2. Display Led
Each of the leds illuminates whenever the electronics of the device create a
current impulse at contraction time and does not illuminate when the stimulation
is ceased at relaxation time. Due to the capacity of the human eye, the illumina-
tion of the lamp can only be recognized up to a frequency of approximately 30
Hz. At higher frequencies, the lamp will appear to be constantly illuminated.
3. On/Off Switch and Intensity Controls:
If both controls are in the off-position (white markings on the housing), the de-
vice is switched off.
By turning the controls clockwise, the appropriate channel is switched on and
the impulse display led will illuminate and begin to pulse according to the fre-
quency set.
The current strength of the impulses transmitted to the electrodes increases
further when the control is turned clockwise.
To reduce the current strength or switch the device off, turn the control counter
clockwise to the required setting or off-position, respectively.
4. Lead Connector
Connection of the electrodes is made with two-lead connector. The device must
be switched off before connecting the cables. Both intensity controls must be at
the Off position. Electrodes must be pressed firmly on the skin.
2. Place the electrodes on the liner and remove the lead wire by twisting and
pulling at the same time.
Care and Storage
1. Between uses, store the electrodes in the resealed bag in a cool dry place.
2. It may be helpful to improve repeated application by spreading a few drops of
cold water over the adhesive and turn the surface up to air dry. Over Saturation
with water will reduce the adhesive properties.
Important
1. Do not apply to broken skin.
2. The electrodes should be discarded when they are no longer adhering.
3. The electrodes are intended for single patient use only.
4. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult your clinician.
5. Read the instruction for use of self-adhesive electrodes before application.
Chapter 17 : ADJUSTING THE CONTROLS
1. Slide Cover:
A slide-on panel covers the controls for Contraction
Time, Relaxation Time, Ramp Time, Pulse Width, and
Pulse Rate. Your medical professional may wish to
set t hese controls for you and request that you leave
the cover in place.
