to use that is higher than 15,000Hz, simply find the harmonic of
that frequency by dividing it by 11.
If the harmonic you find is not within the working range of
the ELEMENT Elite coils, you can find the second harmonic by
dividing again by 11, but it is better to find a different set of
frequencies to use for the particular issue. The more harmonics
away from the original frequency, the less effective they are.
Likewise, if your routine has a frequency below 5Hz, find its
harmonic by multiplying by 11.
Even though the ELEMENT Elite will play up to 15,000Hz, due to
the limitation of the coils, we recommend using the harmonic for
any frequency above 10,000Hz.

Different source devices will have different maximum volume
outputs. Laptops, for example will typically put out more volume
than a smart phone or tablet, and will even vary greatly between
different brands. It’s best to set your source device at maximum
volume and then control the volume actually used with the
software. If you change devices (or have more than one you
routinely use), see the section on INITIAL SET UP.

When it comes to volume, start out low. Imagine you bring home
a brand new stereo system you are unfamiliar with. When you
try it for the first time to play a CD, do you turn the volume all
the way up and then push the play button? NO! Same thing
here. Start with a lower volume setting. Does the coil get warm
(especially at lower frequencies)? If not, you can feel safe to turn
it up a bit the next time. If it does, you’re as high as you should
go...and maybe ought to consider turning it down a bit. If the coil
gets warm, you are getting as intense of a session as you can.
Turning it up from here will only cause damage to the system.

The lower the frequency, the more power is consumed. Where a
low frequency (double digit and below) will work the amplifier
to its maximum at a 50% (or even lower) volume setting, a high
frequency will not work the amplifier much at all even at a full
volume setting.

While the above is true, keep in mind that the higher the
frequency, the easier it is to penetrate deep into tissue, so it’s not
