Preface
One of our prime objectives as a Sw iss company is the development and
manufacturing of precise and reliable products for physical therapy based
on years of experience. Some of our products are well know n and utilized
internationally. As a s mall co mpany w e can afford to keep in touch w ith our
customers w ho often contribute to new developments.
May your w ork w ith the F-SCAN COMPA CT be beneficial.
Introduction
The FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER F-SCAN COMPACT has been
developed to complement our existing F-SCAN product line. Custo mer
have frequently asked for a mobile and reasonably priced F-SCA N device
with greater functionality than the F-SCAN SATELLITE and of other
devices marketed.
WARNING: User w ith Pacemaker, pregnant women and electro-
sensitive persons, should consult a medical professional prior to
connecting to the F-SCAN COMPACT.
WARNING: The F-SCAN COMPACT generates frequencies. The use
of cables, adapters or accessories other than the ones supplied or
recomme nded by the m anufacturer could cause malfunctions and
revoke the w arranty.
NOTE: The F-SCA N COMPA CT, all accessories, connectors and
cables, must be visually inspected for damage frequently. A complete
functional test, performed by a professional, is recommended once a
year.
NOTE: The device’s integrated functions allow biological tests and
applications described by the author Dr. H. R. CLARK. They are also
suitable for applications commonly named after R. R. RIFE.
The F-SCAN COMPACT is used under the
sole responsibility of it’s operator
WITHOUT LIABILITY TO THE MANUFACT URER.

- 5 -
The F-SCAN COMPA CT offers the same set of more than 340 applications
named after R. R. RIFE as the F-SCAN2. An application can be selected
and ready to start w ithin one minute. 10 or 100 more memory banks for up
to 50 frequency values each, can be filled by the user w ith individually
selected applications. Each of the 10 or 100 banks can be erased or
reused.
The mode of operation is new . It resembles the operating mode of modern
cell phones and it does not take long to get used to the procedure. The
F-SCAN COMPA CT is small and mobile. The integrated rechargeable
Lithium- Ion battery pow ers the device for up to 3 hours of continued use.
The device, its application cable and tw o suitable electrodes are all that’s
needed to run an F-SCAN frequency application almost anyw here.
If an application is selected and started, it w ill run safe and automatically
with factory set defaults. The user can interf ere and adjust the settings of
the signal form, the runtime for each frequency or the level of the signal
amplitude. These user settings remain active either until the user changes
them again, or resets them to the default settings w ith a touch on a button.
A SWEEP-function – the range betw een an upper and a low er f requency
limit can be defined by the user – is offered as well. The runtime can be set
betw een 30 seconds and one hour.
A full cycle ZAPPER-function (as described by Dr. H. R. Clar k) is integrated
and a “SPECTRAL ZAP-function” w hich generates even more harmonics
and further intensifies the stimulation of the immune system.
“Soft ramping“ is used to switch from one frequency value to the next to
avoid unw anted discharge impacts for the user. The signal amplitude is
reduced to zero for the frequency exited and raised from zero to the
operating leve l for the new value.
Pow er ON and OFF, as w ell as sw itches between frequency values and the
end of an application, are signaled acoustically. The device sw itches OFF
automatically after 2 minutes of inactivity.
The Lithium- Ion battery recharges if the device is connected to a PC or
Notebook w ith the USB-cable. The latter, and a pow er supply to plug into
mains – connected w ith the same USB-cable –, are shipped w ith the F-
SCA N COMPA CT.

First steps
The charge level of the Lithium-Ion battery of the F-SCAN COMPA CT must
be checked first after the device and its accessories have been unpacked.
CHARGE YOUR F-SCAN COMPACT BEFORE FIRST USE FOR
AT LEAST 6 HOURS. CONNECT THE DEVICE AND THE POWER
SUPPLY WITH THE USB CABLE AND PLUG THE POWER
SUPPLY INTO AN AC-OUTLET. IF THE DEV ICE IS POWERED
ON DURING THE CHARGING PROCEDURE, LESS ENERGY FOR
ENERGIZING THE BATTERY PACK IS AVAILABLE AND THE
CHARGING PROCEDURE TAKES LONGER.
THE LCD MAY SHOW APPEARING AND DISAPPEARING
STRIPES DURING THE CHARGING AND THE DEV ICE MAY
WARM UP SLIGHTLY. THESE EFFECTS ARE NORM AL.
Press KEY-CENTER . An acoustic signal accompanies the start-up
sequence. The display shows briefly the units name, the company
identification and the release level of the firmw are, follow ed by the start
screen:
If the battery is fully charged its icon in the upper r ight corner of the display
will show a load of more than 115% ( ). The battery icon flashes if
the device is connected with the USB-cable to either the pow er supply or a
booted PC or Notebook until the battery is fully charged.
The battery discharges slow ly w hen the device is operated stand-alone.
The battery should be recharged if its capacity reaches 30%. A protection
circuit shuts the device off if it is operated below that level.

It may occur that the device cannot be powered on during an active
charging process. In such case disconnect the device, start it up, then
reconnect to the charger.
The battery is charged continuously as long as the device is connected w ith
the USB-cable to either a booted PC or Notebook, or to the pow er supply
plugged into mains.
Fully charged the battery supports 3 hours of continuous stand-alone
operation.
The Lithium- Ion battery does not age prematurely if the device remains
connected to a pow er source whenever it is not used stand-alone.
After pow er on in stand-by menu, it is possible to select different
backlight settings:
o Press F1 to select 100% backlight w ith backlight off after 20
seconds and use KEY_UP or KEY_DOWN to adjust
backlight.
o With F2, you select 70% and can use KEY_UP and
KEY_DOWN for modification of backlight WITHOUT
backlight off after 20 seconds.
o With F3, you select 50% and can use KEY_UP and
KEY_DOWN for modification of backlight WITHOUT
backlight off after 20 seconds.

To change the runtime for the SWEEP, set the
cursor to the line SET TIMER and confirm.
Adjust the time w ith the up and dow n keys and
confirm w ith CENTER.
Adjust the time w ith KEY-UP and KEY-DOWN.
Leave the SET TIMER menu w ith KEY-LEFT.
To start the SWEEP, move the cursor to this line
and confirm.
The symbol
AUTO,
to the left of the frequency value
“F“, indicates, that the signal form w ill be assigned
automatically to the SWEEP based on the
frequency band selected. The step size betw een
frequencies is calculated by the processor in
relation to the band w idth. The conductivity value
(CV) registers if electrodes are attached. The time
remaining for the SWEEP show s 19 minutes : 53
seconds.
To start the SPECTRAL ZAP, move the cursor to
this line and confirm.
The application time is the same as set for
SWEEP. The signal form is square dc-offset as
long as the factory default
AUTO
is not changed.

ZAPPER function (as described by Dr. H. R. CLARK)
The F-SCAN COMPA CT provides a traditional ZAPPER–program. It is
formed by 9 time phases of equal length. If the TIMER is set to 7:00
minutes – and the program started – the function runs automatically as
follow s for 63:00 minutes:
A first active time phase is follow ed by 3 inactive ones, leading to a second
active time phase, follow ed again by 3 inactive ones. The program
completes w ith a third active time phase.
Steps to the progra m and its sequence in detail.
The ZAPPER–program is stored in position 350 of the application list.

10 memory banks for user defined applications
F-SCAN COMPACT 10SP,
Firmware Version FSC V2.0x
The F-SCAN COMPACT offers memory banks of 50 positions each.
User can enter frequency sequences from the Internet or from other
sources. Entries w ill be saved until erased by the user. The procedure to
follow to either erase all user entries together, or on e sequence only, w ill be
described later in this document.
Example: how to enter frequency values of 100 Hz, 200 Hz and 1234 Hz in
memory location number #1:

Some applications mentioned in the literature call for use of frequencies
with up to 2 decimals (i.e. 8.82 Hz). The F-SCAN COMPA CT offers this
feature starting w ith firmw are version Vx.05 or Vx.13.
