1. The long term effects of prolonged use of electrical stimulation are unknown.
2. Stimulation should not be applied over the neck. Severe spasm of the muscles may occur and the contractions may be strong enough to
close the airway or cause difculty in breathing. Stimulation over the neck could also have adverse effects on the heart rhythm or blood pressure.
3. Stimulation should not be applied over the carotid sinus nerves, particularly in patients with a known sensitivity to the carotid sinus nerve.
4. Stimulation should not be applied transthoracically in that the introduction of electrical current into the heart may cause cardiac arrhythmias.
5. The effects of stimulation of the brain are unknown. Therefore, stimulation should not be applied across the head and electrodes should not be
placed on opposite sides of the head.
6. Stimulation should not be applied transcerebrally.
7. Electrodes should be applied only to normal, intact, clean skin. Electrodes should not be applied over open wounds or over swollen, infected,
or inamed areas or skin eruptions, e.g., phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, etc.
8. Electrodes should not be shared with other persons. Each person should have their own set of electrodes; otherwise, undesirable skin reactions may occur.
9. Self-adhesive electrodes should be replaced if they no longer stick rmly to the skin.
10. Stimulation should not be applied when in the bath or shower.
11. Safety of powered muscle stimulators for use during pregnancy has not been established.
12. Marc Pro Plus should not be used while driving, operating machinery, or during an activity in which involuntary muscle contractions may put the user
at undue risk of injury.

Care of your Marc Pro Plus
Physical Characteristics:
Length 7 inches
Width 4 inches
Height 2 inches
Weight 1 lb 6 oz
Recharging the Battery:
• Before use, be sure that the battery is
charged. After powering on the device
a battery indicator on the LCD screen
will give the current level. If the battery
icon is fully or partially shaded then the
device can be used.
• If the battery icon is empty or ashing,
the device should be charged.
• To charge, plug the recharger into the
back of the unit and into the wall outlet.
Charge for 8-12 hours, or overnight.
• When done recharging always
remember to unplug the recharger
from the back of the machine, if it is left
in, the unit will not work.
• A fully charged battery should last for
10 or more hours of use.
Electrode Use and Care:
• When electrodes (pads) are not in use always place on
plastic sheet and seal in Ziploc bag.
• We recommend that you change pads after 20 uses because
conductivity will decrease due to body oils accumulated on electrodes.
• Old or worn electrodes can also reduce the comfort of stimulation.
• Only use the electrodes supplied by Marc Pro. Other electrodes may
present a risk of unsuitable electrical characteristics with your stimulator.
• Do not use the same electrodes on several different people.
• Do not plunge the electrodes into water.
• Do no apply a solvent of any kind onto the electrodes
• Always stop the stimulator before removing or moving the electrodes.
• Always place electrodes on dry, clean, oil and lotion free skin.
• If you’re using an optional aloe based skin gel: use a small amount (about the
size of a pea) under each electrode. Rub completely into the skin before placing
electrode. This can help ensure the most comfortable and strongest signal.
NOTE: Electrode is 2 inch round with conductive hydrogel w/.08” round female
connector; not to exceed 0.1 Watt/cm2.

Instructions:
Before the unit is used you must make sure that the battery is charged. Take the unit out of the case and hit the power button. The
battery icon on the screen should be partially or fully shaded dark to indicate battery life. If the battery icon is empty of ashing then
recharge the unit (see: charging instructions)
Make sure all knobs are in the off position and that the recharger is unplugged from the back of the machine. Take the gray lead wires
out and plug the plastic end into the channel A output jack. Take the black lead wires out and plug the plastic end into the channel B
output jack.
Take out a package of electrodes, and remove from Ziploc bag. Next connect the 4 pins on the end of the lead wires to each of the four
electrodes. Place the electrodes on the skin according to the diagrams on the following pages. Note: Skin should be clean and dry.
Get into a relaxed and still position (laying down, sitting in a chair or on a couch). You should be comfortable and the muscles being
worked should be free to contract without resistance.
(If you are tense and resist the contractions or if you’re in a position that causes signicant resistance you will not benet from the Marc Pro Plus)
Once the pads are in place, hit the power button at the top of the interface. Next select the frequency for each channel according to
the instructions on the following pages.
Next click on the Channel A and B Intensity knobs and slowly turn up each knob according to your tolerance. The session protocols
on the following pages will give you an ideal setting range for each channel.
-For Low Frequencies:
You will start to feel a gentle rhythmic pulsating sensation that will get stronger and stronger as you turn the dial up. A strong visible
contraction is possible and desirable in most areas of the body. An intensity level between 6-9 is commonly reached, but it is OK to
turn the intensity up slowly. In general the higher the intensity the better the results will be; however, it is very important that the signal
level stay within your tolerance.
(Remember: As long as the intensity is not raised above your tolerance and you don’t resist the contractions, even extremely strong and
visible contractions will not fatigue your muscles. This is ideal for conditioning and is what makes the Marc Pro Plus technology so unique)
-For High Frequencies
You will start to feel a gentle buzzing/vibration that will get stronger as you turn up the dial. An intensity level between 4-9 is commonly
reached, but it is OK to turn the intensity up slowly. In general the buzzing sensation should be felt over your pain level and typically
the higher the intensity the better the results will be. However, it is very important that the signal level stay within your tolerance.
