Electrode Preparation
New headsets come with new sponges (dehydrated yellow disks) already installed in the white sponge receptacles.
The sponges will expand when submerged in water. You may wet the sponges separately or while they are in the
plastic receptacles. The entire plastic sponge receptacle, including the wire, may be dunked into water. The wet
sponges should fit into the white receptacles in such a way that the edge of the receptacles overlaps the sides of the
sponges. Snap the red and black wires onto the receptacles and then connect the other ends of the wires into the
stimulator. Black and red colors should be matched. After use, sponges will dry more quickly if removed from the
receptacles and allowed to dry by themselves.
SPONGES SHOULD BE REPLACED WEEKLY FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE.
Replacement sponges may be purchased on

Electrode Placement
Please refer to the diagrams on pages 10-16 regarding electrode placement and standard treatment durations.
Make sure the sponges are wet. Use the enclosed Velcro body straps to secure the red wire electrode to the rear
base of the neck (see below) and the black wire electrode to the area of the body that is experiencing pain as
indicated in the diagrams.
Below is an example of how to use the Velcro straps to secure the sponge electrodes. You may use other kinds of
straps if you prefer, as long as the sponge electrodes are secure:
Velcro Strap on base of neck
Red Wire sponge electrode
tucked beneath strap, wet
sponge against skin
Velcro Strap on elbow
Black Wire sponge electrode
tucked beneath strap, wet
sponge against skin
