
physical contact with their skin.
The wrist strap consists of a
lead with a bracelet attachment
at one end and a jack plug at the other. When the wrist strap
is to be used the jack plug should be inserted into the jack
socket on the underside of the device (see diagram on
page 9). The bracelet section should be worn by the patient.
5. A precision extension tip is also
provided, which can extend the
tip (+) to assist you where an
acupoint is difficult to reach.
This is simply placed over the
tip and is then ready for use.

6. Good skin care is important in minimizing any potential
skin irritation which could occur with active use of the tip.
Prepare the skin before using the Body Clock Stimplus Pro by:
(a) thoroughly washing the skin sites to be treated with a
mild soap and water solution to remove any non-conductive
skin oils;
(b) rinsing the area with warm water and drying thoroughly.
Electrode Placement (Gold Tip) - see page 6
For pain reduction, place the gold tip on or above the point
of pain.

How it works
The Body Clock Stimplus Pro can both SEARCH for acupoints and
STIMULATE them.
Search Mode: A very low current is utilised to measure the body’s
resistance and this information is converted by the device into
pitch variations – the lower the resistance, the higher the pitch.
Since stimulation points are characterised by low resistance,
they can be accurately detected in this way.
Stimulation Mode: Detected points are stimulated by means
of a pulsed electronic signal for selected lengths of time with
adjustable intensity.
During stimulation time the detection beeper sound is replaced
by a green flashing light, which indicates stimulation is taking
place. Three LED flashing light frequencies correspond to the
three stimulation frequencies (rhythms) selected by the user.
Once stimulation is over the device returns automatically to
search mode.
The stimulation signal from the Body Clock Stimplus Pro has a
unique waveform which has been found to be highly effective.
Intensity is controlled by the user and is able to reach a level
sufficient to effectively stimulate the body under most conditions.
WARNING: This device is not a replacement for medical
attention. Consult your doctor in any case of any undiagnosed
pain or illness before using the Body Clock Stimplus Pro.
