Torment
- This mode is designed more for BDSM use than pleasure. It delivers brief
random stimulation at random times and varying intensities.
MA
control adjusts the pulse
frequency. You may want to set the output levels higher than for other modes.
Phase 1 & 2
- These advanced modes use
TriPhase
stimulation and require a special
electrode configuration. The
MA
control adjusts the speed of the
TriPhase
effect. Phase
2 randomizes the effect while each channel varies in intensity for added variety. See
Advanced
— Section A4 for more information on
TriPhase
.
Phase 3
- This is another
TriPhase
mode as above. It creates three unique currents from
only two channels. See
Advanced
— Section A4.
User 1 through 6
- These are displayed for custom stimulation routines you can add
using the optional
ErosLink
software. If you do not have
ErosLink
software, these modes
will not display.
ErosLink
is available from ErosTek and most dealers. See Section A5 for
more information.
11: TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL E-STIM
If you find yourself turning the Level controls all the way up, see Section
A2 on how to increase the
Power Level
. Most types of electrodes must be thoroughly
moist to work properly — except for conductive gel adhesive pads. Electrode gel is best but
many report good results using ordinary water based lube with a tiny pinch of baking soda
or contact lens saline solution mixed in. Some conductive rubber accessories may limit the
intensity due to their design and become less conductive with repeated use.
Electrodes
made from solid, polished, body-safe metals — namely aluminum and stainless steel —
provide the best conductivity even with repeated use.
Current must always flow between two contacts
. Smaller contacts usually feel more intense
compared to larger ones. If the contacts used on a given channel are much different in size,
most of the sensation will usually be concentrated at the smaller contact. Keep in mind that
electrodes used near muscles may cause powerful muscle contractions at higher settings.
Increase levels gradually and use caution if using the ET312 on someone else. Consider
what effects muscle contraction might have. For example, it’s not a good idea to use
electrodes on the legs of a standing person. The stimulation could make them fall.
The body gradually adapts to electrostimulation so either more current is required after
sustained stimulation or the electrodes should be moved to a fresh area.
The wider the
variety of stimulation, the slower the body adapts. It’s normal for sustained and/or intense
stimulation to leave the area temporarily numb. Keep this in mind depending on what other
activities you may have planned. When using music for audio based stimulation, it is normal
for quiet passages to produce little or no output—especially with classical music.
Music with
a more consistent volume level works best.
