amplitude, or intensity, of the stimulation and are the ON/OFF CONTROL. The ON indicator signal will stay lit as
long as the unit is working, and mimics the output of the electrical pulse.
Caution: If the stimulation levels are uncomfortable or become uncomfortable, reduce the stimulation
intensity to a comfortable level and contact your physician if problems persist.
"INCREASE" control button (triangle-button)
This button increases the pulse width from 50~300µs, increases the pulse rate from 2 to 150Hz, and increases the
timer from 5 to 90 mins in continuous mode.
3.3 MRW (Modulated Rate and Width) Mode:
The pulse rate and width are automatically varied in a cycle to produce a pleasant,
massage-like sensation. It's believed that nerves can become accustomed to, or
"accommodated" to the same electrical stimulus after a period of time and thus
would require increasing the intensity to further block the pain. The Modulation
mode offers different electrical stimulation, thus preventing nerve accommodation
so less intensity is required for long and effective treatment.
In this mode, during the beginning of 0.5 sec. period, the WIDTH is decreased to
50% of its original setting, and during the next 0.5 sec. period, the RATE is
decreased to 50% of its original setting. Therefore, the total cycle time is 1 second.
The Stimulation Mode button is located under the front lid cover and is
adjusted by pressing the "MODE" control button.
Be sure that when adjusting these stimulation modes, the intensity (amplitude)
output controls are set to the minimum output positions.
3.1 BURST Mode:
The burst mode provides a "burst" of seven pulses. There are two bursts that
are delivered per second. Positive pulse and negative pulse are delivered
continuously at fixed 100 Hz. Pulse width are adjustable from 50~300µs.
3.2 NORMAL Mode:
The Normal mode produces a continuous train of impulses. The stimulation parameters are not automatically
interrupted nor varied in any way. In this mode, the pulse rate ( from 2 to 150Hz)
and pulse width ( from 50 to 300µs) are fully adjustable. The normal mode is quite
versatile because it may be applied with a variety of rate and width settings.

COMPARTMENT OF UNIT. To remove the battery cover, press and pull down following the direction of the
arrow indicated on the battery cover.
3.4 SD (Strength Duration) Mode:
Strength-Duration modulation consists of alternating modulated intensity and
pulse width, so the intensity is always increasing while the pulse width is
decreasing and vice-versa. The stimulation intensity is modulated to 62.5%
maximum of setting (width equal to setting). The pulse width is modulated to 67%
of setting (intensity equal to setting). Total cycle time is 6 seconds. Pulse rate
(from 2~150Hz) and pulse width (from 50~300µs) are fully adjustable.
3.5 Bi-Pulse Mode:
Delivers 4 pulses per second to Channel 1(i.e. the pulse rate of Channel 1 is fixed
at 4 Hz) while delivering 100 pulses per second to Channel 2 (i.e. the pulse rate of
Channel 2 is fixed at 100 Hz). Stimulation is burst on for 1.0 second, then off for 1.0
second (the illustration shows each pulse as a vertical line). Pulse width (from
50~300µs) is fully adjustable.

Individual treatment time:
Press "INCREASE" button (triangle button) or “DECREASE” button (inverted
triangle button) to see next record of treatment time with the number of times or
previous record of treatment time with the number of times.
Press and hold Set button for 3 seconds to delete the displayed record. After the
record is deleted, the unit will make a "beeping" sound.
NOTE:
1. If the treatment time is under one minute, it will not be recorded. For example, If your
treatment time is 10 minutes and 30 seconds, the patient compliance timer will record 10
minutes, not 11 minutes.
2. The patient compliance timer can only record up to 999 minutes for each treatment.
Therefore, if you keep using the stimulator for over 999 minutes, it will only record 999
minutes and the record time will flash to mean the treatment time is over 999 minutes.
