INTRODUCTION
Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your health team. The Bio-Tuner is a
consumer product designed to complement a healthy lifestyle.
This unit outputs a modified rectilinear waveform to produce over 500
harmonic frequencies in each pulse.
Please understand that results will vary. Healthy lifestyle choices are
important.
Please read this manual carefully. We encourage you to become better
informed about the use of harmonics.
To learn more about the Bio-Tuner we invite you to visit

As with all electrical products do not use:
a. Near water
b. When driving a car or
c. When operating heavy equipment
OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS
GETTING STARTED
1. Place the 9-Volt Alkaline battery in the unit.
a. On the back of the unit, slide off the battery cover.
b. Position the 9-VoltAlkaline battery so the the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminals line up as in the diagram.
Note: the smaller circle on
the battery matches the
smaller circle in the case.
… the larger battery circle
matches the larger circle in
the case.
c. Slide the 9-Volt Alkaline
battery into the case and
push down. Slide the cover
back onto the unit.
2. Turn the unit ON by rotating the
thumbwheel switch clockwise.
3. All the lights will flash once to
indicate the unit is ready for use. If
the lights do not come on, the
battery may not be placed correctly.
4. When the unit is turned on it always
starts in Mode 1.
5. The green light for Mode 1 will remain
on indicating the timing sequence
has begun.
6. Turn the unit OFF by rotating the
thumbwheel switch until it clicks.
Important: Do not force the ON-OFF
Thumbwheel Switch past its natural
stopping point.

should not be uncomfortable. See ‘How It Should Feel’ on page 8.
8. Change modes by pushing the mode button. The green light indicates
which mode is selected. See ‘Output of
Six Modes’ on page 9.
9. The timer will automatically cycle the unit
into Sleep Mode after 20 minutes. While
in Sleep Mode, the green mode light will
flash every 2 seconds.
10. While in Sleep Mode the battery is still
being used. Either reset to continue or
turn the unit OFF.
To reset:
a. Push the mode button once for
another 20 minutes using the same mode, or
b. Choose another mode by selecting with the mode button.
HOW TO USE THE BIO-TUNER
1. Wipe the ear lobes to eliminate skin oils. This will allow
for better conductivity.
2. Wet the conductive rubber on the ear clips.
3. Position one clip on each ear lobe. Place as close to the
jaw as possible.
4. Plug the earclip cord into the unit with the flat side of the
plug face up. When the plug is positioned correctly, it will
slide in gently. Do not force.
5. Slide the clip on the back of the Bio-Tuner into the holding
clip on the Arm Clip
and Band.
6. Slide the Arm Clip and Band with
the unit attached up the arm to a
comfortable position.
Tighten the Arm Clip and Band to fit
snugly and comfortably.
Option: If preferred, the unit can be
placed in a pocket.
7. Turn the unit ON and gradually turn
up the intensity. The current may or
may not be felt. If felt, the intensity
Note: The yellow light can be used to check the output of the unit if the current
cannot be felt. The light should come on when the unit is on and the earclips
positioned correctly. The unit may need to be turned up to a higher intensity for
the light to come on. It is not necessary, however, to operate the unit at a high
intensity.

• The sensation may be a pleasant buzzing or you may not feel the current at
all. It is not necessary to have the intensity turned up to maximum. If it feels
prickly or unpleasant, check the following:
a. Wet the conductive rubber of the ear clips again.
b. Apply conductive gel to the conductive rubber of the earclips.
• You may feel a sensation on one side more than the other.
• With repeated use, the buzzing sensation may not be felt as much. The
intensity may be turned up if desired. It is not necessary to feel the current.
The yellow light is the indicator to know the unit and ear clips are working.
HOW IT SHOULD FEEL:
TYPICAL USE:
Length of session: Limit each session to a maximum of 40 minutes. (Two
timed 20 minute cycles.) Research indicated that if used longer than 40
minutes at a session, the benefits are reduced.
Drink plenty of water: It is important to drink several glasses of water daily
while using the Bio-Tuner.
Sensitive skin: Apply a healing lotion after use if the ear lobes become red or
irritated.
Length of use: Unit should be used daily for at least four weeks.
Maintenance schedule: Ongoing use may be beneficial. Suggestions for a
maintenance schedule are 30 days every few months or a few days each
month.

The 6 different modes simply offer a choice to experiment as to what feels or
works best. In all modes, the base frequency of 1,000 Hz pulse-modulated by
111.11 Hz is present.

ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
• Maximum <1.5mA Peak ~40 Volts Peak-Peak into typical 4k ohm load.
Minimum <~10 microamperes, 10 Volt Peak-Peak at lowest setting.
Output impedance ~20k ohm.
• Modified rectilinear wave with rapid rise time (under 1uS). There are over
500 harmonic frequencies delivered in each pulse as observed on a
frequency domain (not time domain) spectrum analyzer.
• 1,000 Hz Squarewave (+/- 1%) pulse-modulated by 111.11 Hz (+/- 1%)
Squarewave. Waveforms are Quartz Crystal-Controlled for precise
frequency output.
• Pulses are Bi-Phasic (AC) with no direct current (DC) or offset bias.
Output is transformer coupled so that no DC can appear at electrodes.
The algebraic sum of positive and negative-going pulses is zero.
One 9-Volt Alkaline battery.
Note: An Alkaline battery must be used for the unit to work properly.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
If the green mode light does not come on, replace the 9-Volt Alkaline
battery and turn the unit ON. If the problem persists, first check to be sure the
battery has been placed correctly. For repair information, see page 12.
If the yellow light does not come on when the earclip electrodes are
touched together, check as follows:
1. Ensure the conductive rubber electrodes are clean:
a. Remove the earclips from the cord.
b. Pull the rubber electrodes out of the earclips and clean with a soft cloth
and toothpick or similar object.
c. Place back into earclips.
d. Ensure the pin on the cord is fully inserted into the earclip.
2. Plug the earclip cord into the unit.
3. Turn the unit ON to maximum intensity and touch the electrodes together.
The yellow light should come on.
If the yellow light still does not come on, see page 12 for repair information.
SUMMARY OF LIGHTS:
GREEN lights: Indicate which mode is selected.
RED light: Indicates the battery is low and will soon need replacing.
YELLOW light: Indicates current is flowing.
CAUTIONS
Do not use in the following situations as safety has not been explored:
•In the case of pregnancy, nursing or trying to get pregnant.
•With a pacemaker or other active implanted device.
•With seizures or psychotic conditions.
