Do not Use
1.Do not use 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 electrodes over skin lesions, abrasions, new scars,
cuts, eruptions or sunburn.
2.Discontinue use if the Micropulsing suddenly feels different or prickly and the
GREEN 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.
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. Do not allow the Cotton Sleeves to dry out while Micropulsing.
c. Do not Micropulse while sleeping, as the Cotton Sleeves may dry out.
ioniC~ColloiDAl silver CAUtions
We recommend taking occasional breaks from consuming Ionic~Colloidal Silver for
the following reason:
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.
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 and that you hold SOTA harmless for any injuries or damage
believed to arise from using the SOTA Products.

hoW to Use the miCroPUlsing
fUnCtion
1.Place the 9-Volt Alkaline battery in the unit by
inserting it into the cavity at the top end of the
unit.

© 2003-2022 SOTA Instruments Inc. Page 5 of 11|www.sota.com
The SP Lite Model SPL1 Manual
a. Position the 9-Volt Alkaline battery so the
positive (+) and negative (-) terminals line up.
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. 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.
4.Insert one electrode from the Micropulsing Cord into the open end of each Cotton
Sleeve. Use a gentle twisting motion to work the probe into the Cotton Sleeve.
5.Wet the Cotton Sleeves with water.
6.Put the Wrist Strap on.
7.Position one of the electrodes with Cotton Sleeve over the pulse point on the thumb
side of the wrist, under the Wrist Strap.
8.Place the other electrode with Cotton Sleeve 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.
9.Turn the unit ON by rotating the ON/OFF switch
clockwise. Turn the switch slowly until you feel the
current. If you do not feel the current, see Notes on
page 6.
a. The solid GREEN light on the side of the unit
indicates the unit is ON. If the light does not come
on, the battery may not be placed correctly.
b. The ashing GREEN light should come on and get
brighter as the intensity is turned up. If the ashing GREEN light does not come
on, the electrical path has not been established.
10.Place the unit in a pocket.
Option: If preferred, the unit can be placed in an Arm Strap and held in place on
the arm. A short Micropulsing Cord is best for this option.

The SP Lite Model SPL1 Manual
11.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.
12.Unplug the Micropulsing Cord. Do not store the unit with the Micropulsing Cord
plugged in as this can damage the Cord.
13.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 a dropper bottle.
Drink enough water to keep the body well
hydrated. Hydration can affect the ability to
feel the current.
Care of Micropulsing Cord: Discoloration
of electrodes is normal. Buff occasionally
to remove stains to ensure good electrical
contact.
Care of Cotton Sleeves: Wash or rinse sleeves
occasionally. Periodically discard and replace
Cotton Sleeves.
Alternatives to Cotton Sleeves:
a. Sponge Sleeves: available from SOTA.
b. Cotton Sleeves with Velcro®used with a Velcro® Wrist Strap: available from SOTA.
c. Unbleached Paper Towel: Cut a small square of paper towel large enough to wrap
around the probe 2 or 3 times.
d.Cotton Flannel: Cut a small square of cotton annel and wrap around the probe.
Secure it in place with thread.
Power Supply: When Micropulsing, as a safety feature, the unit can only be powered
by a 9-Volt Alkaline 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. Alkaline
or rechargeable batteries are recommended.

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. Alternate wrists each session to minimize the
potential for irritation.
sensitive skin
Some individuals may be particularly sensitive to microcurrents and the irritation may
continue. To minimize irritation:
1. Use Sponge Sleeves - available from SOTA.
2. Wash wrists thoroughly after each session and apply a healing gel or lotion such
as aloe vera, vitamin E or MSM cream.
3. Micropulse for shorter periods of time until the irritation disappears.
4. Wet the Cotton Sleeves with distilled water, Ionic~Colloidal Silver or conductive
gel. If unable to feel the current, try a commercial saline solution for the eyes. This
is gentler than adding salt to the water.
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: The SOTA Products User Guide available at
www.sota.com/spug offers suggestions for Focused, Basic and Ongoing Wellness
Plans.
General Guideline: Use daily for a minimum of 8 to 12 weeks. Once completed,
setting a schedule for ongoing use is benecial.
Drink Plenty of Water: It is 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 more than one SOTA unit, it is suggested to stop only one unit at a time.
hoW to Use the ioniC~ColloiDAl silver fUnCtion
hoW to mAke ioniC~ColloiDAl silver
The SP Lite provides a constant current output, which allows for a very simple
procedure for making a high quality Ionic~Colloidal Silver as room temperature water
can be used.
1.Attach one alligator clip to each Silver Wire.
2.Plug the Alligator Cord into the SP Lite.
3.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.
4.Place the Silver Wires in the glass
container immersing at least 70% of the
Silver Wires into the water. Keep them
at least 25 mm or 1 inch from the bottom
of the container and 1 inch between the
wires.
5.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.
6.Stir occasionally with a non-metal utensil. Occasionally, wipe off the grey or black
silver oxide that builds up on the Silver Wires.
7.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.
8.When nished, wipe the Silver Wires with paper towel to remove residue. Buff
lightly when needed to keep them free of sediment. Excessive bufng will wear
away the silver faster.

The SP Lite Model SPL1 Manual
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 if
it is dark grey as this indicates a higher level of impurities or larger particle sizes.
Clarity: The silver electrolyte should be clear. Do not drink if it is cloudy.
To Make Larger Quantities: The SP Lite 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. Discard if this occurs.
When made and stored properly, Ionic~Colloidal Silver retains freshness for many
months. 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: When making Ionic~Colloidal Silver the unit can be powered by
an AC-DC wall adaptor. See ‘Optional Power Input’ on page 10.
Switch Silver Wire Positions: The silver ions only come off the wire in the red clip,
positive (+) or anode terminal into the water. To equalize the wearing of the Silver
Wires, periodically exchange the position of the wires. 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.
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: The SOTA Products User Guide available at
www.sota.com/spug offers suggestions for Focused, Basic and Ongoing Wellness
Plans.
General Guideline: 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 optimal operation.
oPtionAl PoWer inPUt
Both functions of the SP Lite can also be operated using 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 polarity.
oUtPUt sPeCifiCAtions
The output voltage is a nominal 31 Volts.
