Getting Started • The best way to get started with the M1 is just to use it on the default settings. If this is what you want to do, follow the directions on the next page (Quick Start Guide). • The model M will remember your most recent settings from the last time you used the device.

Model M Quick Start Guide Insert freshly charged battery (DLI88) Insert coils fully When GREEN LED is flashing, unit is operating correctly Set switch to “battery” position (down) Wait 2 seconds for screen to clear It will sweep all white then black Press RED button 3 times firmly...
INSERTING A NEW BATTERY • Insert a fully-charged battery as shown, making sure to line up the gold spring pins on the device with the gold contact pads on the battery. The battery will snap into place. Push leftward and pull up on the back of the battery (green arrow) to snap it out again when it needs to be recharged.
Battery Life • The battery life depends mainly upon two factors: • The intensity setting. The higher the intensity, the shorter the battery life. • The age of the battery: Brand new batteries can be recharged hundreds of times, but each time they lose a small amount of capacity. As soon as your batteries start to bulge out a bit from the sides or do not last as long as they once did, it’s time to start thinking about ordering a new set of batteries.

General Guidelines: Selecting a Protocol The Micro-Pulse Model M1 allows self experimentation by responsible adults. It is not a marketing gimmick. We do not provide pre-programmed protocols to: Enhance sleep Amplify your brain power Connect you with the Earth Mother Goddess...

List of Available Protocols on the model M1 Standard ICES Protocols: Constant Frequency (continuous): -- B5 – C5 -- 1 pps -- A9 original -- 2 pps -- P2 (SomaPulse, AllevaWave, …) -- 3 pps -- Omni 8 (same as Omni 1, but not adjustable) -- 4 pps all of the above also have an optional 5 minute rest -- 5 pps...

A few comments on the history of ICES protocols… • This is not clinical advice, it is intended only for informational purposes. • The original NASA research was done using the following protocols: • (1996 – 2001) 5 pps and 10 pps continuous (along with other waveforms determined to have no biological effect, and therefore not included in the ICES technology beyond gen 1.0) •...

History of ICES protocols, continued… • This is not clinical advice, it is intended only for informational purposes. • The Schumann protocols were developed in 2016 for the models B5, C5, and M1, at the request of numerous bio-hackers. Though many people find these protocols useful, I remain skeptical.

History of ICES protocols, continued… • This is not clinical advice, it is intended only for informational purposes. • The continuous pulse protocols (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10 pps) have been used from the very beginning of ICES research, and continue to be used in controlled scientific studies, such as the 2017 Cortical Metrics –...

History of ICES protocols, continued… • This is not clinical advice, it is intended only for informational purposes. • The scTMS protocols are included at the request of many people. • These protocols have never been evaluated using ICES technology, but some users report that they find them useful.

Schumann Resonance Protocols • Many people want to experiment with Schumann Resonances. While I do agree that these frequencies are within a biologically beneficial range for tissues, I do not think it is because they are exactly in resonance with the earth-ionosphere resonant cavity.
Page 28
Constant Frequency Protocols • The model M1 can generate a several constant output pulse frequencies. For most applications I recommend the use of one of the four standard protocols (B5-C5, P2, A9, Omni-8) to avoid tissue accommodation which can reduce the tissue response over time if a stimulus signal is monotonic and unchanging.

Stimulation. TMS was approved by the FDA for the treatment of depression in 2008, but this was only for approved TMS devices using a specific high-intensity protocol: rTMS. No Micro-Pulse device is approved for this purpose. • If you have, or believe you have, depression, you must seek professional clinical advice. This is no substitute for professional clinical advice.

CNS/cortex “Brain Wave” Protocols • These Wave protocols all gently ramp between two frequencies over a specified ramp time. • The gentle frequency sweep is intended to be similar to natural brain wave patterns. • The use of these wave patterns is totally experimental, we do not know the effects, it is not proven safe, and is intended for adult self-hackers only.
