WARNINGS
Do not use if you have a pacemaker. The electrical signals may cause
the pacer to malfunction, leading to serious injury or death.
Do not use while driving or operating hazardous machinery.
Do not place ear clips or electrodes over skin lesions, new scars, cuts,
eruptions, or sunburn.
All persons who:
a) suffer from any mental disorder or psychiatric illness,
b) are currently using any drugs (prescription or recreational) or
under the influence of alcohol,
c) have serious head injuries, epilepsy, brain tumors, or strokes,
should not use the Oasis Pro unless under the supervision of a qualified
health care provider.
Setting the intensity too high may result in a mild irritation or
blistering of the skin. Set the intensity to a lower level so that the
stimulus is only mildly noticeable. Double-blind studies show that
CES works at sub-threshold (below feeling) level.
The Oasis Pro delivers electrical current through the body and
should be used with care.
NOTICE TO HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS
It is the responsibility of the health care provider to complete a proper intake
addressing these concerns mentioned above. Mind Alive Inc., its employees,
suppliers, and distributors are exempt from any liability of damages resulting
from a condition that may occur from prescribing this device.
THE OASIS PRO IS NOT RECOGNIZED AS A TREATMENT OR
CURE OF ANY MEDICAL CONDITION OR DISABILITY.HOWEVER,
RESEARCH SUGGESTS THAT THE OASIS PRO IS EFFECTIVE FOR
RELAXATION AND RELIEVING DISCOMFORT.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
POWER
The Oasis Pro is powered by a 9-Volt alkaline or rechargeable battery.
To install the battery, slide the cover off the battery compartment on the
back of the unit. Insert a 9-Volt battery as indicated on the diagram in
the battery compartment. Slide the cover back into place. An alkaline 9-
Volt battery will provide approximately 25-30 hours of operation.
TURN ON/TURN OFF
Press and hold the power button ( ) until the power LED turns on. The
graph will display the battery level when you first turn on the unit. If no
session is selected within two (2) minutes, the Oasis Pro will turn off.
To turn off the Oasis Pro at any time, press and hold the power button
( ) until the unit shuts off.
ENDING A SESSION
All sessions end with Soft Off™(a gradual reduction of the CES stimulus).
To end a session early, press and release the power button ( ). The
graph will scroll from 8 to 1 to confirm that Soft Off™is in progress.
PLACEMENT OF ELECTRODES
Remove glasses, earrings, or any other objects near the ears that might
interfere with the ear clips. Plug the CES ear clip stimulus cable into the
CES output jack ( ). To ensure a better electrical connection, wet the
earlobe using tap water, saliva, or a tiny amount of conductive gel before
attaching the ear clips. Attach the black clip to the left ear and the red
clip to the right ear. Once the session begins, the and lights
will flicker to indicate the stimulus is being delivered.

[4]
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BATTERY LEVEL
The battery level is displayed on the graph for a couple of seconds when
the Oasis Pro is first turned on. The battery level will display periodically
while the session is running.
When the battery level is getting low, the graph will display one or two
bars and blink. It is recommended that the battery be replaced before
running a session if this warning is displayed. If this warning occurs
during a session, the session will end early, and the battery indicator will
continue to blink for a short period of time. The battery must be
replaced before the unit can be used again.
SELECTING A SESSION
The Oasis Pro has four (4) standard session groups (20 minutes ,
45 minutes , 3 hours , and Gamma and User Designed ). Each
group offers eight (8) sessions. The session number is lit up on the
numbered bar graph. If no number is lit, then the group has no sessions
programmed into it.
Press and release the power button ( ) to switch between groups. The
lit group icon will change. Press the INT or to highlight a session
number. The frequency and mode icons associated with the session light
up to indicate what frequency range and CES pulse type will be used.
Press the select button ( ) to start the highlighted session. The session
number will flash, and the session will begin after a five (5) second
delay.

[5]
The Oasis Pro will run
with either an Okay or
Excellent connection.
If the connection
displayed is Okay then
the intensity may have
to be turned up higher
before it can be felt or
may not be felt at all.
To get a better connection,
wet your earlobes with tap
water, saliva, or a tiny
amount of conductive gel.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTION TEST
At the start of each session, the Oasis Pro checks for an electrical
connection by entering a test mode. The CES Mode light ( or )
will blink. The graph will display the status of the connection. Once a
connection has been confirmed, the display will go blank or display a
Soft On animation (if resuming or restoring a saved preference). The
intensity may be adjusted as soon as the connection test ends.
No

If the ear clips are disconnected, the Oasis Pro will pause the session and
wait for the ear clips to be reconnected. No Connection (7 and 8
blinking) will display for a couple of seconds, then the graph may scroll
up and down indicating that the unit is
returning the voltage to a safe testing
level; this may take up to 20 seconds
(the and lights may turn on
as well).

[6]
The intensity buttons
are raised to help you
find them easily.
By default, all sessions
have an intensity of
zero and must be
turned up every time.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ADJUSTING INTENSITY
To increase the intensity of the stimulus, press the INT button. To
decrease the intensity, press the INT button. The graph lights 1 to 8
only show an approximate intensity level.
When adjusting intensity, the topmost lit
number will blink.
Set the intensity so that it can just barely
be felt. Setting the intensity too high
may result in skin irritation. A higher intensity will not give
better results. A double-blind study showed that CES works at
sub-threshold levels (just below your ability to feel the stimulus).
SAVING PREFERENCES
Use saved preferences with caution. Your preferred intensity setting
for each session can be saved. Adjust the intensity, then press and hold
the Select button ( ) for one (1) second. The graph will display a short
animation. You may continue the session or end it immediately and the
Oasis Pro will save your preferred intensity and use it the next time you
run that session.
Be aware that you may need a different intensity level each time you use
the Oasis Pro, and that different people may use widely different
intensity levels (due to different skin
conductivity). A saved intensity preference
may be too high or too low the next time
you or someone else uses the unit. You may
interrupt the Soft On™process at any time
by pressing either INT or .

[7]
QUICK START
