Advanced Topics – Introduction and Menus
A1: ADVANCED INTRODUCTION
Consider the ET312 similar to an advanced camera. Most users let their cameras set the
exposure, focus automatically, decide when to use the flash, etc. In a similar way, the
ET312 normally automates several adjustments. Some users, however, may want more
control.
This section is intended for advanced users and is optional reading.
A2: MENUS
Main Menu
- Pressing the
MENU
key enters the main menu. The
UP
and the
DOWN
keys now display various menu options and the
OK
key selects a displayed menu item. To
return to normal operation without making any changes, simply press the
MENU
key again.
Start Ramp Up?
- Pressing
OK
will immediately reduce the intensity of both channels
and slowly ramp it back up again. The amount of reduction and the ramp time are
adjustable in the Advanced Adjustment Menu. The ramp time can be adjusted from less
than one minute to more than an hour. The ramp level is displayed on the LCD.
To cancel a ramp and return the unit to normal, just change the mode.
The Ramp Up function does
not work
in the
Random1
mode.
This function offers some very interesting options. It can be used to gradually increase
the output over time to adjust for the normal desensitization that occurs during prolonged
e-stim. Used this way, the perceived output level will remain approximately constant.
It can also be used to deliberately increase the intensity over time which some people find
highly erotic. It can challenge the user to complete the ramp cycle much like a weightlifter
is challenged to complete a certain workout routine. In a BDSM scene, letting the person
connected to the ET312 see the slowly increasing display can be especially arousing.
Set Split Mode?
- Pressing
OK
allows you to select which two modes are used when
Split is selected. So, for example, you might choose
Audio 1
for Channel A and
Waves
for
Channel B or one of 80 other combinations. Simply select the mode for A, press
OK
, then
select the mode for B and press
OK
.
Not all modes are available to
Split
as some require both channels to function correctly and
certain combinations may not work as expected.
