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 locations around the ear
lobe may minimize irritation.
2. Plug dual connector end of Earclip wires into Channel 1 or Channel 2 jack.
3. Remove and discard old Earclip Electrode Pads (EEPS) if present.
Remove old glue residue, clean and dry Earclips 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 Conducting Solution™ (ACS) 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 Frequency to 0.5 Hz or desired
setting. Try 1.5 or 100 Hz only if 0.5
Hz is not effective after 2 or 3 weeks.
8. 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.
9. Squeeze Earclips and apply one to
each ear lobe. Figure 11.
10. Current defaults to 1 (100 µA) when the Alpha-Stim
®
M is turned on.
Increase Current slowly (6 is the highest setting) until a slight vertigo is
