EAR CLIPS OPTION
2.Clean the ear lobes to eliminate skin oils. This will allow for
better conductivity.
a. Insert the pins on the cord into the Ear Clips.
b. Wet the conductive rubber on the Ear Clips with water or
conductive gel.
c. Place one Ear Clip on each ear lobe, positioning the Ear
Clip with the conductive rubber at the back of the ear lobe
and close to the jaw as in image 3.
TURNING THE UNIT ON
3.Turn the unit ON by turning the ON/OFF switch clockwise.
The GREEN light on the end panel will begin to ash
alternately once every second, indicating the unit is in Mode 1. If the lights do not
come on, the battery may not be properly connected.
4.Gradually turn up the intensity to a comfortable level. The intensity should be
comfortable. See ‘How It Should Feel’ on page 6.
5.Place the unit in a pocket.
6.Change Modes by pushing the Mode Select button. The table below indicates how to
identify each Mode. For more information on the Modes, see ‘Output of Six Modes’
on page 8.

MODE INDICATED BY
MODE 1 GREEN light ashes once (1) per second.
MODE 2 GREEN light ashes twice (2) times per second.
MODE 3 GREEN light ashes three (3) times per second.

7.After the 20-minute timed session, the unit will automatically cycle into Sleep Mode
and both the GREEN and the RED lights will stop ashing and come on steady.
8.While in Sleep Mode the battery is still being used.
a. To turn the unit OFF, rotate the ON/OFF switch counter clockwise until it clicks.
Do not force the ON/OFF switch past its natural stopping point.
b. To continue with another session, turn the unit ON again and choose your desired
Mode. Before starting a second timed cycle, wet the cotton sleeves again.
Notes:
Headset and Ear Clips: The Headset and the Ear Clips may feel more comfortable
with the use of either conductive gel or aloe
vera gel rather than water. Over time, the
Ear Clips may lose their conductivity and
will need to be replaced.
Changing Modes: When the Mode is
changed during a timed session, the timing
starts again for a new 20 minute session.
Care of Bio Tuner Cord and Ear Clips:
Occasionally, remove the conductive rubber
from the Ear Clips to clean in a mild soap
solution. Rinse thoroughly. If necessary,
gently wipe the metal pins of the Bio Tuner
Cord.
Low Battery Warning: The RED light comes
on when the battery is low. This means the
battery will soon need to be replaced.
HOW IT SHOULD FEEL
1. The sensation is a pleasant buzzing. It is not necessary to turn the control up to an
uncomfortable level. If it feels prickly or unpleasant, check the following:
HEADSET OPTION
a. Wet the cotton sleeves again.
b. Apply conductive gel or aloe vera gel to the hollow behind the ears.

The Bio Tuner Model BT6pro Manual
CONDUCTIVE PADS OPTION
a. Clean the area behind the ears again.
b. Replace the Conductive Pads.
EAR CLIPS OPTION
a. Wet the conductive rubber of the Ear Clips again.
b. Apply conductive gel or aloe vera gel to the ear lobes.
c. Clean the Conductive Rubber Electrodes.
d.Replace the Conductive Rubber Electrodes.
2. With repeated use, the buzzing sensation may not be felt as much. The intensity
may be turned up if desired.
3. You may feel a sensation on one side more than the other.
4. In rare instances, some individuals may not feel the current.
TYPICAL USE
Length of Session: One cycle is timed for approximately 20-minutes. One session
can be 20 to 40 minutes (1 to 2 cycles).
Information indicates that if used longer than 40 minutes per session, the benets
may be reduced. The unit can be used for up to three 40-minute sessions per day—
space the sessions throughout the day.
Length of Use: The unit should be used daily, at least 2 sessions per day, for a
minimum of 4 weeks or longer. After the benets have been achieved, simply use the
unit as needed.
Intensity Level: The intensity should always be set to a comfortable level. Be sure to
reduce the intensity before changing modes. After the new mode is selected, readjust
the intensity.
With Extended Use: It is recommended to vary the Mode from time to time.
Sensitive Skin: During the rst weeks of use, the skin may become irritated when
using the Ear Clip Option. Over time, irritation usually decreases or disappears.
Apply a healing lotion after use if the ear lobes become red or irritated.
Drink plenty of water: It’s important to drink enough water when using the unit.
Drinking ozonated water is especially helpful.
Stop Gradually: Reduce the amount of time each day for the last week of use.

Electrode into place.
OUTPUT OF SIX MODES
The Bio Tuner provides six different Modes with which to experiment and discover
what feels or works best. Try different Modes to determine which feels most
comfortable. With extended use, it is recommended to vary the Mode from time to
time, as your body can become acclimatized.
One Mode is not considered more benecial than another.
In all Modes, the base frequency of 1,000 Hz pulse-modulated by 111.11 Hz is present.
Modes 4, 5, and 6 may have a more gentle feel.

ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
POWER REQUIREMENTS
Use a 9–Volt Alkaline battery for proper operation.
OPTIONAL POWER INPUT
The Bio Tuner can also be operated using NiMH rechargeable batteries. When
purchasing rechargeable batteries, it is suggested to take the unit with you to ensure
the batteries will t the enclosure.
OUTPUT SPECIFICATIONS
Maximum <1.5mA Peak ~40 Volts Peak-Peak into typical 4k ohm load. Minimum
<~10uA, 10 Volt Peak-Peak at lowest setting. Output impedance ~20k ohm.
1,000 Hz (+/- 1%) pulse-modulated by 111.11 Hz (+/- 1%). Waveforms are Quartz
Crystal-Controlled for precise frequency output. There is also a broad range of
harmonic frequencies delivered in each pulse as observed on a frequency domain
spectrum analyzer.
Pulses are an alternating current (AC) output with no direct current (DC) or offset
bias. Output is transformer coupled so that no DC can appear at electrodes.
