• Power Switch to “On”
• Polarity to “Normal”
• Pulse Width to “150”
STEP 3—GET ACQUAINTED WITH THE FEEL OF THERAPY
STEP 4—LOCATE THE EXACT PAIN AREA
Moisten the palm of the hand with clean tap water using a moist towel. Place the device on the palm of the hand and slowly increase intensity from “0” to the highest comfortable setting. Tingling or vibration sensation is normal. Repeat this step with Pulse Width set at 230. Higher settings decrease treatment time.
Locate the most sensitive pain point by pressing around the pain area until the most painful point is found.
For larger pain areas see Step 7.
STEP 5—MOISTEN SKIN OR APPLY GEL
STEP 6—APPLY THERAPY TO PAIN
Moisten the skin in the area of pain with gel or clean tap water using a moist towel. (Apply a small amount of “Spectra 360 Gel” as needed. Water alone provides good conduction for most users.)
Place the device over the most sensitive pain area. Set the intensity to “0” and choose the pulse width. Turn the power on and slowly increase the intensity to the highest comfortable setting. Press and hold as shown for 2–4 minutes or as needed to relieve pain.
STEP 7—APPLYING THERAPY TO LARGER PAIN AREAS
A: If the pain area is larger than ¾ inch, repeat Step 6 by positioning the device to the left and to the right of the original position. Be sure to reduce the intensity to “0” when changing positions.
Note: Position 1 is the original position. Position 2 is roughly ¾ inch to the left.
B: Continue to change positions across the pain area to provide therapy to the entire area. Do not exceed 30 minutes overall treatment time in one session.
Note: Position 2 is roughly ¾ inch to the left of the original position. Position 3 is roughly ¾ inch to the right.
HELPFUL HINTS
• The treatment time varies with the level of pain and will vary from person to person.
• Always press while holding and do not set the Intensity higher than is comfortable for you. Higher Intensity levels will normally shorten treatment time but comfort during treatment is highly important.
• Once you use the device a few times, you will quickly get acquainted with the best methods and treatment times for best results.
5 SECRETS FOR SUCCESSFUL PAIN RELIEF
1. ALWAYS PRESET THE INTENSITY CONTROL TO ZERO BEFORE AND AFTER USING
Before pressing Solis to your skin, make sure the Intensity is set at zero or you may feel an initial uncomfortable tingling. Start treatment by gradually increasing the Intensity to the maximum tolerable level and stay at that setting during treatment. The maximum tolerable level may vary with each treatment session.
2. ALWAYS MOISTEN THE SKIN BEFORE USING
Moistening the skin with gel or water is necessary to maximize conduction of the gentle low voltage electrical pulses from Solis. This electrical stimulation of the nerve blocks the pain signals to the brain to alleviate symptoms.
3. EXPECT A PERIOD OF ADJUSTMENT
After using Solis for a while, you will be able to locate symptom areas much easier. You will become accustomed to the tingling sensation during treatment and be able to use Solis quickly and more effectively. With continued use, you should also be able to use it comfortably at higher Intensity levels which will reduce your treatment time.
4. ALWAYS TREAT THE ENTIRE PAIN CENTER
Press the finger on and around the pain center to determine its size. Be sure to repeat treatment with Solis as needed by moving the device in ¾ inch steps to treat the entire pain center.
5. BE SURE TO READ THE OPERATION MANUAL
We want you to get the very best results from using Solis. Please read your User Manual before using. This Manual was designed to help you get the most benefit from your Solis.
