Product Overview
The Pure Vibes Nervstimulator is a compact and intuitive device. Familiarize yourself with its main components:
- Main Unit: The central control unit with power, program, and intensity adjustments.
- Electrode Ports: Two ports for connecting electrode cables, allowing for dual-channel operation.
- Intensity Dials: Separate dials for each channel to adjust stimulation intensity.
- Program Button: Button to cycle through the available stimulation programs.
- Battery Compartment: Located on the back or bottom of the device.
Setup
1. Inserting the Battery
- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the Pure Vibes device.
- Open the compartment cover.
- Insert the included 9V Lithium Ion battery, ensuring the polarity (+/-) matches the indicators inside the compartment.
- Close the battery compartment cover securely.
2. Connecting Cables and Electrodes
- Connect one end of the electrode cable to an electrode port on the Pure Vibes device.
- Attach the other end of the electrode cable to the self-adhesive electrodes. Ensure a firm connection.
- Peel the protective film from the self-adhesive electrodes.
- Apply the electrodes to clean, dry skin in the desired area. Ensure good contact for optimal performance.
Note: For optimal conductivity and comfort, ensure skin is clean and free of oils or lotions before applying electrodes. Replace electrodes when they lose their adhesiveness.
Operating Instructions
1. Power On/Off
- To turn on the device, rotate either intensity dial clockwise from the "OFF" position.
- To turn off the device, rotate both intensity dials counter-clockwise until they click into the "OFF" position.
2. Program Selection
- The Pure Vibes device offers 3 different programs.
- Press the "Program" button to cycle through the available programs. Each press will advance to the next program.
- Refer to the device's display or indicator lights (if present) to identify the active program.
3. Adjusting Intensity, Pulse Width, and Pulse Rate
- Intensity: Use the individual intensity dials for each channel to increase or decrease the strength of the electrical stimulation. Start at the lowest setting and gradually increase to a comfortable level.
- Pulse Width & Pulse Rate: These parameters are arbitrarily adjustable for the user, allowing fine-tuning of the stimulation sensation. Consult the device's specific controls for these adjustments, which may be integrated into the program selection or separate dedicated controls.
4. Usage Guidelines
- Begin with short sessions (e.g., 15-20 minutes) and gradually increase duration as desired.
- Always ensure electrodes are securely attached to the skin before increasing intensity.
- If the sensation becomes uncomfortable, reduce the intensity immediately.
- Do not share electrodes with others for hygiene reasons.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning
- Wipe the Pure Vibes device with a soft, damp cloth after each use. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- For electrodes, gently wipe the adhesive side with a damp cloth if needed, and allow to air dry before reattaching the protective film.
Storage
- Store the device and accessories in the provided storage case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Remove the battery if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
Battery Replacement
- When the device's power indicator shows low battery, or if performance diminishes, replace the 9V Lithium Ion battery following the "Inserting the Battery" steps in the Setup section.
- Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not turn on. | Battery is dead or incorrectly inserted. | Check battery polarity, replace battery if necessary. Ensure intensity dials are turned ON. |
| No sensation or weak sensation. | Electrodes not properly attached; intensity too low; worn-out electrodes; faulty cable. | Ensure electrodes are firmly on clean skin. Increase intensity gradually. Replace old electrodes. Check cable connections. |
| Sensation is uncomfortable or stinging. | Intensity too high; poor electrode contact; dry skin. | Reduce intensity. Re-position electrodes for better contact. Ensure skin is clean and moisturized (if applicable for electrode type). |
