SweatStop® DE20
You should be able to feel the current, but it must NOT be uncomfortable. You will perceive every
treatment differently. This is why your last current settings should only be viewed as a benchmark.
You should adjust the current strength according to your comfort.
In cases of skin irritation, stop the treatment and seek advice from your doctor. Your doctor will
then decide whether the treatment can be continued.
Summary:
• Adjust the device to the direct current setting (DC). Use pulsed current (PC) for more sensitive
body parts. Due to its pauses, the pulsed current offers a finer dosage.
• Readjust the current strength before every new treatment.
• Duration of the treatment: 20 minutes.
• Sessions: once a day. Later, every 1-3 days or according to your personal needs.
• Remove all metal objects (jewellery).
• Change polarity before every treatment.
• Consult a doctor in cases of skin irritation.
Power supply
The device comes with a built-in battery compartment (8) for four standard rechargeable NiMH
batteries (= accumulators) connected in series, type HR14 (= Baby = C). In delivery condition,
their capacity is 2500 mAh. Due to this, the device can be operated independently from a power
connection.
Monitored battery / accumulator capacity
As soon as the battery voltage drops below a defined value, the yellow LED (4) will light up.
The display will alternatively show the message “battery low”, the current type, and the current
strength. You will be able to conduct a minimum of 2 more treatment sessions before the accumu-
lators need to be recharged. When the battery voltage drops further, the red LED (6) will light up.
The display will show the message “batteries empty”. You will have to recharge the accumulators
before you will be able to continue your treatment.
Charging the accumulators
The charging socket is located on the right side of the device (7). You may only use the supplied
charger, since it is adjusted to the accumulators built into the device. Connecting the device to the
wrong charger or power supply may lead to severe damage.
If the DC plug of the charger is inserted, the circuit will be interrupted and the device will be
deactivated.
Caution: Never try to recharge primary battery cells with the recharging unit – only rechargeable
NiMH batteries (“accumulators”) are allowed.
When replacing batteries, all four batteries must be replaced. The charging duration of the re-
chargeable batteries is 11 to 12 hours (delivery condition).
