Connecting Your Hoses to the
Controller Unit
The next step is connecting your hoses to the controller unit. The
hose latches and the ports on the controller unit/bilateral port
adapter are numbered 1 through 4, so when connected properly,
latch number 1 will connect to port number 1, and so on.
4.1 Connecting Your Bilateral Port Adapter
If you are conducting bilateral treatment, you will have received
a bilateral port adapter that connects to the controller unit
(Figure 4.1.a.). The adapter must be connected to the controller
unit prior to connecting your garments. To connect the adapter,
position it so the paddles on both sides are perpendicular to the
adapter and the ports on the back of the adapter align with the
ports on the front of the controller unit (Figure 4.1.a.). You will hear
two clicks, which conrm the ports have been properly aligned and
connected. Once the adapter has been properly connected, move
the paddles on both sides in the down direction, so they are locked
(Figure 4.1.b.). You should not be able to remove the adapter from
the controller unit without unlocking it.
NOTE: One or more of the ports will be capped if your prescribed
treatment does not use the port(s). Do not remove the port cap(s).
