Do not apply electrodes over or across the right and left temporal regions, or use the ActivaDose® II Iontophoresis Delivery Unit and electrodes for treatment of the orbital region. Doing so may cause transient visual disturbances. Patients with known sensitivity to electrical current should be treated with lower current settings than those recommended for general use. - Page 4 C. Turning the Dose Controller ON and OFF: The dose controller can be turned ON by depressing the On/Dose/Start knob OR turning it clockwise. The unit can be turned OFF by depressing the On/Dose/Start knob. Note: If a treatment is being performed and the unit is turned off, it will automatically ramp down prior to shut-off.
