    3.STIMULATION MODES The mode switch offers three stimulation modes. The mode switch is located under the front lid cover and you can shift the "MODE" switch to adjust the mode. Be sure that when adjusting these stimulation modes, the intensity (Amplitude) output controls are set to the minimum output positions.
  • Page 11 3.2 NORMAL Mode: The Normal mode produces a continuous train of impulses. The stimulation parameters are not automatically interrupted nor varied in any way. In this mode, the pulse rate (from 2 to 150Hz) and pulse width (from 60 to 250µs) are fully adjustable. The normal mode is quite versatile because it may be applied with a variety of rate and width settings.
