5.2 Beginning Operation
This section explains the first steps in starting to use the Vibrex 2000 and
Vibrex 2000 Plus, including how to power up and how to use the initial
screens the user sees directly afterward.
5.2.1 Powering Up
To turn the Vibrex unit on, press the ON/OFF button. To turn the unit off
press the
ON/OFF button again. The unit has the following powering on-
and-off features:
• To keep the user from powering down the unit unintentionally, the
user must hold the
ON/OFF
button down for at least 1 sec. while the
unit is in operation.
• If there are no key presses or activity on the balancer for 10 min., the
unit enters a “rest” mode to keep the batteries fresh.
• To restart the unit at any time, press the
ON/OFF button again.
NOTE: The Vibrex 2000 and Vibrex 2000 Plus come shipped with
batteries. If the batteries run low or lose power, the Vibrex unit may
not power up. However, the user does not lose data stored in the
memory during this time. The unit keeps data in its memory for up
to 8 hr. without batteries and/or power.
