DO NOT USE
1.In the following situations as safety has not been explored using the Micropulsing
function:
a. In the case of pregnancy.
b. With an active implanted device such as a pacemaker, etc.
2.As with all electrical products do not use near water, when driving a car or when
operating heavy equipment.
MICROPULSING CAUTIONS
1.Do not place the Micropulsing Probes over skin lesions, abrasions, new scars, cuts,
eruptions or sunburn.
2.Discontinue use if the Micropulsing suddenly feels different or prickly and the
YELLOW light stops ashing. Turn the unit OFF and contact SOTA.
3.Caution is advised if using potentially harmful substances such as recreational and
prescription drugs, as it is not known if microcurrents will interact or if individual
reactions may occur.

The Silver Pulser Model SP5 Manual
4.Caution is required in the following situations as a burn may occur, which could
scar:
a. Do not apply the bare metal pins to the skin.
b. Allowing the Cotton Sleeves to dry out while Micropulsing.
c. Sleeping while Micropulsing, as the Cotton Sleeves may dry out.
IONIC~COLLOIDAL SILVER CAUTIONS
1.We recommend taking occasional breaks from consuming Ionic~Colloidal Silver for
the following two reasons:
a. Growth of healthy bacteria in the gut may be slowed. It may be wise to
supplement with a probiotic (friendly bacteria) to replenish the gut from time to
time.
b. A handful of people have experienced argyria after drinking large amounts of
Ionic~Colloidal Silver daily, over a long period of time. Argyria is a bluish tinge
of the skin. This occurs when excess silver is eliminated through the skin and
exposed to light. Darkening of the moons of the nger nails is usually an early
sign.
The risk of argyria is considered greater for those who are ingesting incorrectly
made Ionic~Colloidal Silver and to a lesser degree, those who are decient in
selenium or vitamin E.
When making and drinking Ionic~Colloidal Silver as currently recommended by
SOTA, the risk of argyria is extremely rare. Please see www.sota.com/manuals.
GENERAL CAUTION
While this technology is generally considered safe, there exists potential for rare
individual reactions that cannot reasonably be foreseen. Therefore, your use of the
SOTA Products constitutes your agreement that you are responsible for your decision
to use the technology.

ATTACHING THE RUBBER PROBES
1.With the Rubber Probes Option:
Attach the Conductive Rubber Probes to the
Micropulsing Cord by gently sliding the Rubber
Probes over the metal pins on the Micropulsing Cord,
as in image 1.
Note: Except to occasionally clean them, the Rubber
Probes can stay on the Micropulsing Cord between
uses.
HOW TO USE THE MICROPULSING FUNCTION
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-Volt Alkaline battery so the
positive (+) and negative (-) terminals line
up as in image 2.
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. Clean the wrist area to remove oils from the skin. This
will allow for better conductivity.
3. Insert the Micropulsing Cord into the jack on the unit as
shown in image 3. The indented square on the DIN plug
should be facing up. When the plug is positioned correctly,
it will slide in gently. Do not force.

5.Slide the Arm Band, with the unit and cord, up the
arm to a comfortable position. Tighten the band to
secure it in place as in image 5.
Option: If preferred the unit can be placed in a
pocket. A longer Micropulsing Cord is needed for
this option.
6.Put the Wrist Strap on with the Velcro®side of the
Wrist Strap face-out rather than towards the skin.
7.Prepare one pair of Cotton Sleeves. Each Cotton Sleeve is
sewn on three sides; to nd the open end of the Cotton
Sleeve, squeeze the long sides of the sleeve and the
unsewn end will pop open.
8.Attach one Cotton Sleeve to the Wrist Strap in line with
the pulse point on the thumb side of the wrist. The
open end of the Cotton Sleeve will point down toward
the elbow. Press the sleeve to the Wrist Strap to rmly
adhere the sleeve in place.
9.Place the other Cotton Sleeve, again with the open side
towards the elbow, in line with the pulse point on the little nger side of the wrist.
This pulse point is usually harder to feel. It is located in the soft hollow on the wrist,
in line with the little nger. Press the sleeve to the Wrist Strap to rmly adhere the
sleeve in place. See image 6.
Once in place, the Velcro®will hold the Cotton Sleeves in the
right position for repeated use.
10. Take the Wrist Strap off.
11. Insert one probe from the Micropulsing Cord into each of
the Cotton Sleeves. Use a gentle twisting motion to work the
robes into the Cotton Sleeves.
12. Wet the Cotton Sleeves with water.
13. Put the Wrist Strap on so the damp Cotton Sleeves are
against the skin over the pulse points. See image 7 on page 8.
14. Turn the unit ON by rotating the ON/OFF switch

The Silver Pulser Model SP5 Manual
clockwise. Turn the switch slowly until you feel the current.
If you do not feel the current, see Notes on page 8.
a. The GREEN light indicates the unit is ON. If the light
does not come on, the battery may not be placed correctly.
b. The ashing YELLOW light should come on and get
brighter as the intensity is turned up. If the ashing YELLOW
light does not come on, the electrical path has not been
established. See Troubleshooting on page 14.
15. When nished, turn the unit OFF by rotating the ON/
OFF switch counter clockwise until it clicks. Do not force the
ON/OFF switch past its natural stopping point.
16.Unplug the Micropulsing Cord. Do not store the unit with the Micropulsing Cord
plugged in as this can damage the Cord.
17.The Cotton Sleeves will remain correctly positioned for the next session.
18.Clean the wrist and apply a healing lotion to
avoid irritation.
Notes:
Suggestions for Feeling the Current: If the
current is not felt with wet Cotton Sleeves,
prepare a mild salt solution to wet the sleeves.
Add a few grains of salt to the water in the 50
ml dropper bottle. Alternatively, a conductive
gel or aloe vera gel may be used instead of a salt
solution. Drink enough water to keep the body
well hydrated. The level of hydration may affect
sensitivity.
Care of Micropulsing Cord and Rubber Probes:
Remove the Rubber Probes occasionally to clean
in a mild soap solution. Rinse thoroughly. If necessary, gently wipe the metal pins
of the Micropulsing Cord.
Care of Micropulsing Cord with Silver Probes: Discoloration of probes is normal.
Buff occasionally to remove stains to ensure good electrical contact.

The Silver Pulser Model SP5 Manual
Care of Cotton Sleeves: Wash or rinse sleeves occasionally. Discard and replace
Cotton Sleeves periodically.
Alternatives to Cotton Sleeves: The following items can be used in place of the
Cotton Sleeves with Velcro®:
a. All Cotton Sleeves: SOTA also offers Cotton Sleeves without Velcro®.
b. Unbleached Paper Towel: Cut a small square of paper towel large enough to wrap
around the probe 2 or 3 times. Moisten prior to use.
c. Cotton Flannel: Cut a small square of cotton annel and wrap around the probe
with thread. Moisten prior to use.
Rubber Probes: Over time, the Rubber Probes will lose their conductivity and need
replacing.
Low Battery Warning: The RED light comes ON when the battery is low. This means
the battery will soon need to be replaced. The battery can continue to be used until
the YELLOW light goes off.
Power Supply: When Micropulsing, as a safety feature, the unit can only be powered
by a 9-Volt battery.
Replacement Batteries: When purchasing replacement 9-Volt batteries, take the
Silver Pulser with you to ensure a proper t, as 9-Volt batteries vary in size.
HOW MICROPULSING SHOULD FEEL
1. The sensation is a gentle pulsing. While the microcurrents should be felt, it is not
necessary to turn the intensity control up to an uncomfortable level.
2. With repeated use, the ability to feel the microcurrents may change. It may be
necessary to increase the intensity in order to feel the microcurrents.
3. Twitching of the ngers is normal at a higher intensity.
4. During the rst weeks of use, the skin may become irritated. Over time, irritation
usually decreases or disappears. Alternating wrists each session allows any
irritation to better heal.
SENSITIVE SKIN
Some individuals may be particularly sensitive to microcurrents and the irritation may
continue. To minimize irritation:
1. Wash wrists thoroughly after each session and apply a healing gel or lotion such

© 2003-2018 SOTA Instruments Inc. Page 10 of 14|www.sota.com
The Silver Pulser Model SP5 Manual
as aloe vera, vitamin E or MSM cream.
2. Micropulse for shorter periods of time until the irritation disappears.
3. Alternate wrists daily.
4. Wet the Cotton Sleeves with distilled water or Ionic~Colloidal Silver. The silver
electrolyte has a healing effect. If unable to feel the current, try a commercial saline
solution for the eyes. This is gentler than adding salt to the water.
5. A conductive gel or aloe vera gel added to the wet sleeves may help to reduce
irritation.
6. Another option is to wrap a small square of paper towel around the probes instead
of using Cotton Sleeves. Keep the paper well moistened. A small square of paper
towel may last for several applications. If available, use unbleached paper towel.
7. Set the intensity dial to a comfortable level. The YELLOW ashing light needs to
be visible indicating the current is owing.
TYPICAL USE
Alternate wrists daily.
Length of Session: Build up time gradually. It is best to start slowly. Start with 10 to
20 minutes a day. Increase gradually to a minimum of 2 hours each day.
Length of Use: Use daily for a minimum of 8 to 12 weeks. Once completed, setting a
schedule for ongoing use is benecial. Suggestions for a maintenance schedule are a)
1 to 3 times per week, b) 1 week per month, or as needed. The initial program can be
repeated at any time.
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. If
using the 4-part SOTA Protocol, it is suggested to stop only
one part of the protocol at a time.
HOW TO USE THE IONIC~COLLOIDAL SILVER
FUNCTION
HOW TO ASSEMBLE
1.The Silver Wires t into the two small holes in the Silver

© 2003-2018 SOTA Instruments Inc. Page 11 of 14|www.sota.com
The Silver Pulser Model SP5 Manual
Wire Holder.
2.To insert the Silver Wires, move the spring clip away from the hole to allow the wire
to slide in smoothly.
a. Insert as in the picture. Push the wire through. Most of the wire should be below
the holder. It may be easier to insert from the underside of the holder.
b. Release the clip to hold the Silver Wire snuggly in place.
3.Repeat the above steps for the second Silver Wire and plug the Silver Wire Holder
into the Silver Pulser, ensuring that the at side of the plug is facing up.
HOW TO MAKE IONIC~COLLOIDAL SILVER
The Silver Pulser provides a constant current output,
which allows for a very simple procedure for making
a high quality Ionic~Colloidal Silver using room
temperature water.
1.Pour two cups (16 ounces or 500 ml) of room
temperature distilled water into a tall glass container.
Do not use a metal or plastic container.
2.Place the Silver Wire Holder on the glass container
immersing the Silver Wires. Keep them at least 25
mm or 1 inch from the bottom of the container.
3.Turn the unit ON by rotating the ON/OFF switch
clockwise until it clicks. It is not necessary to turn up
the intensity.
The ORANGE light will brighten as the current increases up to the 1.0 mA limit.
4.Stir occasionally with a non-metal utensil. Occasionally, wipe off the grey or black
silver oxide that builds up on the Silver Wires.
5.Two cups (16 ounces or 500 ml) for 2 hours will produce a 5 to 8 ppm batch of
Ionic~Colloidal Silver, depending on the brand of distilled water. The concentration
of silver is measured in parts per million or ppm.
Note: With constant current the time required to produce 5 ppm or more will not be
reduced by adding salt or by heating the water. The current is held steady and is not
inuenced by salt or heat.

The Silver Pulser Model SP5 Manual
6.When nished, wipe the Silver Wires with paper towel to remove residue. Buff
lightly when needed to keep them free of sediment. Harsher bufng will wear away
the silver faster.
Notes:
Color: Ionic~Colloidal Silver remains colorless to about 5 or 6 ppm. At a slightly
higher ppm it will be a pale gold color. Do not drink if it is darker than pale gold or
dark grey as this indicates a higher level of impurities or larger particle sizes.
Clarity: The electrolyte should be clear. Do not drink if it is cloudy.
To Make Larger Quantities: The Silver Pulser can be used to make larger quantities
of Ionic~Colloidal Silver. For a concentration between 5 to 8 ppm, use the following
times as a guide:
For 4 cups or 1 liter: 3 to 4 hours.
For 1 gallon (16 cups) or 4 liters: 10 to 12 hours.
Storage: Pour the Ionic~Colloidal Silver into a dark glass bottle—never metal—and
store in a dark, dry place. Over time, light will degrade Ionic~Colloidal Silver by
turning the electrolyte grey or black.
When made and stored properly, Ionic~Colloidal Silver retains freshness for many
weeks. It is suggested, however, that you use as soon as possible. If settling occurs, it
is losing potency. Do not drink any sediment.
Do not freeze, refrigerate, or expose Ionic~Colloidal Silver to extremes of
temperatures as its potency may be affected.
Save on Batteries: The unit can be powered by an AC-DC Wall Adaptor when
making Ionic~Colloidal Silver. See ‘Optional Power Input’ on page 13.
Switch Silver Wire Positions: The silver ions only come off the wire in the positive
(+) or anode terminal into the water. To equalize the wearing of the Silver Wires,
exchange the position of the wires after each use. If left in the same position, only one
Silver Wire will gradually wear away.
Replacing the Silver Wires: The Silver Wires are of the highest grade .9999 or 99.99%
or 4 Nine pure ne silver. When the SOTA pure Silver Wires wear too thin, do not
replace with sterling silver, as it contains nickel, which can be toxic.

The Silver Pulser Model SP5 Manual
TYPICAL USE
Quantity: There is no denite amount to drink. When consumed on a regular basis—
daily or several times a week—it is best to drink no more than 1 to 2 ounces (30 to 60
ml) at a time.
Larger amounts of Ionic~Colloidal Silver—1 cup or more—can be consumed for
short periods of time, for example, a few weeks. It is better to take smaller amounts
throughout the day rather than all at once.
Length of Use: 1 to 2 ounces (30 to 60 ml) or more daily for 2 or 3 months.
Ionic~Colloidal Silver can be used as needed. The initial program can be repeated at
any time. If using for an extended period, it is wise to take breaks.
Strength: Laboratory testing indicates Ionic~Colloidal Silver is effective as low as 2
ppm. When ingesting on a regular basis, it is suggested to limit the strength to less
than 10 ppm.
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
POWER REQUIREMENTS
Use a 9–Volt Alkaline battery for proper operation.
OPTIONAL POWER INPUT
Both functions of the Silver Pulser 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.
To use a Wall Adaptor for making Ionic~Colloidal Silver the output should be
from 6 to 12 Volts DC with a Tip or Center Positive pin and a minimum of 500 mA
(milliamperes) of current. The Wall Adaptor that comes with other SOTA units can
be used for making Ionic~Colloidal Silver.
Caution: Exceeding the voltage rating or reverse connection may result in injury
or unit failure. This will void the warranty.
To operate the Ionic~Colloidal Silver Function from a 12 Volt DC source, such as an
automobile battery or an appropriate Solar Panel, purchase a Universal Power Cord
with Tip or Center Positive.
OUTPUT SPECIFICATIONS
The output voltage is a nominal 31 Volts.
