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.

14.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: Discoloration of probes is normal. Buff occasionally to
remove stains to ensure good electrical contact.
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:
a. 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.
b. Cotton Flannel: Cut a small square of cotton annel and wrap around the probe
with thread. Moisten prior to use.
Testing the Micropulsing Function: Unplug the Micropulsing Cord with the unit
on. The GREEN and RED lights on the left side of the unit should ash alternately. If
lights do not ash, check battery. If lights still do not ash, contact your supplier or
your closest repair depot. See ‘Repairs’ on page 13.
Power Supply: When Micropulsing, as a safety feature, the unit can only be powered
by a 9-Volt battery.
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.

© 2000-2018 SOTA Instruments Inc. Page 9 of 13|www.sota.com
The Silver Pulser Model ZBB4 Manual
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
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.
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.

The Silver Pulser Model ZBB4 Manual
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
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.
HOW TO MAKE IONIC~COLLOIDAL SILVER
1.Heat 2 cups (500 ml) of distilled water to the boiling
point—preferably in a non–metal container. Do not
use a glass measuring cup on the stove top as it may
explode.
2.Use a heat-resistant glass container to make
Ionic~Colloidal Silver.
3.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.
4.Turn the unit ON by rotating the thumbwheel switch
clockwise, until it clicks. It is not necessary to turn up
the intensity.
When the Silver Wire Holder is plugged into the unit, the GREEN light on the

© 2000-2018 SOTA Instruments Inc. Page 11 of 13|www.sota.com
The Silver Pulser Model ZBB4 Manual
right side of the unit will come on steady. The lights on the left side of the unit
will continue to ash.
5.Stir occasionally with a non-metal utensil. Occasionally, wipe off the grey or black
silver oxide that builds up on the Silver Wires.
6.Two cups (16 ounces or 500 ml) for 15 minutes will produce a 3 to 5 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.
7.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:
Impurities: If the RED light on the right side of the unit comes on while making
Ionic~Colloidal Silver, it means there are too many impurities in the water. Try a
different brand of distilled water. The RED light also comes on if the two wires are
touching.
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.
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’ below.
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

The Silver Pulser Model ZBB4 Manual
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.
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.
