Troubleshooting and Repair
Troubleshooting
If the device does not function:
•Make sure the batteries are properly installed (check polarity markings)
•Make sure the battery contacts are clean.
If the device is ON, but does not respond to pressing the key pad buttons:
•Detach all patient lead wires from the device.
•Remove batteries from the device.
•Wait 10 seconds.
•Re-insert batteries and resume treatment.
If the Low Battery Indicator is visible, replace both batteries.
If the device is on, the indicator lights are illuminated over the intensity
controls, and you feel no stimulation, check and verify the connection of lead
wires and electrodes.
If the device appears to be functioning, and there is no stimulation, replace
the lead wires and/or electrodes.
If the channel shows an “OPEN” error message, check to make sure that all
electrodes and lead wires are properly attached. If the message continues
to show after all electrodes and wires have been checked, remove the
electrodes, clean and dry the skin area under the electrodes, and replace the
electrodes. If the error message persists, call Empi Customer Service.
