Remove the Micro-Z Mini™ System
Components from the packaging. Verify that all
components listed in Section 3.0, System

4.2 Electrode Placement
WARNING!
Do not place an electrical stimulator across a
patient's heart or transthoracically.
Do not stimulate over the carotid sinus nerves.
Severe spasm of the laryngeal or pharyngeal
muscles may occur when electrodes are placed
over the neck or mouth area. Contractions may
be strong enough to close the airway or cause
diffi culty in breathing.
Do not apply electrical stimulation
transcerebrally.
Do not use electrical stimulation over
swollen, infected or infl amed areas, or
skin eruptions such as phlebitis,
thrombophlebitis, or varicose veins. Place
electrodes according to prescribed treatment
with the above cautions in mind. Follow all
instructions for the electrode use.
4.3 Powering the Device
The Micro-Z Mini™ is powered by one (1) AAA
battery. Remove the battery compartment cover
from the back of the device. Install the battery
according to the illustration inside the battery
compartment making certain the positive terminal
of the battery aligns with the ‘+’. Replace the
battery compartment cover.
4.4 Connecting the Lead wires
The lead wires determine the polarity of the current
and are coded accordingly; black is negative and
red is positive. Connect the lead wire snaps to the
Micro-z Mini™ by inserting the snap stud end into
the inside position of the slot and sliding toward
the outside position to lock in place. The red lead
wire is placed on the right hand side and black on
the left. Connect the garment electrodes to the
lead wires by inserting the pin ends into the
garment electrode.
Garment Electrode
Please read the product insert accompanying the
garment electrode. Connect the Silver-Thera™ or
Electro-Mesh™ garment electrode to the lead
wires using the female snaps.
