CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Stimulator

  Remove the battery before cleaning. Wipe the stimulator with a 

soft, slightly moistened cloth. If a more thorough cleaning is 
needed, you can also moisten the cloth with mild soapy water. 
Do not submerge the stimulator or expose it to a large amount 
of water. Do not use any chemical cleaners or abrasive agents to 
clean this device. After use, store the stimulator in its foam-padded 
carrying case to protect it from shock and dust. If you plan not to 
use it for a prolonged period, remove the battery from the unit and 
store in a cool, dry place.

2. Electrodes

  • Use the device only with the leads and electrodes provided 

  with this device or sold under the ProActive brand, following
  the placements and settings prescribed by your practitioner.
• It is recommended to use at minimum 4cm x 4cm self-adhesive,
  square electrodes.
• Inspect your electrodes before every use and replace as needed.
  Reusing electrodes too many times may cause slight skin irritation,
  low adhesion or ineffective stimulation.

  • Between uses, store the electrodes in the resealed bag in a cool 

  dry place. It may be helpful, between applications, to moisten 
  their adhesive surface with a few drops of water (be careful not to 
  over-saturate) and then let them air-dry to help them last longer.

Reusable, self-adhesive electrodes

10. After treatment is finished

Once the treatment time has elapsed, turn the intensity 
control dials counter-clockwise to the "OFF" position. 
Unplug the lead wires from the device.

 

 To remove the electrodes, lift one edge and gently peel 

(do not pull on the lead wires because this may 
damage the electrodes). Place the 
electrodes on the liner and remove 
the lead wire by twisting and 
pulling at the same time.

11. To consult the memory

With the unit shut off, press and hold 

M

 

and turn one intensity control knobs to enter 
memory mode. A 

M

 will be displayed on 

the screen. 
NOTE: The maximum number of 
records is 30, after which the oldest record 
will be deleted.

 

Use the arrow keys to navigate between records and 

S

 to switch 

between data withing one record. To clear the memory, press 
the quick select button.

12. To turn off the device

Rotate both intensity controls to "0". 

13. Low battery indicator

When the indicator flashes, replace the batteries as soon as 
possible. However, the stimulator will continue to operate for 
several hours. If stimulation seems weaker than usual, replace 
the battery.
