To increase strength in steps of 1 mA,
press and release the top part of the
channel buttons, CH1▲ and CH2▲.
The strength levels are shown on the
LCD.
The strength control buttons will not
operate until the unit is properly
connected to you. If the Eva detects
a disconnection in either channel it
will automatically return the strength
to zero in that channel and flash '00'.
The unit has 90 levels of strength
except for the facial programmes
(FACE 1 and FACE 2), which only go
up to 40 mA (40 steps).
If you hold down the strength controls
for 3 to 5 seconds, the strength will start
increasing continuously.
You may feel nothing over the first few
presses. Continue pressing until the
sensation is strong but comfortable. At
each phase of the programme the
intensity automatically adjusts to give a
comfortable
stimulation,
further increases during use may be
necessary if your body becomes used
to the sensation. To decrease the
strength, press and release the lower
part of the buttons marked CH1▼ and
CH2▼.
Caution: should be observed
when using the EVA at high
strength settings. EVA has a
Yellow LED light on output socket which
means the output will exceed 10 mA
(R.M.S) or 10 V (R.M.S) averaged over
any period of 1 sec. Prolonged use at
high settings may cause muscle injury
or tissue inflammation.
