4. Use only the specified battery: 1x 3.7volt rechargeable lithium battery. The use of any
other battery could damage the unit.
5. Remove battery if unit is not used for a long period of time.
6. Do not use the unit while asleep.
7. Do not put the lead wire on, or wrapped around the neck.

10. Apply stimulation only to normal, intact, clean, healthy skin.
11. Using the device directly over metallic implants could cause the currents to focus
over a small area, causing tissue burns. If you have metal implants, do not place the
pads near, or across the implant, and adjust the intensity with care.
Precautions:
1. Since the effects of stimulation of the brain are unknown, stimulation should not be
applied across the head and electrodes should not be placed on opposite sides of the
head, unless you are in Microcurrent mode.
2. The safety of electrical stimulation during pregnancy has not been established.
3. Some patients may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to the electrical
stimulation or electrical conductive medium (gel).
4. Patients with suspected or diagnosed heart disease should follow precautions
recommended by their physicians.
5. Patients with suspected or diagnosed epilepsy should follow precautions recommended
by their physicians.
6. Use caution when the patient has a tendency to bleed internally, such as following an
injury or fracture.
7. Use caution following recent surgical procedures when stimulation may disrupt the
patient’s healing process.
8. Use caution if stimulation is applied over areas of skin with less than normal sensitivity.
9. Keep this device out of the reach of children.
Adverse Reactions:
• Patients may experience skin irritation and burns beneath the stimulation electrodes
applied to the skin.
• Patients may experience headache and other painful sensations during or following the
application of electrical stimulation near the eyes and to the head and face.
• Patients should stop using the device and should consult with their physicians if they
experience adverse reactions from the device.
