1. Clean ear lobes with mild soap and water, alcohol pads or antibacterial
wipes and allow skin to dry. Areas where skin oils or dirt have
accumulated, or where cosmetics or hair spray have been used must
be thoroughly cleaned to ensure adequate conductivity. Monitor skin
condition prior to and after treatment. Skin irritation may develop in
light skin. If skin burns are noted following treatment, discontinue use
and apply an appropriate skin cream. Varying Earclip Electrode
locations around the ear lobe may minimize irritation.
2. Plug dual connector end of Earclip Electrode wires into jack on left
side of the Alpha-Stim
®
AID. Figure 1.
3. Remove and discard old Earclip Electrode Pads (EEPS™) if present.
Remove old glue residue, clean and dry Earclip Electrodes and attach 4
new EEPS™. Note that EEP™ case opens
with label on bottom.
4. Saturate 4 new Earclip Electrode Pads
(EEPS™) thoroughly with several drops of
Alpha-Stim
®
Conducting Solution while
on Earclip Electrodes.
5. Press Power on.
6. Mute the audio, if desired, with the key
sequence: Lock-Timer-Lock. To reinstate
the audio alerts, press the same key
sequence again.
7. Set Timer. 20 minutes is usually enough
time if the current is set to at least 250
µA. 40 minutes to 1 hour is recommended if the
current is at or below 200 µA. Squeeze Earclip
Electrodes and apply one to each ear lobe. Figure 2.
8. Current defaults to 1 (100 µA) when the Alpha-Stim
®
AID is turned
on. Increase Current slowly (5 is the highest setting) until a slight
