Page 3 PEMF. For you as a user of PEMF technology it is fine to use the terms pps and Hz interchangeably. But as a scientist, I believe I have the responsibility of adhering to more precise technical terminology. The B5 is a scientific instrument, so I feel obligated to describe its performance with an appropriate level of scientific precision.

Page 10 POWER/RESET Button • Or, if you draw too much power, such as at POWER UP for the B5 when it draws the most power, about 2 Amps, the battery pack may automatically shut down if it detects an over-current error. This protects the battery from self destructing.

Page 13 • The B5 can only be adjusted within the first Power ON 15 seconds of power-up. After that, it initiates the AUTO-RUN sequence. • Once the B5 is running, you can not adjust the settings. This is to prevent accidental changes to settings if you are wearing the device.

Page 25 Start simple, grow toward more complexity The B5 is designed for everyone, at every level, to grow with each individual who needs the power of PEMF. With the B5, you get easy access to the best technology with the flip of a switch, or you can tailor it to your needs from...
Page 26 General Guidelines: WHAT TO EXPECT Please do not get discouraged or frustrated by the sophistication of the B5. If it sounds complicated, that is because it is a complex device. When these technical details are discussed with most other PEMF manufacturers, their eyes glaze over.
Page 27: General Guidelines
General Guidelines The B5 has 8 built-in ICES protocols. More may be added in the future. To get more protocols in the future when they are released, you will need to send your B5 back for reprogramming to check your hardware and update the firmware.
Page 28 B5 is easy and very fast. If you don’t think about it beforehand, and you want to just decide as you go, you will find the B5 is very frustrating to use. You only have 5 seconds on each screen. This is plenty of time if you know what you want, but...
Page 29 If the timer runs out or if you make a mistake you just need to power the B5 OFF then ON, and you will start again right where you left off. At first this seems annoying, but you will get...
Page 30 General Guidelines: The Structure of Protocols Each of the built-in protocols has one or more modes. Each mode is a pattern of pulses that runs for a certain period of time. Each mode had a default time setting programmed in minutes. For example, the A9 protocol has three modes: Mode_1 = 5 pulses per second (pps), alternating polarity Mode_2 = a burst of 5 pulses at 100 pps, one burst per second,...
Page 31 At the end of the last mode, the B5 starts again with the first mode. The B5 will continue to cycle through each mode: 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, ……. Each mode runs for a defined time “t” in minutes.
Page 32 PEMF systems as safe and effective, to be used by prescription. Micro-Pulse ICES products are NOT FDA approved for any use. The B5 is a scientific instrument designed to allow you to experiment and explore these effects for...
Page 33 You can adjust the time of each mode to any number of minutes, ranging from 0 minutes to 255 minutes. When you set a mode to 0 minutes, the B5 will just skip over that mode.
Page 34 The second mode (100+ pps) will run for 10 minutes (this is the default setting, you did not change it) The B5 will skip right past the third mode since you set it to 0 minutes The B5 will remember your changes, so the next time you use the A9 protocol, it will remember and use these new settings.
Page 35 Usually you will start in the low power range until you get accustomed to higher levels of power. When you first use the B5, the HOLD protocol has a single mode that looks like this by default: HOLD at 10.0 pps...
Page 36 Then you ADJUST the HOLD protocol to 4.0 seconds with the yellow and blue (up and down) keys on the ADJUST PROTOCOL screen until it says “HOLD at 4.00 pps”. Then you just press the RUN button (red key) and the B5 will begin pulsing at 4.00 pps. The result is as follows: The B5 will run continuously at 4.00 pps until you shut it OFF...
Page 37 Then you just press the RUN button (red key) and the B5 will begin pulsing at the lowest frequency. The result is as follows: The B5 will ramp up from 0.6 pps to 3.6 pps in ten equal frequency steps over a period of 7 minutes, then back down over 7 minutes, …...

Page 72: Reset To Default
B5, join the club! I have done this hundreds of times. Here is how you fix it: ***Reset to Default*** This resets the B5 to the settings originally programmed into it. Bad news: it forgets all your changes. Good news: it forgets all your changes.
Page 73 I suggest you just start again by powering OFF then ON. The B5 will remember the last change you made, so just work your way back to that screen, then you can adjust it and move on.

Page 76 ADVANCED SYSTEM DIGNOSTICS • Once the B5 is in RUN mode, the buttons can no longer be used to change the protocol settings. • This is to assure that settings do not inadvertently change while the system is operating. • While operating, the green LED will flash or toggle ON/OFF for every pulse.
