5. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your KWD 808I device:

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the main unit and all accessories from the packaging.
2. Power Connection: Connect the provided AC adapter to the 'External 9V DC Power Jack' on the back of the unit and then plug it into a suitable power outlet (110V-220V). Alternatively, insert 6 standard 1.5V C batteries into the battery compartment (not visible in provided images, typically on the underside or back).
3. Initial Safety Check: Ensure all 'Output Adjustment Knobs' are turned to their minimum (zero) position before powering on the device.
4. Connect Electrode Wires: Plug the output electrode wires into the 'Output Path Holes' on the front panel.
5. Attach Electrodes: Attach the small or big electrode stickers to the desired treatment areas on your skin. Ensure the skin is clean and dry for optimal adhesion and conductivity.
6. Connect Acupoint Pen (Optional): If using the acupoint detection function, connect the Acupoint Detecting Pen to the 'Detection Outlet'.

6. Operating Instructions

Once the device is set up, follow these steps for operation:

1. Power On: Turn on the device using the 'Power Supply Switch'. The 'Power Lamp' should illuminate.
2. Set Treatment Time: Rotate the 'Timer Knob' to select your desired treatment duration (e.g., 15, 30, 60 minutes).
3. Select Waveform: Press one of the 'Wave Buttons' (1-5) to choose the desired pulse wave type. The available waveforms are Continuous, Dense-disperse, Intermittent, Ripple, and Respiration.
4. Adjust Frequency: Use the 'FREQ Knobs' to set the fundamental and modulation frequency for the selected waveform. The frequency is continuously adjustable from 1 to 100 Hz.
5. Apply Electrodes: Ensure the electrode stickers are firmly attached to the skin in the desired treatment areas.
6. Adjust Output Intensity: Slowly turn the 'Output Adjustment Knob' for each active channel clockwise to gradually increase the pulse intensity to a comfortable level. Do not exceed a comfortable sensation. The 'Output Lamp' will indicate active channels.
7. Acupoint Detection (if applicable): If using the Acupoint Detecting Pen, adjust the 'APD' knob to find the optimal sensitivity for locating acupoints.
8. Multiple Outputs: You can use up to six output channels simultaneously. To enhance the effect, you may cross two or more outputs.
9. Monitor and Adjust: During the session, you can adjust the intensity or frequency as needed.
10. Power Off: After the session, turn all 'Output Adjustment Knobs' to minimum, then turn off the device using the 'Power Supply Switch'.

8. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your KWD 808I device, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the main unit with a soft, dry cloth. For electrodes, gently clean with a damp cloth and ensure they are completely dry before storage. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
• Storage: Store the device and its accessories in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Replacement: If using batteries, replace them when the power indicator light dims or the device performance decreases. Ensure correct polarity when inserting new batteries.
• Electrode Care: Keep electrode stickers clean and free from debris. Replace them if their adhesive properties diminish or if they show signs of wear and tear.
• Cable Inspection: Periodically check all cables and wires for any signs of damage. If any damage is found, discontinue use and replace the affected component.

9. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your KWD 808I, refer to the following common solutions:

• Device Does Not Power On:
  • Check if the AC adapter is securely plugged into both the device and the power outlet.
  • If using batteries, ensure they are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Replace if necessary.
  • Verify that the 'Power Supply Switch' is in the 'ON' position.
• No Output/Weak Sensation:
  • Ensure all 'Output Adjustment Knobs' are turned up from the minimum (zero) position.
  • Check that electrode wires are securely connected to both the device and the electrode stickers.
  • Make sure electrode stickers are firmly attached to clean, dry skin.
  • Confirm that a waveform has been selected and frequency is set.
  • Safety Alert: Remember that all outputs must be turned off before powering on the unit. If the device was powered on with outputs already active, it might trigger a safety alert preventing output. Turn off, reset outputs to zero, then power on again.
• Electrodes Not Sticking:
  • Clean the skin area where electrodes are applied to remove oils or lotions.
  • Clean the adhesive side of the electrode stickers with a damp cloth and let them air dry.
  • If the adhesive is worn out, replace the electrode stickers.
• Acupoint Detecting Pen Not Working:
  • Ensure the pen is securely connected to the 'Detection Outlet'.
  • Adjust the 'APD' (Acupoint Sensitivity Adjustment Knob) to find the correct sensitivity.
