SweatStop® DE20
5. Digital display
During normal usage, the display shows the current value measured in mA (milliampere), as well
as the chosen current type (PC or DC). Additionally, it shows messages such as “treatment over”.
6. LED indicator “empty battery”
When this red LED lights up, it indicates that the accumulators are empty. You will have to re-
charge the accumulators before being able to use the device again.
7. Charging socket
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 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.
8. Battery compartment
The device has a battery compartment (8) for four rechargeable
batteries / accumulators of the cell type LR (Baby / C). 4 NiMH accumulators are part of the delivery
scope. The charging duration depends on the capacity of the batteries and the charger – new cells
(standard equipment, 4x 2500 mAh) take approximately 11-12 hours to charge.
9. Code control
The number of all completed treatments will be saved. This code status has replaced the “therapy
diary” in order to offer an alternative proof for a regular trial phase to health insurances.
Trial phase under prescription by health insurance
Code status
Many health insurances want to make sure that the device is actually
needed before they take over the costs. Often, a therapy diary or the
questionnaire provided by AAM (including code) is used as proof of
the therapy sessions. The code status indicates the number of treat-
ments you conducted. By demand of certain health insurances, the
number of completed sessions was coded to impede a possible deception. In order to read the
code status on the display, insert a pointy object, e.g. a screwdriver (2-3 mm in diameter) into the
hole on the left side (9)* to press the code switch. Keep it pressed down and switch on the device
– after a few moments, a four-letter figure will appear on the display. The code switch can now
be released.
* Insert horizontally if you own the version in the etui; insert slantwise from above if you own the version in the plastic case.
