Charging the Batteries
If you purchased the optional rechargeable battery system, you will typically charge one set
of batteries while using the other. If the low battery icon flashes, recharge the batteries as
soon as possible.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries or any battery other
than an Empi rechargeable battery.
1. Place the batteries in the charger. The batteries should slide in easily. If
force is required, you may be putting the batteries in backwards. Check
the “+” and “-” markers.
2. Plug the charger into any standard 110V/60Hz outlet.
3. If the batteries are new or have been stored for a long period of time,
full capacity will not be reached until the batteries have been through
3-5 charge/use cycles.
4. Rechargeable batteries have a natural life of approximately 500
charge/use cycles. Once this is reached, it is not possible to achieve full
capacity. At this point, batteries should be disposed of and
replacement ones can be ordered through Empi at 1.800.328.2536.
NOTE:
Batteries have a natural property to release the stored energy in small amounts
(this phenomenon is called ‘self-discharge’). This property is particularly noticeable in
rechargeable batteries such as Nickel Metal Hydride batteries etc. as compared to dry cell
(alkaline) batteries. For this reason, rechargeable batteries cannot be used unless charged
after purchase.
Regardless of the type of battery, this natural ‘self-discharge’ phenomenon occurs. In
order to get the NiMH batteries to ‘activate’ back to its full capacity, you must charge/use
or discharge from 3 to
5 times. All NiMH batteries must be ‘activated’ when they are
brand new or if they have been stored unused. Once NiMH batteries reach their end of life
(approx. 500 cycles), they should be disposed of, as continuing to
‘re-charge’ them will not do any good.
Changing the Batteries
The Select device is powered by two (2) “AA” batteries. For best results, use Empi alkaline
or rechargeable batteries. The Select device can assess battery condition at start up.
When the ON button is held down for two seconds, the battery icon will appear on the
screen by itself. If no bar, or only one bar appears, the device will not turn on until the
batteries are replaced. Change or replace the batteries when the low battery icon flashes
on the LCD display, or if the device will not turn on.

CAUTION:
Tur n device off and disconnect the electrode lead wires before
inserting fresh batteries.
1. Pull the belt clip and battery compartment off the unit to access the batteries.
2. Remove the discharged batteries. Dispose of the batteries in accordance with
national, state or local regulations.
3. Place the new battery into the space provided. Be sure the terminals
are
correctly aligned. The “+” of the battery should be lined with the “+” terminal of
the device and the “-” of the battery should be lined with the “-” terminal. Do not
force the battery. If force is required, you may be putting the battery in
backwards. Check the “+” and “-” markers.

Channel 2
– The Channel 2 text icon will be displayed along with the average
intensity for Channel 2.
Pressing the On/Off button will exit the Data Retrieval screen or after one (1) minute has
passed and no buttons have been pressed, the unit will automatically exit the Data Retrieval
screen and turn off.
Resetting to Default Parameters
While in Data Retrieval mode, press the Set button. “CL” appears on the screen to clear the
memory saved on the unit. Pressing both Down arrows on each channel will confirm that
memory is cleared and reset all options to factory defaults. See the default parameters for
each program in the
Specifications
section (pages 35-43). Pressing the On/Off button will
cancel clearing the memory and resetting all options to factory defaults.
CAUTION:
Inserting the batteries incorrectly may cause the batteries to
rupture or generate intense heat if allowed
to remain in the incorrect
position. This may cause irreversible damage to the batteries. If there
are signs of this type of damage, discard or recycle the batteries and order
replacements.
