4.6 Operating a treatment
For this purpose move the applicator slowly and quietly through the skin. In this case
the transducer should, whenever possible, be flat on the treatment area so that the
ultrasound is well coupled.
If the Ultrasound head is coupled, the light in the treatment head is green lightning.
If the Ultrasound head is not coupled, the light in the treatment head is green flashing.
If the slide the applicator across the skin becomes worse and the skin is pulled, it is
time to apply further gel.
!!
Note!
The ultrasonic frequency can be set between 1 and 3 MHz.
The frequency of the pulsed sound is 100 Hz pulse
You can choose between continuous sound (100%) and pulsed
sound with 50%, 30%, 20%, 10% and 5%.
The coupling state of the transducer is indicated by a green LED
on the transducer housing and through a graphical representation
on the screen. In case of bad coupling of the transducer, the LED
flashes green.
Warning!
Do not forget contact gel!
The transducer is careful to handle, since harsh external factors - such
as impact or shock - can change its properties. We recommend an
annual visual inspection for cracks that allow penetration of liquids, as
well as to the integrity of the cable and connector.

In the settings it can be specified if the therapy time is running or
stopped when you lift the ultrasound head. (Coupling control)
The ultrasound head is freely interchangeable. When the device is
switched on or the ultrasound head is inserted, each head is
