practice to use or order the use of the device.
1.3. Indications for use:
This device is used in symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain, post-traumatic and post-surgical pain.
1.4 Warnings:
1.4.1 The long-term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are unknown.
1.4.2 Stimulation should not be applied over the carotid sinus nerves, particularly in patients with a known
sensitivity to the carotid sinus reflex.
1.4.3 Stimulation should not be applied over the neck or mouth. Severe spasm of the laryngeal and pharyngeal
muscles may occur and the contractions may be strong enough to close the airway or cause difficulty in
breathing.
1.4.4 Stimulation should not be applied transthoracically in that the introduction of electrical current into the
heart may cause cardiac arrhythmias.

1.5.7 Isolated cases of skin irritation may occur at the site of the electrode placement following long-term
application.
1.5.8 Effectiveness is highly dependent upon patient selection by a person qualified in the management of pain-
afflicted patients.
1.5.9 If the stimulation levels are uncomfortable or become uncomfortable, reduce the stimulation amplitude to a
comfortable level and contact your physician if problems persist.

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 60 to 250µs) are fully adjustable.
The normal mode is quite versatile because it may be applied with a variety of rate
and width settings.
3.3 Modulation Mode:
Pulse width shows decrease/ increase cycle of variation. For example, if pulse width is
set for the maximum output value (250µs), pulse width will decrease from 250µs to
125µs and then increase back to 250µs again in period of 4 seconds.
The mode switch offers three stimulation modes. The mode switch is located
under the front lid cover and you can shift the "MODE" switch to adjust the
mode.
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
delivered per second.

4.3 Connect lead wires to unit:
Before proceeding to this step, be sure the unit is completely turned OFF. Holding the insulated portion of the lead
wire connector, insert the angled-"L" plug into the receptacle on the top of the main unit. Ensure the lead wires are
inserted correctly. The unit has two output receptacles controlled by Channel 1 and Channel 2 Amplitude Control
knobs at the top of the unit. You may choose to use one channel with one pair of lead wires or both channels with
two pairs of lead wires. Using both channels gives the user the advantage of stimulating two different areas at the
same time.
NOTE: Always read this instruction manual before use.
PREPARATION FOR USE
4.1 Check Battery:
Insert a fresh 9V alkaline or rechargeable battery into the battery compartment. Make
sure you are installing the battery properly. The battery is inserted in the casing on the
foot of the stimulator unit.
BE SURE TO MATCH THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ENDS OF THE BATTERY TO
THE MARKINGS IN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT OF UNIT.
CONNECTING THE STIMULATOR
4.2 Connect electrodes to lead wires:
Insert the lead wire connector into electrodes connector (standard 0.08 inch female
connection). MAKE SURE NO BARE METAL OF THE PINS IS EXPOSED
Caution:
Always use the electrodes with the requirements of the EN60601-1 and EN60601-2, such as with
CE mark, or which are legally marketed in the US under 510(K) procedure.

4.3 Connect lead wires to unit:
Before proceeding to this step, be sure the unit is completely turned OFF. Holding the insulated portion of the lead
wire connector, insert the angled-"L" plug into the receptacle on the top of the main unit. Ensure the lead wires are
inserted correctly. The unit has two output receptacles controlled by Channel 1 and Channel 2 Amplitude Control
knobs at the top of the unit. You may choose to use one channel with one pair of lead wires or both channels with
two pairs of lead wires. Using both channels gives the user the advantage of stimulating two different areas at the
same time.
NOTE: Always read this instruction manual before use.
PREPARATION FOR USE
4.1 Check Battery:
Insert a fresh 9V alkaline or rechargeable battery into the battery compartment. Make
sure you are installing the battery properly. The battery is inserted in the casing on the
foot of the stimulator unit.
BE SURE TO MATCH THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ENDS OF THE BATTERY TO
THE MARKINGS IN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT OF UNIT.
CONNECTING THE STIMULATOR
4.2 Connect electrodes to lead wires:
Insert the lead wire connector into electrodes connector (standard 0.08 inch female
connection). MAKE SURE NO BARE METAL OF THE PINS IS EXPOSED
Caution:
Always use the electrodes with the requirements of the EN60601-1 and EN60601-2, such as with
CE mark, or which are legally marketed in the US under 510(K) procedure.

4.7 Adjust the Frequency:
The frequency is adjustable 2~150Hz.
Turn Frequency Control to adjust Frequency to the setting recommended by your medical
professional.
4.8 Adjust Timer:
The timer is adjustable: 30 minutes, 60 minutes, or Constant.
Shift TIMER switch to set the stimulation time recommended by your physician or therapist.
4.9 Adjust Channel Amplitude:
Turn Channel 1 or 2 clockwise. Slowly turn the Channel control until you reach the setting
recommended by your medical professional. Repeat for the other channel, if both channels
are to be used.
Caution: If the stimulation levels are uncomfortable or become uncomfortable, reduce the stimulation
intensity to a comfortable level and contact your medical practitioner if problems persist.
4.4 Place electrodes on skin:
Apply electrodes to the exact site indicated by your physician, following the instruction
included with the electrodes labeling. Before applying electrodes, be sure the skin surface
over which electrodes are placed is thoroughly cleaned and dried. Make sure the
electrodes are placed firmly to the skin and make good contact between the skin and the
electrodes. Place the electrodes over the skin; attach them properly, firmly, and evenly.

4.13 Care of Electrodes:
To avoid skin irritation and ensure good contact with skin, clean silicone rubber electrodes
with soap and water frequently. The electrodes must be dried completely before using.
✽
If you are using self-adhesive electrodes, disregard this procedure.
✽
Always use the electrodes with the requirements of the EN60601-1 and EN60601-2, such as with
CE
mark, or which are legally marketed in the US under 510(K) procedure.
4.14 Care of Electrode cords:
Clean the electrode cords by wiping them with damp cloth. Coating them lightly with
talcum powder will reduce tangles and prolong the life.
4.10 Turn Unit Off:
Turn both Channel Amplitude controls to off. Unplug the electrode lead wires, grasping
them by the plug, not the cord. If treatment will be resumed shortly, the electrodes may be
left on the skin. When the electrodes are removed, clean the skin thoroughly with mild
soap and water. If there is skin irritation, consult your medical professional.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
4.11 Portability:
Your unit is portable and may be clipped to a belt, shirt pocket, bra, or other clothing.
4.12 Battery:
To replace the battery, open the lid cover and extract the battery. Replace it with a 9 V
alkaline or similar rechargeable battery. Make sure you insert the battery correctly.
