Note: It does not matter if E1 is on the right or left; the electrodes can be placed

You can also change the direction of current flow manually by alternating
between the modes (E1 >> E2) and (E1 << E2). The arrows indicate the
selected direction of current between jacks E1 and E2 on the rear of the device.

knowing which electrode is positive can help you focus the treatment for faster
results.
For example, instead of taking 2-weeks to see drier results in both hands on
AUTO, you could see a reduction in sweat in your right hand in less than a week
by treating it with the positive electrode on manual.

pushing the SET-button at least once.
Start by placing your hands/feet into
the water bath trays or by placing the
wet axillary electrodes under your arms
(you’ll hear a short “beep” that
indicates you’ve completed the circuit and treatment has begun). As soon as
