vertigo is experienced (a dizzy feeling,
similar to the sensation of rocking on
a boat), then decrease immediately
until the dizziness stops. Also
decrease immediately if the normal
tapping sensation felt on the ear
lobes is uncomfortable. For people
who have a history of experiencing
vertigo such as motion sickness, treat
at a subsensory current setting of 1
(100 µA) for one hour or more to
prevent residual vertigo after treatment. The tolerable current level
will be determined by the subjective feeling of vertigo which should
subside immediately upon reducing the current. The current should
always be reduced just below the level that causes vertigo.
9. Press Lock twice to lock settings, if desired. Press Lock twice again to
unlock and change settings, if necessary.
10. Relax, if possible, during the treatment. It is best to sit quietly or lie
down although it is also possible to read, work at a desk or watch
television during treatment. Do not attempt to drive or operate any
dangerous tools or machinery during treatment.
11. Power will turn off automatically at the conclusion of the timed cycle.
12. Always complete a CES session. When the timed session ends, and a
“heavy” feeling is still experienced, resume treatment until at least 2
minutes after the heaviness lifts and a light feeling develops. Failure to
do this can result in disorientation that can last for hours to days.
Some people benefit the most from several hours of treatment in a
given treatment session.
13. Remove and discard EEPS™. Clean and dry Earclip Electrodes and
replace 4 EEPS™ for the next treatment, if desired. EEP™ case opens
with label on bottom.
14. Store Alpha-Stim

AID away from children.
15. CES may be used as often as necessary but for most people it is best
to treat between once a day and twice a week. Results usually
improve and last longer with additional treatments.
