DYNATRON SOLARIS®PLUS SERIES | SERVICE MANUAL REV. 6 | AUGUST 29, 2017 II
IMPORTANT: Before treating a patient with any Dynatron Solaris Plus® Device, see the “Contraindications, Warnings, and
Precautions” in this manual. Read the operating instructions for each modality carefully.
COMPLIANCE: e contents of this “Instructions For Use” manual are exactly the same in both the printed and electronic forms.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
ELECTROTHERAPY: Electrical muscle stimulation therapy (Russian, Biphasic, High Volt) for:
1. relaxation of muscle spasm;
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 erapy (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
malignancies.
LIGHT THERAPY: Light therapy provides topical heating for temporary increase in blood circulation, temporary relief of
minor muscle and joint aches, pain and stiness, relaxation of muscles, and treatment of muscle spasms and minor pain and
stiness associated with arthritis.
THERMOSTIM: A hand held cutaneous electrode to be used with Dynatronics Solaris devices to apply electrical stimulation
and/or apply heat and cooling to skin.
CAUTION
Federal law restricts these devices for sale by or on the order of a physician, chiropractor, physical therapist, or
dentist licensed by the law of the state in which said person practices to use or order the use of the devices.
Risk of burns and re - Do not use near conductive materials such as metal bed parts, inner spring mattresses
and the like.
DANGER - Explosion Hazard: Do not use in the presence of ammable anesthetics.

INTRODUCTION TO THE DYNATRON SOLARIS® PLUS SERIES
DYNATRON SOLARIS®PLUS SERIES | SERVICE MANUAL REV. 6 | AUGUST 29, 2017 1
Introduction
to the Dynatron
Solaris®Plus Series
e Dynatron Solaris Plus devices are both powerful and versatile. All channels allow fully-independent treatment setups,
oering Interferential, Premodulated, High Volt, Biphasic, Russian, Microcurrent, and xed frequency IFC/Premod. All
units, excluding the 707, also oer Direct Current. In addition, the 708 and 709 include Dynatronics’ Ultrasound Comboplus
feature with the power to deliver up to 5 channels of Stim and Ultrasound—all at the same time. e 708 and 709 Ultrasound
units also oer 1, 2, and 3 MHz frequencies for the greatest exibility in depth of treatment. Choose 1 MHz for deep treatments,
2 MHz for moderate depth, or 3 MHz for supercial depth. All of the Solaris Plus accessories are compatible with all
Solaris Plus devices.

e Solaris Plus Series includes the standard advantages of Dynatronics’ engineering, such as customizable treatments, electrode
conductance meters, and the popular Target touchpad to move the center of interference directly to the site of the patient’s pain.
In addition all units oer the option of battery operation, making the devices truly portable. e manufacturer’s warranty for these
devices is two years (see full warranty details at the back of this manual).
is manual provides operator information and instructions for ve Solaris Plus models: the 705, 706, 707, 708, and 709.
e section that discusses Ultrasound and Combo treatments applies only to the Dynatron 708 and 709 Solaris Plus models.
All other sections of this manual apply to all Dynatron Solaris Plus devices excluding the 707 where special instructions
may apply.
Simplied Setup
e unique design of the Solaris Plus front panel means treatment setup has never been easier. A few simple key presses are
all you need to fully set up a treatment. e User Interface intuitively groups and displays all the options for a modality setup
on the large LCD screen to ensure that treatment parameters can easily be selected and adjusted.
Each modality oers default settings which are automatically preset when the modality is selected—saving time in the treatment
setup. You can change these defaults to match your own most common treatment setups reducing setup time to a matter of seconds.
WARNING: Power-on the device before attaching electrodes to the patient.
