• Switch the stimulator on.
Once switched on, the display will briefly show the
software version. A functional test where all display
indicators appear for a short time is performed. The
initial screen appears next (Figure 4-2).
When the initial screen is displayed, the device has
successfully passed the functional test.
If the letter “E” is displayed instead of the initial
screen, the stimulator is defective and must be
replaced. Do not use this stimulator any more.
On the initial screen you will see:
- The remaining stimulation duration
- The intensity of the stimulation (indication of the
selected intensity level, adjustable in steps
of 0.5 from 0 to 60)
- The selected program
• Select the program either via the quick select keys
or via the program selection keys.
• Increase the stimulation intensity for a channel
(1 or 2) by pressing the corresponding key.
Increase the intensity with great care and in
small increments. Select a level which causes a
pleasant sensation that is felt clearly.
