5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your LaMagneto device, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | Power cable not connected properly or no power from outlet. | Check power cable connection to device and wall outlet. Test outlet with another appliance. |
| Applicators not working. | Applicators not securely connected to output channels. | Ensure applicators are firmly plugged into the device's output ports. |
| Display shows an error message. | Internal error or malfunction. | Turn off the device, wait 30 seconds, then turn it back on. If the error persists, contact customer support. |
| No sensation during treatment. | Low intensity setting or magnetotherapy is not designed to produce strong sensations. | Verify the intensity setting for the selected program. Magnetotherapy typically does not produce noticeable physical sensations. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact I-TECH customer support for further assistance.
