Background:
The Harmonizer is based on extensive ‘electro-stimulation’research and technology that has existed for over
a century. Today electro-stimulation is being used in Europe and North America to treat drug addictions,
depression, anxiety, and insomnia, post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD), and even pain. The devices used
for these treatments are referred to as Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) or ElectroSleep devices.
Based on ‘electro-stimulation’research, the Harmonizer has been designed to aid in meditation, relaxation,
restfulness, stress relief, concentration, managing circular thoughts, and mood brightening.

Getting Started:
Step 1:
Ensure that the battery in the Harmonizer is fully charged before
using
Before using the device for the first time, charge the device for at
least 15 hours
DO NOT use your Harmonizer while it is charging
Step 2:
Select the desired stimulation waveform BEFORE turning on the device.
This is done by moving the toggle switch to the following settings:
o“Relief”
o“Relaxation”
o“Standard/Meditation”
Your selection is based on your
need
oSee Pages 4 –5 for the
appropriate setting(s) for your
desired therapy outcome
LED lights on the front of the device show the mode you have selected (i.e. waveform)
oThese lights also show whether the device is properly connected to your ears.
DO NOT change your selection (toggle switch) during your session –it will have no effect.
oStay with the selected stimulation mode (waveform) you start with, or turn the harmonizer
off and start again.
Step 3:
Now, apply a tiny blob of gel to your earlobes and each ear clip (bulbous side as shown in image below)
Connect the clips to your earlobes
Spreading the blob of gel on your earlobes a little helps to ensure that you have good contact.
oThis will improve conductivity over the stimulation contact area
oFailure to use conductive gel can result in earlobe irritation/poor contact
oAfter use, clean ear clip with a tissue - wash with warm water every few days of use.

Step 4:
You are now ready to start your session
Turn on the device (On/Off/Intensity Switch)
Turn this knob clockwise to increase signal strength
oStop turning knob when you feel the
‘prickly’ sensation on your ear lobes
oNow, turn down the intensity so you barely
feel this sensation
oNOTE: the Harmonizer is just as effective
when the setting is below the point of barely
feeling the ‘prickly’ sensation.
The idea of “No Pain No Gain” is completely false!!
Barely feeling the electrical signal –this is the best signal strength for best results
Your Harmonizer will turn off automatically after 20 minutes –Session is Finished.
oAt this time, you will no longer feel the signal
oLED lights will flash every 10 seconds for a few minutes, and then turn off
oTurn the “On/Off” knob to off (click sound) to make sure the Harmonizer is off
Important Safety Issues & Cautions:
1. DO NOT charge the battery while using the Harmonizer.
2. DO NOT change your selection (toggle switch) during your session
Rather, turn of the device and start again –go back to ‘step 2’
3. DO NOT operate heavy equipment for an hour after use
The stimulation signal can cause sleepiness and even minor dizziness.
4. If you are on psychiatric drugs, you must consult your doctor before using the Harmonizer.
The stimulation from the Harmonizer can interact with these drugs.
5. DO NOT use the Harmonizer if you have any of the following:
Modern brain shunts, cochlear implants or other cranially located electronic devices
MS or Guillain–Barré Syndrome
These diseases are characterised by a loss electrical insulation around the nerves.
Stimulation by a voltage waveform could make symptoms worse
Before using the Harmonizer –Consult your doctor if any of the above medical issues apply to
you, or if you have neurological or psychological issues, or electronic implants
6. DO NOT use plated electrodes against the skin as this can cause skin issues –only use rubber ear
Only use the rubber tipped ear clips supplied
7. If balance issues occur when using the Harmonizer –stop use immediately and consult your doctor
8. There is the potential for brain polarization –stop use if this occurs and consult your doctor
STOP USING THE HARMONIZER if you have any negative effects –consult your doctor
Not a Medical Device:
The Harmonizer is a consumer oriented relaxation/meditation device and is not a certified Cranial
Electrostimulation (CES) medical device, and we make no medical claims.
The Harmonizer was developed with the intention of being used for research.
Intrinsically Safe:
The Harmonizer matches required electrical safety specifications in USA/Canada.
Transformer in the device is isolated

USING THE HARMONIZER
Our device provides an electrical stimulation signal through your earlobes with a harmonious and
comfortable feeling to help with the likes of meditation, relaxation, sleeplessness, circular thoughts,
concentration or mood brightening. Visit www.harmonizer.ca for more information and discussion by users.
The ‘Standard/Meditation’ setting at 40hz is considered the resonance of a healthy brain; the ‘Relaxation’
setting is the lightest strength signal at 14.3 hz; while the ‘Relief’ setting has the strongest signal at 0.5hz.
How Often Should I Use the Harmonizer?
First time users can benefit from two 20 minute sessions per day for the first 2-3 weeks. After that it may be
used occasionally or daily as needed. Consult a professional therapist or our website for more information.
Getting the Most out of my Harmonizer:
1. Following the above need options is a good place to start. But, you may respond differently to the
various waveform settings –do experiment.
2. Intensity setting is very important. Increase the intensity until pulsing signal on the ears can be gently
felt. It can then be decreased until it is barely perceived or even slightly below perception.
Research has shown that a barely felt signal works extremely well –a strong signal is ineffective
3. Changing the waveform knob once the unit is operational will have no effect.
Session is Finished:
Session is finished when you no longer feel the signal and the lights will flash every 10 seconds for a few
minutes and then stop. Now turn the “On/Off” switch to off.
Safety:
Changing the waveform knob once the unit is operational will have no effect. This is done for safety,
since each waveform has different characteristics and some are stronger than others.
USING THE HARMONIZER TO HELP YOUR NEED
The question is which of the three waveforms: “Relief”, “Relaxation” and/or “Standard/Meditation” would
best suite your needs. It is normal for people to respond differently to these three waveforms, and there may
be a need to experiment with all waveform settings. Do not use the “Relief” setting more than twice per day.
However, the following is intended to give you a sense of which waveforms work best for the average
person’s needs:
Restlessness/Sleeplessness:
The “Standard/Meditation” is a good waveform choice for this need. The 40hz waveform (Gama
Wave) simulates the resonance of a healthy brain. Studies show that Gama Wave stimulation will
improve brain activities like lucid dreaming. However, some people find that the “Relief” or
“Relaxation” setting works better for them for this need.
Users find that the “Standard/Meditation” setting before midday. After midday, it’s best to try the
“Relaxation” or “Relief” settings. Do not use the “Relief” setting more than twice per day.
As always, turn on the harmonizer dial to the point where you can just feel the prickle sensation on
your earlobes, and then turn it down to where you barely feel any sensation. Let your body and
mind relax and drift off.
The idea of “No Pain No Gain” is completely false!!
Barely feeling the electrical signal –this is the best signal strength for best results

Relaxation:
The “Relaxation” option is the obvious waveform to use this need. Once selected turn on the
harmonizer to the point you can just feel the “prickle” sensation on your earlobes. Then turn the
intensity knob down to where you basically don’t feel a thing. Now just relax your body and mind.
Meditation:
The “Standard/Meditation” is the obvious waveform selection. Once selected turn on the harmonizer
to the point you can just feel the “prickle” sensation on your earlobes. You can turn the intensity
knob even further, to the point that you don’t feel anything. Now, relax your body and mind.
REMEMBER
The Harmonizer will turn off after 20 minutes –that ends your session
Changing the waveform selection (toggle switch) once the session has begun, has no effect –This is done for safety
Anxiousness:
If you need help with being anxious, trying using the harmonizer a couple times a day initially. You
can use the “Standard/Meditation” waveform to start. As with all sessions, turn the ‘on/off’knob
clockwise until you can just feel the prickle sensation on your earlobes. Then, turn down the
intensity to where you can barely feel the prickle.
Experiment by trying the “Relaxation” or “Relief”waveform settings –see what works best for you.
Depending on your needs, start with two 20 minute sessions per day. You’ll find that you can reduce
this to once per day, every few days, or week. Don’t use the “Relief” option more than twice per day.
Stress Relief:
Although all three waveforms can work for stress relief, “Relaxation” is a good place to start. If the
stress is associated with circular thoughts or worry, then “Standard/Meditation” may be better. The
harmonizer can be used for this purpose once or even twice per day. As you feel improvement, you
can reduce your sessions to once every few days/week.
Turn on the harmonizer to the point you can just feel the “prickle” sensation on your earlobes. Then
turn down the intensity until you barely feel any sensation on your earlobes. Now relax.
REMEMBER
Never operate the Harmonizer without using conductive gel the rubber contact on the ear clips
Concentration:
The choice varies from person to person, but generally the best waveform selection to use is
“Standard/Meditation”. As with all sessions, turn on the harmonizer and turn the “on/orr” knob
clockwise until you just feel the “prickle” sensation on your earlobes. The make sure you turn it
down to where you can literally no longer feel that “prickle” sensation.
Mood Brightening:
Mood brightening can be possible by using the “Standard/Meditation” setting. Once selected, turn
on the harmonizer to the point you can just feel the “prickle” sensation on your earlobes. Then turn
the intensity nob down to you almost feel anything. Now just relax your body and mind.
Circular Thoughts:
Circular thoughts can be controlled by selecting the “Standard/Meditation” option. As mentioned
above, this setting simulates the resonance of a healthy brain, which is at 40 hertz (Gamma Wave).
Turn on the harmonizer to the point you can just feel the “prickle” sensation on your earlobes. Then
turn the intensity nob down to you almost feel anything.

MORE ABOUT YOUR HARMONIZER
Historical Perspective
Cranial electrostimulation has been used successfully for over a century. This technology has been
researched, developed and used in France since 1902 where it is referred to as “ElectroSleep.” Initially
developed to treat insomnia, researchers/therapists found that very low powered electrical signals (less than
1 milliamp) is an effective, yet harmless treatment for depression, anxiety, drug addiction withdrawal, PTSD,
and even pain. During the latter part of the century this stimulation therapy has been developed and used in
the USA, where it’s called Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES).
Research, Design & Development
In developing the Harmonizer, we studied CES devices and various brain stimulation techniques used
worldwide for over 100 years. Based on these studies, and our own development and testing we
incorporated two traditionally used waveforms into our device. However, we have also included 40hz
stimulation based on recent studies; including those by Professor J Allan Hobson of Harvard Medical School
(2014), and neuroscientist Richard Davidson (sanctioned by the Dalai Lama). These and similar studies have
shown that a healthy brain resonates at 40 hertz (Gamma Wave), stimulating brain activities like lucid
dreaming. It has also been shown that an externally applied 40hz signal may help to balance the left and
right brain. See http://www.peakachievement.com/articles/40_Hertz_History.htm
Build in Safety
The Harmonizer has been carefully designed from a safety standpoint, incorporating historical designs used
for a century; matching the electrical specifications for USA FDA approved CES devices and “ElectroSleep”
devices in France. These devices have been used for over 50 years with no known injuries. The Harmonizer
emits a very small electrical pulse (1/1,000th of an amp on average, at 30 volts or less). This is passed through
a transformer so that no DC power is applied.
Not a Medical Device
The Harmonizer has been developed for research and consumptive use, and is not a medical device. As
such, make no medical claims.
Blind Friendly and Easy to Use
We’ve designed it so that it’s easy to use, particularly for the blind. The device has a tactile 3 position toggle
(blind friendly) switch for setting the desired waveform, and an “on/off” knob that is consistent with
standard ‘strength/intensity’ styled switches.
Side Effects and Intensity Control
In a century of use worldwide the “CES” or “Electrosleep” type technology rarely produces any side effects.
Sometimes it can produce a headache in a small (< 0.1%) of users. This can often be eliminated by turning the
stimulation intensity down. In rare cases some people may not be able to use the technology.
In general use the smallest signal that can still be felt will produce no side effects and yet be equally effective
Battery Recharging: The Harmonizer has a rechargeable battery to ensure that good waveforms are not
compromised by bad batteries. The charger is plugged into the hole in the side of the Harmonizer.
CHARGE FOR 15 HOURS –provides for 1- 2 weeks of operation. Weekly charging is recommended.
Battery should have a lifespan of about 5 years.
Battery replacements are available. To replace the battery, simply slide the battery compartment door open
and remove the battery and disconnect battery terminal clip. Attach a fresh rechargeable battery to the
terminal clip and close the door of the battery compartment. Only use a rechargeable battery.
Don’t try to recharge a standard lithium battery –this can be dangerous.
Do not use the device while it is charging!
