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.

Installation and Features
Unpacking
When you receive the unit, immediately unpack it and all accessories and check for possible damage, obvious or concealed.
In case of damage, immediately notify the freight carrier and take any steps necessary to le a claim for the damage sustained.
Do not destroy or discard the shipping carton. e carton should be reused if the device must be shipped for any reason,
including calibration. e carton is specially designed to protect the unit from shipping damage. Improper packaging of the
unit during transport can result in damage and invalidate the warranty.
Complete the warranty registration form located at the back of this manual and return it to Dynatronics within 30 days
of purchase. is is essential to insure you are not billed for services that are covered by the warranty policy. Warranty
registration should include serial numbers for both the device, probe, pads, and soundheads.
Connect the AC power cord, which is provided as a hospital grade, UL listed, plug to a properly grounded 110/120V 60 Hz
AC outlet. e device will automatically switch to 220/240V 50 Hz when connected to a power source with that voltage. e
power cord must also be rmly plugged into the device itself. When the cord is properly connected, it cannot be easily pulled
out. Do not place the cord or the device in a place where the cord could be tripped over or accidentally pulled out of its socket
during a treatment.
Read the operating instructions in this manual before proceeding with a treatment.
If Tri-Wave Light erapy Probe, Pads, or a ermoStim Probe are being used in conjunction with a Solaris Plus
device, they should be plugged into the Solaris Plus console prior to powering-on the device.

Light and Microcurrent Probe treatments may also be paused by pressing the 1/0 (ON/OFF) key located on the
probe handle(s).
4. FUNCTION: is key is used to access unique features for High Volt, Ultrasound, Combo treatments and for
entering soundhead parameters. e FUNCTION key is also used in conjunction with the STOP key to stop only
a treatment in focus. In addition, the FUNCTION KEY provides access to settings for STIM, LANGUAGE, LEAD
TESTS AND SYSTEM INFORMATION. Specic instructions for using this key are provided later in the manual as
they apply to each function or modality.
5. TREATMENT DISPLAY SCREEN: Located in the upper center of the USER INTERFACE, the TREATMENT
DISPLAY SCREEN allows the clinician to view all of the parameters of the focus treatment such as time, intensity,
frequency, duty cycle, contraction rest, ramp time, polarity, or any other setting applicable to a treatment at a glance.
In addition, the screen lists all active modalities not in focus along with their active channels and remaining treatment
times in small font under the heading RUNNING TREATMENTS. If an error occurs during treatment, an error message
will appear on the Treatment Display Screen identifying the treatment modality that triggered the error message.
6. ARROW KEYS: e UP/DOWN arrow keys are used to increase/decrease the treatment time or other parameters
that appear on the TREATMENT DISPLAY SCREEN directly next to the arrow keys being used.
7. MODALITY KEYS: e Solaris Plus Series devices have all or a combination of 11 treatment modality options: IFC,
Premod, Light Probe, Light Pad, Ultrasound, Combo, Biphasic, Russian, High Volt, Microcurrent, and Direct Current.
MODALITY KEYS appear at the bottom of the USER INTERFACE. Pressing any of the available MODALITY KEYS
will bring the selected modality into focus and the default parameters for that treatment modality will be displayed.
Treatment modality parameters may be customized once the treatment is in focus.
8. TREATMENT WINDOWS: Across the bottom of the TREATMENT DISPLAY SCREEN are ve smaller treatment
windows providing treatment options and parameters that are unique to each modality. e quick access and
visibility of these TREATMENT WINDOWS allow for quick, easy, and accurate setup. On the following pages are
illustrations of each modality’s TREATMENT WINDOWS and their associated default settings.
Note: High Volt, Sound, and Combo treatments all have a secondary set of TREATMENT WINDOWS and treatment
options that are accessed when the treatment is in focus and the FUNCTION key is pressed. e arrow between the
two boxes indicates the secondary treatment window.

9. TREATMENT WINDOW TOGGLE KEYS: TOGGLE KEYS are located below the ve TREATMENT WINDOWS.
Pressing the Toggle Key directly below a window allows one to choose an output channel, and select treatment
parameters for the treatment in focus. A treatment is in focus when the name of the treatment appears in the center
of the TREATMENT DISPLAY SCREEN and the name of the modality is highlighted green in the channels window.
10. CHANNELS WINDOW / CHANGING THE FOCUS TREATMENT
One of ve TREATMENT WINDOWS, this window lists the available channels/jacks: 1,2,3,4, HV (High Volt, Probe
(MultiStim), Sound, LT Pad or LT PD1(2) indicates Light Pad, and LT Probe or LT PB1(2) Light Probe. Some
treatment jacks do not appear in the CHANNELS window until the accessory device is inserted into the Solaris Plus
console, for example Light Probe, Light Pad, ermoStim, and Sound.
e Channel Number/Indicator lights in the CHANNELS window identify which output channels/jacks are
currently in use. e channel(s)/jack illuminated in GREEN indicates the focus treatment and the time, intensity,
and other treatment parameters for that active treatment appear on the Treatment Display Screen. A Channel/
Indicator illuminated in YELLOW identies a channel/treatment is in use and delivering current, but is not in
focus. e intensity, and treatment parameters are not displayed at this time (only one channel’s parameters may
be displayed at a time). A treatment’s parameters may only be modied when the treatment is brought into focus.
To bring a treatment into focus, press the CHANNELS TOGGLE key below the CHANNELS window to select a
channel to be brought into focus. When the channel is in focus, the name will be illuminated GREEN. If a treatment
that is active but not the focus treatment times-out, the text in the CHANNELS window will change from YELLOW
to WHITE. A channel running in the background will change from YELLOW to ORANGE when the stim output is
in “rest” mode (Russian or Biphasic).
11. TARGET PAD: e Solaris Plus TARGET feature is engineered to precisely pinpoint a patient’s pain. As the nger
is glided across the TARGET touchpad, the patient identies the point of greatest pain. When the TARGET point is
identied, the nger is lied from the Target Pad and the selected TARGET is locked in place. TARGET is available
with Interferential or any four pad stim treatment.

12. CONDUCTANCE/TEMPERATURE BAR
Conductance.
e Solaris Plus devices continuously measure conductance during electrical Stim treatments for Interferential,
Premod, and Microcurrent to ensure that the treatment outcome is optimal and to minimize the possibility of
patient discomfort due to poor conductance and/or changes in current density. As conductance is measured, Solaris
Plus displays the results in graph form on the CONDUCTANCE bar located on the right side of the TREATMENT
DISPLAY SCREEN. Optimum conductance is displayed as the conductance bar ows RED - YELLOW- GREEN.
GREEN indicating the best CONDUCTANCE. If the green bar only partially lls the graph area, the conductance
is at a percentage of optimum. Lower INTENSITY may cause the bar to partially ll, but does not mean that the
treatment is not eective. Below are some helpful denitions.
Conductance and Worn Electrodes.
Conductance is how readily electrical current is passed from the electrode to the skin surface during a treatment.
Conductance aects current density. A worn electrode that does not conduct the current evenly over its entire
surface will have “hot spots” where a greater amount of current ows through a smaller area which means the
current density is higher at that point than elsewhere on the electrode. “Hot Spots” can lead to patient discomfort.
Never risk patient comfort by using worn electrodes or lead wires.
Intensity.
e intensity level is a convenient incremental measurement. However, raising the intensity increases the current
delivered to the patient but does not improve conductance.
Current Density.
Current density is the amount of current that passes through a given area of the electrode. Current density varies
depending on the size of the electrode, the conductance, and intensity setting; and has an eect on patient comfort.
With proper setup and good accessories, current is dispersed evenly over the entire surface of the electrode. e
smaller the electrode, the greater the density of the current delivered through the area. To reduce current density and
improve patient comfort, use larger electrodes, or lower the intensity setting, or both.
During a Microcurrent probe treatment, the graph is also useful in observing conductance changes since the goal of
some Microcurrent treatments is to increase conductance (reduce resistance/impedance) at a given point.
If the number of green displayed segments begin to decrease on the graph during a treatment, it is important to
determine the cause of the poor conductance. Remember with poor conductance you may inadvertently increase
current density at a small point under the electrode and cause patient discomfort. Following are some considerations
to insure proper conductance.
• Check to be sure electrodes are not worn or that self-adhesive electrodes have not lost their adhesiveness. ese
are the most common causes of poor current delivery. Both self-adhesive and carbon electrodes eventually lose
their ability to conduct current eectively. See “Electrotherapy Usage Cautions” in this manual for recommended
intensity settings and usage limits.
• Check to ensure the entire surface of the poly adhesive electrode is adhering.
• Self-adhesive electrodes do not require sterilization, however, electrodes should be clean and hydrated (see
package instructions or “Self-Adhesive Electrodes” section of this manual).
