CES Ultra Operating Manual
continued Recommended Usage The appropriate length and frequency of treatment is that prescribed by your health care professional. The standard is once or twice daily for 30-60 minutes for the first month; and afterwards, or once symptoms have subsided or are eliminated, two or three times weekly Those suffering from severe anxiety may find it necessary to use their unit more frequently, perhaps several times daily. When symptoms of anxiety or depression have lessened and disappeared, your until should still be employed for relapse prevention on an as-needed basis. It is important that you work in close consultation with your physician or health care professional to determine the role that CES plays in your overall treatment program. Timing The unit has a built-in timer. You may set the unit for 30 minutes, 45 minutes or continuous. This can only be done when you first turn the unit on. The unit is automatically set for 30 minutes. For a 45 minute session, press the timer button once; for a continuous session, press twice. At the conclusion of a timed session, the current will cease and the light will flicker. You should then turn the knob to the off position. To use the unit immediately at the conclusion of a timed session, turn the unit off, wait a few seconds then turn the unit back on again. Battery Replacement If the lights should begin to dim or flicker, or if the current flow beings to diminish, the battery is probably low and needs to be replaced. The CES Ultra uses a standard 9 volt alkaline battery available at all supermarkets and drugstores. Battery life is approximately 20 hours. Under ordinary usage, this should provide 30-50 sessions. Electrodes With care, electrodes may be used for multiple treatments. (By the same person) this life may be extended by returning them to the plastic card after use and not exposing them to the open air. Adding a little water or electrode gel (available at drug or medical supply stores) helps considerably. Remember, however, that electrodes are disposable.

Disposable snap-on electrodes for one time use are available for clinical settings, and are available together with the appropriate lead-wire from this web site.
