Auto-Step Up Indicator 

 and 

Auto-Step 

Up Control 

 - for programs and phases 

involving muscle contractions, allows to 
turn on or turn off automatic one step 
increase in stimulation intensities after 
every few muscle contractions. 

Device-level Intensities Lock   

and 

Channel-level Intensities Lock controls

 

synchronize intensity changes either 

a) 

between the two stimulation channels 

of one PowerDot device; or 

b)

 when two 

PowerDot devices are in use (this applies 
only to the Duo stimulation mode, which 
involves two PowerDot devices).
Both controls are enabled by default and 
can be used to finetune the intensity of 
your current stimulation session. However,
it’s best to use them only when you really 
need them (e.g. for a better balance 
between your left and right sides, or when 
your muscles are not evenly developed).

Use Stop ( ), Pause ( ), Resume ( ), Skip 
Phase ( ) controls for your stimulation. 
Skip Phase ( ) control allows to switch 
from 

Warm Up

 to 

Main Phase

 or from 

Main Phase

 to 

Recovery

.

Timer indicator   

displays the remaining 

time for the total stimulation session (for 
all remaining phases) as well as time left
for the currently active stimulation phase.

Contraction/Rest Indicator 

 - for 

programs and phases involving muscle 
contractions, helps to understand time 
between and during contraction and rest 
intervals.

Auto-Step Up is a helpful feature for 
performance training as muscle fibers 
are getting used to stimulation intensity 
levels and, for maximum effectiveness, 
regular intensity adjustments up are 
strongly recommended.

Pre-contraction Alerts:

 configure 

Audio 

Signal 

 

and/or 

Vibrate Signal 

 alerts 

to notify you 1 to 5 seconds ahead of next 
muscle contraction (use 

Time Before 

Alerts

 control   to configure alert 

timing). This is a helpful feature to use 
if you are performing dynamic exercises 
during stimulation.

TERMINATING STIMULATION

It’s important to know the quick ways to 
end your stimulation when something 
unexpected happens (e.g. one of the pads 
gets detached; the intensity increases 
unexpectedly; the stimulation area gets 
wet, etc.).

There are 3 main ways to immediately 
terminate stimulation:

• 

The recommended/most commonly used 

option:

 Tap 

Pause ( )

 or 

Stop     ( )

 on 

the Stimulation screen

• 

Alternatively:

 Press the 

Multifunction 

Button

 on your PowerDot (or on any 

PowerDot when in Duo mode)

• 

Only in emergencies:

 Unplug the lead 

cable from PowerDot.

You can always resume 
emergency suspended 
stimulation session by 
quickly double clicking 
Multifunction Button on 
the device.

   CARRYING & STORING 

       POWERDOT

PowerDot carry case is specifically 
designed for carrying and storing your 
PowerDot device, cables and electrode 
pads.
To keep electrode pads clean and make 
them last longer, always re-attach them to 
the safety film in between uses, then store 
them in your carrying case pocket. You 
can use both sides of a single safety film 
to attach one set of PowerDot electrode 
pads (one side for the rectangular pad 
and the other for the two round pads).

   DEACTIVATING POWERDOT

PowerDot PD-01M can be deactivated 
and unpaired from a mobile phone either 
from within the 

Mobile Application

 or by 

manually deactivating the device.
