2. prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy;
3. increasing local blood circulation;
4. muscle re-education;
5. immediate post surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis
6. maintaining or increasing range of motion.
• Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and Interferential Current Therapy (Interferential,
Premodulated, High Volt, Microcurrent) for:
Symptomatic relief of chronic intractable and/or management of post-traumatic or post-surgical pain.
DIRECT CURRENT THERAPY:
Direct Current is indicated for relaxation of muscle spasms.
ULTRASOUND THERAPY:
Ultrasound therapy is intended to generate deep heat within body tissues for the treatment of selected medical
conditions such as relief of pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures, but not for the treatment of

Introduction to the
Dynatron Solaris® 700 Series
The Dynatron Solaris 700 Series offers the practitioner a wide range of treatment options.
These devices provide Interferential and Premodulated therapy; High Voltage pulsed
stimulation; Russian and Biphasic therapies; Microcurrent and Direct Current treatments; and
Infrared Light Probe applications. The Solaris 700 Series devices may, with the use of the
Dynatron®Booster Box, operate the Dynatron®Xp™, a powerful 8”X10” Infrared Light Pad.
In addition, the Solaris 701, 708, and 709 include Ultrasound and the Dynatronics
Comboplus™feature providing almost unlimited combinations of treatment options.
The 700 Series devices include the standard advantages of Dynatronics engineering, such as
customizable treatments, electrode conductance meters and the popularTarget feature. In
addition all units offer the option of battery operation, making the devices truly portable. The
manufacturer’s warranty for these devices is two years (see full warranty details at the back
of this manual).
This manual provides operator information and instructions for five Solaris models: the 701,
705, 706, 708, and 709. The section that discusses Ultrasound and Comboplus treatments
applies only to the Dynatron 701, 708 and 709 models. All other sections of this manual
apply to all Dynatron Solaris devices.
