Remove the batteries when storing the Alpha-Stim
®
M for an extended time of more
than one month. Use the case to store and transport the Alpha-Stim
®
M. The Alpha-
Stim
®
M and its accessories should be stored and used within a temperature range
between 0° and 36° C, with a relative humidity below 90%, at an atmospheric
pressure between 912 to 1115 hPa. Clean the Alpha-Stim
®
M by gently wiping the
surface with a damp cloth when dirty. Use mild soap and water if necessary. Use of
other cleaning solutions may damage the case. Never spray cleaners directly on the
device. 70% isopropyl alcohol may be used on the Smart Probes and Earclip
electrodes to disinfect them between treatments.
Problem Possible Solutions
There is no sensation of
current. Note: This is
normal for some people,
especiall
with Probes.
Try increasing the current or wetting electrodes with more
Alpha Conducting Solution™ (ACS).
There are no results. 1. Vary the electrode locations.
2. Treat all other areas of pain.
3. Try 1.5 Hz, or 100 Hz if 0.5 Hz is ineffective.
4. Treat more often or for a longer time at a lower current.
5. Some people require up to 3 weeks or more of
treatment to begin to see an effect.
6. Consult your health care practitioner, authorized
Alpha-Stim
®
distributor, or EPI for advice.
Electrodes do not stick
well.
1. Wet AS-Trode™ electrodes with a few drops of ACS™,
replace if they still do not stick well.
2. Apply EEPS electrodes to a clean, dry surface.
Smart Probes do not
conduct current.
1. Use more ACS™.
2. Try other lead wire to determine if it is a broken wire.
The
symbol appears.
1. Make sure electrodes are touching skin firmly.
2. Make sure all plug/jack connections are firmly in place.
3. Try wetting PEPS or EEPS with more ACS™.
4. Change the batteries if the batteries are low.
