Increasing the current Intensity can only be changed once the session is running (countdown timer is counting down). You MUST increase the current to an effective level. This is done by pressing the Arrow Up on the right hand side of the device. Every time you press this button, the intensity will increase by 10 uAmp until you reach 200 uAmp. After that, intensity will increase in steps of 50 uAmp. You can also depress AND hold the Arrow Up key to increase the intensity more rapidly. The Arrow Down key, just below the Arrow Up key on the right, has the opposite effect.

Starting the programme Once the electrodes are in place (see below), you can start the programme by pressing the BOTTOM half of the central button. The countdown timer will begin counting. If you want to stop a treatment session midway, for whatever reason, simply press the bottom half of the central button a second time.

Plugging in the leads   At the top left corner of your Elexoma, there are two output channels, marked I and II. You can use either output channel to plug your treatment lead in (the Elexoma automatically detects which channel is “active”). You will find that the treatment lead fits in one way only. If you wish to use MET on two body areas at the same time, you can plug an MET lead in either channel. If you are using both channels at the same time, please note that you have to DOUBLE the current output to get the desired effect. In other words, if you want to treat two areas simultaneously with 600 uAmp, then you have to set the Elexoma to provide 1,200 uAmp. Rest assured: You cannot shock yourself! Note: You CANNOT run a CES and MET session at the SAME time.

Switching Off & the Display Screen Watch Listen Read Switching off the Elexoma There is no OFF-switch. If the device is inactive for about 30 seconds, it will turn itself off. The Display Screen The Elexoma display screen can be somewhat confusing, but focus on four things only: Programme setting Once the Elexoma is on, the top half of the central silver button cycles through the 8 preset programm–es. Every time you press the top half of the central button, you will see a different number displayed to the left of the countdown timer (“1” in our example above). The preset programmes are discussed in some detail on page 11 of your Users manual. For now, all you need to know is that Programme 1 is used for CES and the other 7 programmes are used for MET. This is over-simplification, but this is a Quick-start guide, after all. Count-down timer The countdown timer is preset for the various programmes. To start your treatment, press the bottom half of the central silver button. The countdown timer will start. If you press the bottom half of the central button a second time, while the countdown timer is running, a short double beep will signal the end of treatment and the countdown timer is reset to its default value. Intensity Intensity is displayed in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. When treatment is initiated, it begins at 10 uAmp. Battery level indicator This is displayed just above the intensity setting, on the right hand side of the screen. It is not very accurate, unfortunately. You have about 15 hours of treatment life in the batteries after a single charge, so it is a good idea to recharge your batteries every three weeks or so (with normal use).    

Getting started – the basics Watch Listen Read Switching on the Elexoma The large, round silver button in the middle of the Elexoma is the ON-switch (among other things). Press the top half of the button and the Elexoma should make a shrill, piercing noise (assuming the batteries are in and charged). Sorry about the noise – you can shorten the duration of the “beep” by pressing the bottom half of the silver button shortly after the beeping begins. By the way, some devices lose their beep sound after a while (but they continue to function normally in all other respects). If this silence bothers you, you are more than welcome to return the device and we will send you a noisy one again.
