After switching on the device, the
MEDISANA ACS/ACP
is always set at the
lowest level of intensity (basic setting). For certain acupuncture treatments,
however, higher intensities may be necessary.
You can change the effective intensity before or during stimulation. It is recom-
mended, however, not to adjust the intensity until stimulation is applied, since
different areas of the body vary in sensitivity and also because different people
experience the electric impulse subjectively.
When the device is on, press the intensity button
on the plus sign (+) re-
peatedly until you have reached the desired intensity. In the display
you will
see that the light display moves one step further each time the button is
pressed.
When the last LED is illuminated, the device is set at the highest intensity. If you
press the intensity button
on the minus sign (-), the intensity is reduced step
by step down to the lowest intensity (foremost LED).
NOTE
The intensity is experienced very differently at different points
of the body. Before changing the acupuncture point, it is
therefore recommended to always reset the intensity to the
lowest level!
With the
MEDISANA ACS/ACP
you will receive an acupuncture tip
, an ear-
phone
(ACP only) and an external electrode with cable
(ACP only).
For the
MEDISANA ACS
, the
earphone
and
external electrode
(item no.
81650) are available as an accessory set.
Acupuncture tip
The additional acupuncture tip
has a finer and very narrow tapered end,
enabling even more efficient stimulation of the acupuncture point. This can be
especially useful in searching for, finding and stimulating points located very
close together, e.g. in the ear. Simply place the tip on the device. Make sure
that it is seated securely and has contact with the device.
Earphone (ACP only)
The earphone
can be connected to the
MEDISAN ACS/ACP
by means of
the jack
. Now the acoustic signal can only be heard through the earphone.
NOTE
Remember to switch off the device after completion of the
treatment. If you have worked with the earphone and set it
aside with the device, you can tell that the device is switched
on only by means of the illuminated LED
.
The battery consumption increases if you leave the
MEDISANA ACS/ACP switched on unnecessarily.
