3: BASIC OPERATION
Using the ET312 is very simple. Just follow these easy steps:
1 – Connect the supplied AC Adapter to the 12vdc jack when the battery needs charging.
The ET312 may be used while charging.
2 – Make sure the unit is OFF and connect the desired accessories to the output jacks.
Both plugs of each leadwire must be connected to an electrode surface to form a complete
circuit for current to flow. Keep all connections below the waist and follow the directions
supplied with your accessories.
3 – Turn on both Level controls all the way down (to the left).
4 – Press the power switch in to turn ON the power.
5 – Use the white Up/Down keys to select the desired mode (see section 10). The name of
each mode is displayed on the LCD.
6 – Set the Level and MultiAdjust controls to produce the desired stimulation. More
information can be found on pages 6 - 15.
4: SAFETY
Be sure you have read the
Important Safety Information
printed at the front of
this Guide.
Like many things in life, electrostimulation is not without risks. It must
be performed properly and there are certain people who should not use ANY
electrostimulation devices including the ET312 — this includes anyone with a
heart condition.
In general, electrostimulation should only be performed below the waist.
It is extremely
important to avoid passing current through the heart, neck, or head areas. You need only
grab a bare metal connector or electrode when the unit is on and wired to at least one
other point on the body. The current will travel from below your waist, through the heart
area and to your hand.
Always turn the ET312 OFF when making, changing, or removing
connections.
The ET312 should only be used with accessories and electrodes designed for safe
e-stim.
Never make connections to body jewelry or similarly small electrodes.
Do not use
electrodes made of toxic metals such as lead solder. If you intend to use the ET312 on
someone else, you should experiment with it on yourself before connecting it to someone
else. Also, avoid splitting a channel to connect more than one person at a time.
