Intensity Lockout Feature

To unlock the unit, simply press the intensity decrease       button for the channel you 
wish to change and the unit will unlock. This allows the intensity to be adjusted either up 
or down. The program can also be changed when the intensity is above zero. As soon as 
the program is selected, the unit will automatically decrease the intensity of the current 
program to zero on both channels and change to the new program selected. Intensity can 
then be increased on that program.

Quick Select Feature

The Select has five buttons that allow you to quickly choose the most commonly used 
programs for a particular body part. Choices include Low Back/Hip, Knee, Hand/Wrist, 
Shoulder, and Back. By pressing one of the Quick Select buttons, the unit is automatically 
set up for a particular program option. Intensity is still adjusted by pressing the intensity 
control buttons and will start at zero.

NOTE: 

Holding a Quick Select body part button for five (5) seconds after adjusting the 

parameters will save the parameters and the “Custom” text icon appears. The “Custom” 
text icon will flash if any parameters are adjusted and saved.

NOTE:

 See the Intensity Lockout Feature section above to change the program 

parameters.

Turning On the Device

Turn on the Select by pressing the On/Off button. Turning the unit on will default to the last 
treatment used. The intensity of both channels will be 0.0 when the unit is turned on.

Choosing the Treatment Settings

Your clinician has recommended one of the program options explained in the Quick Select 
Feature or Program Option Controls sections in the Operation section of this manual. Set 
the device to the recommended setting if different from the one shown on the display.

NOTE: 

Follow your clinician’s instructions about changing the recommended settings to 

achieve optimum comfort level.

Program Option Controls

Select offers nine (9) program options. To select a specific program option, depress the 
Mode button or one of the Quick Select buttons.

   2     Quick Select Shoulder Program - Simple Modulated Pulse (SMP)

 

   3     Quick Select Low Back/Hip Program - Modulated Amplitude (MA)

 

   4     Quick Select Hand/Wrist Program - Simple Modulated Pulse (SMP)

 

   5     Quick Select Back Program - Modulated Amplitude (MA)

 

   6     Continuous (C)

 

   7     Burst

Quick Select Knee Program – Alternating Ramped Burst (ARB)

The Alternating Ramped Burst program is the same as the Burst, but Channel 2 starts after 
Channel 1 has completed a cycle. Channel 1 gradually increases intensity from 0 to the 
set level over 0.5 seconds, holds at the set intensity for 5.0 seconds, and then decreases 
intensity over 0.5 seconds. After decreasing intensity to zero, Channel 1 stays off while 
Channel 2 increases, holds, and decreases via the same pattern as Channel 1.

Quick Select Button Reset Mode 

With the unit off, pressing the On/Off button while holding down the Set button will take you 
to the Quick Select Button Reset Screen. The “Data” text icon will appear.

The body part icons will be displayed along with the “Custom” text icon associated with the 
body part icon. “CP” appears on the screen to clear all five programs saved on the unit.  

Pressing the On/Off button will exit the Quick Select button reset screen, or after one (1) 
minute has passed and no buttons have been pressed, the unit will automatically exit the 
Quick Select button screen and turn off.
