Operational Modes

Note: In Pulse 
Modes, when 
you save a wave, 
the control dial

corresponding to 
the mode you were 
in. 

To fine tune wave, press MODE to speed up 

wave and OPTION to slow down wave. This will 

be shown visually with the blue LED strip. When 

satisfied, press SET again to save wave.
