An important note about the cables
To extend the life of your product and reduce the possibility of
product failure, we advise using care when handling the cables for this
product. By following these suggestions you may significantly extend the
product’s life and reduce the need for repairs:
1. Do not wrap cables tightly around the product. Coil the wires and
use a twist tie.
2. Do not pull or stretch the cables.
3. Do not step or walk on the wires that are lying on the floor.
4. If the lengths seem too long, coil the excess and wrap with a
rubber band or twist tie to prevent from dragging on the floor.

To start the alternating tones and tactile, move the mode switch
to the start position. To pause in between sets, stop the alter-
nations by moving the mode switch back to the center (stop)
position. If the power switch is turned off, the audio mode will
return to the default "tones" mode when turned back on.
Hold the gray pulser in your left hand and the black
pulser in your right hand. The gray pulser pulses with the left
light and tone, and the black pulser pulses with the right light
and tone.
If the Tac/AudioScan doesn't work, verify that the bat-
tery is inserted correctly. Follow the label illustration inside the
battery compartment for correct battery orientation.
Hint: When using an external audio source containing
a speaking voice, turn the base adjustment on your audio source
to the full minimum setting for best sound quality.
