5. Adjusting Channel Intensity Control:
locate the Intensity Control Knob
(Channel 1 or 2) at the top of the unit. Slowly turn the Intensity Control
Knob clockwise until the stimulation is at the level recommended by your
physician / clinician (if you don’t feel anything, turn the Knob OFF then
ON again and carefully turn the Control Knob until you feel a tingling
or slight twitch under or around the electrodes). The indicator light will
illuminate when unit is in operation. Always start with the lowest setting
and increase the intensity slowly.
If the stimulation levels are uncomfortable or become uncomfortable, reduce
the stimulation intensity to a comfortable level; or cease stimulation and
contact your physician.
