COIL CARE
Getting the most out of Micro-Pulse Technology
•ALWAYS check your coil function with the hexagonal coil tester
•Do not pull on or yank or sharply or bend the coil cables
•Make sure the coils are always firmly plugged in
•Test the coils before every use (listen for clicks)
•Replace coils when they become defective

Flashing RED LED:
The Red LED will flash if you are doing something wrong.
This is the C5 (or B5) preventing you from overheating the device.
To prevent damage and to get the most out of your C5:
•Always keep all coils firmly and fully plugged in (you can use fewer than 4 coils)
•Check coils often, listen for clicks, and use the hexagonal coil tester
•Don’t run on full power and maximum frequency for long periods
•Do not cover the C5 with blankets or pillows
(you can cover the coils, but not the device itself)

•Once the C5 is in RUN mode, the buttons can no longer be used to change the
protocol settings.
•This is to assure that settings do not inadvertently change while the system is
operating.
•While operating, the green LED will flash or toggle ON/OFF for every pulse.
•The user interface buttons have different functions when the C5 is RUNNING.
•The initial RUN screen looks like this if you
happen to have selected the A9 protocol
at intensity level = 9:

•Once RUNNING, you can press the YELLOW
(UP) button to view the internal voltages and
temperatures as shown to the left.
•You may have to PRESS and HOLD the YELLOW
button for one second or longer for this screen
to come up.
•The voltage and temperature for each of the
four channels is shown on each line.
•This is only a snapshot. The numbers do not
update continuously. You must press the
YELLOW button again to see the numbers
update.
•Temperature is in degrees Fahrenheit, accurate
only to +/- 4 F

•Once RUNNING, press the BLUE (DOWN) button to view the
status of the coils. Four possible status indicators are shown:
“OK” “Short” “No Coil” “Over Temp”
•You may have to PRESS and HOLD the BLUE button for one
second or longer for this screen to come up.
•Here are the possible indications:
•OK - this is what you should see most of the time. It means
everything is OK.
•Short - this usually means your coil is not pushed in far enough.
Push it in.
•No Coil - this usually means you do not have a coil plugged in, or a
wire is broken.
•Over Temp –This means the system thinks the internal
temperature is getting too high
•If the temperature is persistently too high, the C5 will warn you
with a new screen, then it will flash the RED LED. Eventually the
system will shut down the output power in an attempt to prevent
damage. If you see this, try reducing the frequency or intensity.

WHAT TO DO IF THE RED LED COMES ON
•If the red LED flashes very briefly, less than one second, that
just means the system is changing modes within a protocol.
This is nothing to worry about.
•If the red LED comes on for a second or two, that means the
system has detected a potential OVER TEMPERATURE
condition. It may correct itself, or you may need to reduce
the frequency or intensity of your protocol.
•If the red LED comes on and stays on, that means a CRITICAL
OVER TEMPERATURE condition has been detected. Your
system is definitely running too hot and it has decided to shut
down. You may see a warning screen. You should turn the
power OFF. Check the coils: be sure they are plugged in all
the way. A slightly pulled out coil may cause a short.
•The system may automatically adjust your intensity (power
level) down to a safe level, usually level 9.

“WHY CAN’T I JUST RUN THE C5 AT FULL
SPEED AND FULL POWER WITH MAXIMAL
LOAD ALL THE TIME?”
•Many very good products require common sense and self
control, for example: a car, a stove, etc.
•The C5 is a scientific instrument. It has not been “child-
proofed”. It tries to keep you safe and prevent you from
destroying it, but remember that you purchased the C5
under the condition that you were to act like a responsible
adult. Avoid the temptation to think that more power =
more effectiveness.
•There is no scientific or rational basis to think that MORE
POWER makes PEMF work better. When properly designed,
PEMF works best at very low power.
•If the C5 tells you it is in the danger zone, then it is too
much. Tone it down a bit by reducing the power level.
