1.
Low Battery. If batteries are too low, proper output cannot be maintained. If the battery charge indicator
is flashing, charge the batteries as soon as possible. See section on batteries to determine voltage.
2.
Defective lead wires. If there is a break in the lead wires INSTANT ALERT will show a current test fail
ure. To test for lead wire failure plug a set of lead wires into channel 1. Press the PROBE button to enter
into the probe mode. Touch the exposed lead wire metal tips together. The LCD probe display should
read over 400. If it does not this means a break somewhere in the lead wire. Shake the lead wire to see
if the break causes an intermittent problem. Replace the defective lead wire.
3.
Defective electrodes. Carbon Silicone electrodes have a natural useful life of about 6-8 months. Bad
electrodes can impede the flow of current and cause INSTANT ALERT to issue a current test failure. Try
a new set of electrodes.
Multi-application electrodes have several components that can break down and cause a failure. Even new elec-
trodes can be bad. Try another pair.
CAUTION: THERE ARE NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS OTHER THAN BATTERIES. DO NOT OPEN
THE INSTRUMENT WITHOUT INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE COMPANY.
The probe is also connected to the INSTANT ALERT system. Breaking contact with the skin during treatment
will cause a current test failure.
Note: INSTANT ALERT current test operates by capturing samples to measure against what is entered on the
screen. At lower frequencies it may take the microprocessor a little extra time to find a sample to measure. This
will account for the slight lag in showing a failure in the lower frequencies.
The AXION micro5 uses a combination of power sources.
Display Memory
One button type lithium battery not accessible to the user. When this battery fails the instrument will no longer
display the last entry upon start up. The unit must be returned to us to replace this battery.
Main Processor Board and Output
Three high capacity “D” size NiMH batteries. Recharge these batteries using the supplied USB charger, Com-
puter USB port or auto USB port. Charging time is about 6 hours for a full charge. When charging make sure
the charging indicator light is on. This light is located on the back of the micro5. The low battery indicator will
turn on when it is time to recharge. THE UNIT CANNOT BE USED DURING CHARGING.
To keep the channels isolated, channel two has its own rechargeable power source. These batteries are recharged
at the same time the main batteries are recharged so no extra steps are needed.
During charging the micro5 will turn it self off. This prevents operation with the charger plugged in. TURN
THE MICRO5 OFF BEFORE CHARGING. Should the device ever fail to turn on, make sure that the charging
cord is not plugged into the back of the device. If unit still fails to turn on, contact Company.
