setup too uncomfortable, you may consider selecting a monopolar treatment and/or
reducing the intensity.
3. Choose the CONTRACTION/REST cycle times.
Press the toggle key one or more times to select contraction/rest cycle times. Available
options include 10/10, 10/30, 10/50 and Continuous. The setting of 10/30, for example,
means a 10-second contraction time followed by a 30-second rest time. The continuous
duty cycle is not recommended for electrical muscle stimulation, but may be used for
settings that are intended to effect other results than a muscle contraction. NOTE: For
probe treatments, a NON-CONTINUOUS duty cycle is recommended. The high volt
probe does not have a manual on/off control; you simply lift the probe off the skin during
the rest cycle and reapply it at the next treatment site before the next contraction cycle
begins.
4. Choose the RAMP setting.
Press the toggle key one or more times to select the ramp time. Options include .5, 1.0,
1.5, and 2.0 seconds. The ramp time is applied to both the start and to the end of the
contraction and the ramp time is in addition to the contraction time itself. A ramp setting
is not applied to the Continuous duty cycle.
5. Choose HIGH or LOW pulse rate range.
Press the HIGH/LOW toggle key one or more times to select the high range only or the
low range only (this toggle key is found next to the IFC/PREMOD key). The lights next
to the toggle key show you what you have selected. In a high volt treatment, High or
Low only must be selected (the combined High/Low option is not available for High
Volt).
Default High and Low pulse rate ranges for High Volt:
The HIGH range is 80 to 120 Hz.
The LOW range is 1 to 10 Hz.
These ranges may be changed for a single treatment if desired, or new default
settings may also be saved to apply to all future treatment setups.
Change the PULSE RATE RANGE (optional)
You may change the pulse rate settings for the High or Low range, if desired. You may
only change the pulse rate range before pressing START to begin the treatment. When
you modify the settings, they will remain in effect for the duration of the treatment. If
you save defaults during this treatment, the new settings you have entered become the
defaults for high volt. However, if you do not save the new settings, the unit will return
to the current default settings for the next treatment.
First press the TIME toggle key to select RATE. The RATE light under the TIME
display becomes green and you will see the current pulse rate range settings displayed in
the Time and the Power-Intensity displays as shown in the diagram below. Next, press
the toggle key to select either the HIGH or the LOW range (this is found next to the
IFC/PREMOD key). With RATE selected and either the HIGH or LOW range selected,
you may use the up/down arrow keys to
