period of time (e.g., to answer a telephone or a doorbell),
the device can be carried with you. In this instance, it is
not necessary to turn off the device. However, if you do not
want to carry the device to attend to the interruption, you
will have 30 seconds before the device shuts off, and you
will need to begin another complete 20-minute treatment.
Within 30 seconds, complete the following:
1. Open the RAF cap and remove the transducer from
the RAF.
2. Attend to the reason for the interruption of treatment.
3. Reapply coupling gel to the transducer, as necessary.
4. Replace the transducer in the RAF.
5. Snap the RAF cap back on.
6. If your total response time for the above steps took
less than 30 seconds, the treatment will continue to
completion. However, if the total time of response
exceeds 30 seconds, the device will turn off. It will be
necessary to follow steps 1–5 above before pressing
the “On” button to start a complete, new 20-minute
treatment period.
