Activating the DC-STIMULATOR
Turn on the switch at the rear side of the DC- STIMULATOR (see Figure 8).
Some warnings and additional information will be displayed at start up. Please read these
messages carefully. This process cannot be skipped. Following this process the DC-
STIMULATOR is ready to use.

Mode standby
If the DC- STIMULATOR is not used over a longer period of time, it switches automatically to
standby mode in order to save energy.
After 30 seconds of inactivity the display turns dark. Additionally, an acoustic warning signal
(beep) reminds you every 60 seconds of inactivity that the device is still switched on.
Press an arbitrary button to end standby mode.
Turning off the DC-STIMULATOR
Turn off the switch at the rear side of the DC- STIMULATOR (see Figure 9).
NB: It is very easy to forget to switch off the DC- STIMULATOR after use.
Therefore, always check the switch setting carefully to avoid total discharge of the
DC-
STIMULATOR batteries (charging will take approx. 8 hours should this
happen).
