Introduction

• Congratulations on your purchase of the CES Ultra™, the non-pharmacological alternative for the treatments and prevention of anxiety, depression, and insomnia.  This stat-of-the-art biomedical instrument is to be employed as part of a larger treatment program under the supervision of a physician or healthcare professional who should be consulted regularly as to its use. 

Contents

• Included in your carrying case are the base unit, two bilateral electrode lead-wires, a nine volt alkaline battery, two zero-resistance conductive ear-clips, a package of four electrodes, a water bottle, and a registration/warranty card.

Preparation/Operation

• Unless you have been instructed in an alternate placement by our physician or healthcare professional, the standard treatment site is the soft area between the jaw and the ears, just below the earlobes on each side of the head.  Before beginning treatment, it is helpful to clean the area with mild soap and water or rubbing alcohol to remove any natural skin oils, makeup, or foreign substances that might act as an insulator.  Dry thoroughly.

1. Pick up the electrode lead-wire.  The lead-wire has two electrode pins, one on each end and a single male plug on the other.  Gently insert the lead-wire plug into the back on the top of your unit.
2. Open the package of electrodes.  Insert the lead-wire pins into the pre-attached connectors of two of the electrodes leaving no bare metal exposed.
3. Carefully peel two electrodes off the plastic car one at a time   Place one on each side of the head in the soft area, between the jaw and the ear, just below the earlobe.  Press securely to ensure proper adhesion.  To decrease the pull on the electrodes, gently spread open the "Y" of the lead-wire to the desired length.

CAUTION:  NEVER pull on the electrode wire.  This could damage or destroy the electrode.

CAUTION:  Care should be taken to insure that electrodes stay behind the earlobes and not slip downward on the neck.  They should also not be applied to broken or scarred skin.

Ear-clips

• You may use the enclosed ear-clips as an alternative to the electrodes, one on each lobe.  Employing the same lead-wire, slide the pin end of each lead-wire into the opening on the side of each ear-clip.  Employing the same lead-wire, slide the pin end of each lead-wire into the opening on the side of each ear-clip.  Employing the same lead-wire, slide the pin end into the opening on the side of each ear-clip.  Prior to use, the conductive rubber surface of each clip should be moistened with saline solution (contact lens cleaner) or salt water.  If a saline solution is not available, tap water will do.  It is important that the conductive rubber be as wet as possible, moisten after every half hour of use.  Clips should be replaced when worn or dirty.

4.       To operate the unit, turn the amplitude now to the right until the unit clicks, and the red light comes on.  Slowly turn the know to the right until you feel a slight tingling sensation.  If comfortable, leave the setting at that point for the duration of the treatment.  If you prefer no sensation, turn the knob to the left, leaving it just below the point at which you first experienced the tingle.  As long as the unit is on whether you feel it or not, you are still receiving the benefits.

If you prefer more sensation, turn the know to the right.  Increasing the amplitude has no know contraindications.  The most important factor in determining the setting is your own personal comfort.

One side may feel "stronger" than the other.  This does not mean that your unit isn't working properly and should not be cause for concern.  Often the side which feels the greater sensation is the side of the body under greater stress.  A simple turn of the head to the left and then to the right often result in the current switching positions.

Dip-switch Addendum

Your unit is currently set at 100Hz, the frequency of choice.  It should remain set there at all times.  There is a dip-switch in the battery compartment, allowing you to access an alternate frequency of 0.35Hz. This is primarily a research frequency and should be set only by our licensed health practitioner.  The effect of the alternate frequency is very different than the 100Hz.  It is suggested that you not intermix the two frequencies.  Use one frequency for an extended period of time (one or two weeks); determine which you prefer most and then stay with it.  If you have any questions, discuss them with your health care provider.

As with the 100Hz, the 0.35Hz configuration can be used with either the ear-clips or the electrodes.  See the instructions above.

Again, turn the amplitude knob to the right until the unit click on.  Slowly turn the know to the right until you feel a slight tingling sensation. Unlike the 100Hz, however, the 0.35Hz results in only a very faint tingle, if any.  Its effect is quit different but in some ways, more dramatic.  It often results in light-headedness or what some have characterized as a "cup of wine sensation."  Advancing the control too fast may result in a slight feeling of dizziness; in which case you should reduce the amplitude, turning the knob to the let.  If you prefer a greater sensation, increase the amplitude, turning the knob further to the right.  You can increase the amplitude with no know negative effects.  find the position that feels best to you.
