Adaptor and Battery Information
9-volt AC Adaptor
Because the current consumption is high for the IF unit, it is recommended to use the
9-volt AC adaptor. Place the AC plug into the AC jack of the unit, and plug the adaptor into a
110-volt wall outlet. Please be sure to use the correct polarity for the AC plug.
Battery
A 9-volt disposable battery is also provided with your unit. When the low-battery indicator
appears, the battery has become too weak to power the unit and will need to be changed.
At this point, the unit will shut off until a new battery is inserted.
Note: Due to the high output of this device, the 9-volt battery will run out of power
quickly. The 9-volt AC adaptor is the recommended power source.
Changing the Battery
When the low-battery indicator appears on the LCD panel, the battery should be replaced
with a new battery.
1. Remove the slide cover by pressing the top and sliding down until it is completely
removed from the unit. This will reveal the battery compartment.
2. Remove the old battery from the device.
3. Place a new battery in the compartment. Note the proper polarity alignment
indicated on the battery and the compartment.
4. Make sure to safely dispose of the old battery.
Troubleshooting
If the device does not function properly:
1. Make sure the battery is properly installed, or replace the battery. Be sure to
observe proper polarity markings when replacing the battery. If the low-battery
indicator appears when the unit is turned on, replace the battery and recheck.
2. If the intensity has been adjusted and there is no stimulation, check that the lead
wires are properly connected and the electrodes are in place. If the unit appears to
be functioning and no stimulation occurs, the lead wires or electrodes may need to
be replaced.
3. If the battery appears to be charged and the unit is not functioning, turn both
Amplitude Control Knobs to the OFF position (counterclockwise) for about 5
seconds. Next, gradually turn the Amplitude Control Knobs clockwise until
stimulation is felt. If device is still is not working, turn the unit off and contact
BodyMed.
