INTRODUCTION TO TENS:
Turn on the device by pressing the power key (12).
If it is the first time you have turned the device on, the
“Menu” Screen appears and INF is blinking. Use the Up/
Down arrows (5) & (9) until TENS is blinking press (7) to
select it.
To select another modality press the down key (9) to scroll
until the desired modality blinks and press the Enter Key (7)
to select it. (Refer to section on desired modality for further
instruction).
TENS has three modes
CONST: Constant Stimulation
B: Burst
M: Pulse Width Modulation
Scroll through the modes by pressing the UP/Down arrows
(5) & (9). When the desired mode blinks press the Enter
Key (7) to select.
If CONST is chosen, Hz is blinking. Use the Up/Down arrows
5 & 9 to select the desired value. Press the Enter Key (7)
to accept the value. Next PW (Pulse Width) is blinking. Use
the Up/Down arrows (5) & (9) to set the desired value. Press
the Enter Key (7) to accept the value.
Press the timer key (11) and “0” min. blinks. Press the
Up/Down arrows (5) and (9) to set the desired amount of
minutes 1-99.
Use the amplitude keys (1-4) to turn up the amplitude and
begin stimulation, turn up the amplitude one at a time. (The
unit will not turn up if two or more keys are pressed at the
same time.)
If Burst is selected, µS is blinking. Use the “Up/Down ar-
rows” (5 & 9) to select the desired value. Press the Enter
Key (7) to accept the value. Press the Enter Key (7) to ac-
cept the value. (The Hz value is fixed in this mode at 16Hz)
Press the timer key (11) and “0” min. blinks. Press the
Up/Down arrows (5) and (9) to set the desired amount of
minutes 1-99.
Use the amplitude keys (1-4) to turn up the amplitude and
begin stimulation, turn up the amplitude one at a time. (The
unit will not turn up if two or more keys are pressed at the
same time.)
If Modulation is chosen, Hz is blinking. Use the Up/Down ar-
rows 5 & 9 to select the desired value. Press the Enter Key
(7) to accept the value. Next PW (Pulse Width) is blinking.
Use the Up/Down arrows (5) & (9) to set the desired value.
Press the Enter Key (7) to accept the value.
Press the timer key (11) and “0” min. blinks. Press the
Up/Down arrows (5) and (9) to set the desired amount of
minutes 1-99.
Use the amplitude keys (1-4) to turn up the amplitude and
begin stimulation, turn up the amplitude one at a time. (The
unit will not turn up if two or more keys are pressed at the
same time.)
SEQUENTIAL STIMULATION
FIXED SEQUENTIAL PROGRAMS
The QuadStar
®
II has 9 fixed sequential stimulation pat-
terns. The fixed patterns cannot be altered, each is a
preset sequential stimulation pattern (See the following
section on programming sequential stimulation.)
To choose a fixed sequential treatment press the "Left Ar-
row Key" (6) and use the “Up and Down Arrows”(5) and
(9) to toggle to "Seq" when "Seq" blinks press the "Enter
Key" (7) to choose sequential stimulation. "Fixed Seq. 1"
blinks, if you wish to choose this sequence, press the "En-
ter Key" (7). If another fixed sequence is desired, press
the "Down Key" (9) to scroll through the nine fixed se-
quence, pressing the "Enter Key" (7) when the desired se-
quence blinks. When the desired sequence is chosen, the
screen will display the first part of the sequence to show
the practitioner the settings for the sequence. When the
electrodes are placed, the device is ready to begin stimu-
lation. Use the "Intensity Selector Keys" (1-4) to begin
stimulation and set the device to the desired intensity.
Once the first modality in the fixed sequence is finished,
the device will stop stimulation and the word "Start" will
blink at the top of the screen. Once the "Enter Key" (7)
is pressed, the device will begin the second part of the
sequence. Again use the "Intensity Selector Keys" (1-4) to
begin stimulation and set desired intensity for the current
modality. Repeat steps for the third modality.
*Each part of the sequence runs for 20 minutes.

PROGRAMMABLE SEQUENCING:
Threre is also a programmable mode in the QuadStar®II.
To utilize the Programmable sequential option, press
the "Left Arrow Key" (6) and use the “Up and Down Ar-
rows”(5) and (9) to toggle to "Seq" when "Seq" blinks
press the "Enter Key" (7) to choose sequential stimula-
tion. Press the "Down Key" (9) to scroll through the nine
fixed sequences until “Programmable is blinking. Press the
"Enter Key"(7) to accept. “Programmable 1” blinks when
the screen appears. Press the “Enter Key” (7) to accept,
as nothing on the first screen is adjustable. “Program-
mable 2” is now blinking and the Pulse Rate value is also
blinking. Change the value by pressing the “Up or Down
Arrows” (5 and 9). When the desired value is blinking,
press the “Enter Key” (7) to accept. The PW value is now
blinking. Change the value by pressing the “Up or Down
Arrows” (5 and 9). When the desired value is blinking,
press the “Enter Key” (7) to accept. The waveform is
now blinking. Toggle between Symmetrical Biphasic and
Asymetrical Biphasic waveforms by pressing the “Up and
Down Arrows” (5 and 9), followed by the “Enter Key” (7)
to accept. “Programmable 3” is now blinking. Since noth-
ing on this screen is adjustable press the “Enter Key” (7)
to accept. The screen toggles back to Programmable 1,
prompting the use to set the desired intensity using the
“Intensity Keys” (1-4) to begin stimulation when ready.

Lock:
Locks the unit in a mode. The only parameters that can
be changed while the unit is locked is the intensity and
Timer options.
To turn on the patient lock make sure nothing on the
screen is blinking and hold down the "enter key" (7) and
the "up arrow" (5) simultaneously for 2 seconds. A small
key will appear at the bottom of the screen. The unit is
now locked.
To turn off the Patient Lock, hold down the "enter key"
(7) and the "down arrow" (9) simultaneously for 2 sec-
onds. The small key will disappear. The unit is now un-
locked.
As the unit is unlocked, the amount of time the Patient
has used the device while locked is displayed. The num-
ber of hours the device has been used will be displayed
on the bottom of the screen. The device will store use
up to 99 hours, then resets to zero. To delete the stored
time, press and hold both (5) "up arrow" and (9) "down
arrow" simultaneously.
BATTERIES:
In order to maintain the functional operation of the
QuadStar®II the batteries will have to be changed periodi-
cally. The device is supplied with 4 AA Alkaline batteries.
When batteries are running low, a battery image will appear
and flash on the bottom right hand corner of the display
screen (C). When this image appears, the batteries should
be changed to ensure maximum performance.
Warning: We do not recommend the use of rechargeable
batteries, as they may weaken the performance and/or
readout of the device.
To change batteries:
• Before opening the battery compartment, check to make
sure that the device is switched off.
• Slide open the battery compartment cover.
• Remove the batteries from the compartment. Gently insert
the new batteries by matching the +/– end of each battery
with the +/– symbol found inside the battery compart-
ment.
• Slide the battery cover to the closed position.
• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the
device for long periods of time. Otherwise leakage and
