Starting Stimulation Session
Make sure your PowerDot unit is well charged, leads are connected and pads are attached to the
targeted muscle groups in line with the in‐app Pad Placement instructions.
Once you Turn ON your device, Mobile Application will automatically check remaining battery charge
and lead cable connectivity for your PowerDot and will let you know if there are problems detected.
If everything is in order, it will ask you to confirm that you're ready to start you stimulation session by
holding Multi‐Function button on your device (or each of the devices in Duo stimulation mode) for
around half a second.
Once you confirm that you are ready to go, your will see the Stimulation Session screen and ticking
session timer is a good confirmation that your stimulation session have just started.
Controlling Stimulation Session
Muscle Stimulation session is initiated and can be controlled from the Stimulation Session screen:
Intensity Adjustment controls – Intensity Increase (1) and Intensity Decrease (2) are used to adjust
stimulation intensity on a currently selected (visible to you) device.
Device Lock (3) and Channel Lock controls (4) allow you to control stimulation intensities in synchronized
manner between 2 PowerDot devices and/or between 2 stimulation channels on the same device.
When Channel Lock is active (4), stimulation intensity adjustments will be affecting both stimulation
channels simultaneously. When Channel Lock is in inactive state, you get an opportunity to fine tune
intensities for each of the stimulation channels independently. For most of the users and use cases, it
won't be ever needed, however, it's always good to have a fine tuning option, isn't it?
When two PowerDot devices are used simultaneously, user can switch between devices and, when
Device Lock (3) control is inactive, do independent intensity adjustments on the currently selected device.
In general, you would only require different intensity settings for your left and right PowerDots only if
you have significant differences in your sensitivity to stimulation or major differences in the muscle
development between left and right sides of your body (which is also not a case for the majority). For the
simplicity purposes, we advise you to memorize which PowerDot colors you use on which side and just
follow the same pattern when making device color specific adjustments to the intensities.
Main Timer slider (5) can be used to Pause, Resume or Stop stimulation session or to Skip current
stimulation phase (e.g. Warm Up). Just slide Main Timer control to left or right of the screen in order to
select your required option.
WARNING! Always use your own feelings as guidance when you increase intensities during
stimulation. Although, for some of the programs we advise to run stimulations at maximum intensities
you can tolerate, If, to some reason, you experience major discomfort or pain – consider PAUSING your
