- When charging is finished (LED lights green) take the external charger out of the DC-
STIMULATOR and the live outlet.
You can leave the charger plugged in even if the DC- STIMULATOR is fully
charged. There is no risk of damaging the DC- STIMULATOR .
If the LED on the charger flashes between red and green, please make sure the
plug is connected properly or ask the manufacturer for a new charger.
Only use the charger supplied with the device, the “Mascot 2116”, for charging. It is
optimized for the type of battery used and continuously monitors battery state to prevent
overcharging or overdischarging.
The use of other battery chargers, power supplies or energy sources for charging
or discharging may cause fire or explosion and may damage the DC-
STIMULATOR . The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any injury caused
by such use.
Electrodes
During a stimulation procedure, the electrodes are connected to socket "1" (anode - positive)
and socket "2" (cathode - negative). By changing the electrode wires an easy change of
anodal and cathodal stimulation mode is possible.
Electrodes may only be inserted into the sockets whilst the front plate is in the
“Stimulation” position (see Manual: Operating Basics).
Hold the connector, not the cable, when plugging the electrodes into the sockets (see
Figure 12 and Figure 13). The electrodes will need touch-proofed safety connectors
according to DIN 42802-2 (ø 1.5 mm) for use with your DC-
STIMULATOR .
DC currents can harm body tissue. Ensure that limitations for current density are
kept. The German authority ”Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte
(BfArM)“ recommends a limit value for current density of 0.1 mA/cm
² . The
manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any injury caused by a too high current
density.
