6. REPLACEMENT OF BATTERIES
A battery symbol is shown on the display when the batteries are almost empty . As long as the
stimulator is working normally you can continue the treatment. When stimulation feels weaker than usual or
the stimulator turns off, it is time to replace the batteries.
If the stimulator is not used for some time (approximately 3 months), the batteries should be removed from
the stimulator.
The stimulator operates on either two non-rechargeable 1.5 V AA batteries or two rechargeable 1.2 V AA
batteries, recharged in a separate charger.
The endurance of the batteries depends on the amplitude and number of channels activated during a pro-
gram being used. For example, if you use one channel at P1 with an amplitude of 30 mA the non-recharge-
able batteries last approximately 11 hours and rechargeable 7 hours.
REPLACING THE BATTERIES
1. Turn off the stimulator.
2. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the stimulator.
3. Remove the battery cover by sliding it downwards about 1 cm and then lifting it upwards.
4. Remove the batteries.
5. Insert the new batteries correctly according to the polarity markings (+ and –) inside the battery com-
partment, see picture.
6. Replace the battery cover.
7. Dispose of the exhausted batteries in accordance with local and national regulations.
NOTE! Non-rechargeable batteries may not be charged due to the risk of explosion.
