Device-level Intensities Lock
Channel-level Intensities Lock controls
synchronize intensity changes either
a) between the two stimulation channels
of one PowerDot device; or b) when two
PowerDot devices are in use (this applies
only to the Duo stimulation mode, which
involves two PowerDot devices).
Both controls are enabled by default and
can be used to finetune the intensity of
your current stimulation session. However,
it's best to use them only when you really
need them (e.g. for a better balance
between your left and right sides, or when
your muscles are not evenly developed).
Use Stop ( ), Pause ( ), Resume ( ), Skip
Phase ( ) controls for your stimulation.
Skip Phase ( ) control allows to switch
from Warm Up to Main Phase or from
Main Phase to Recovery.
Timer indicator displays the remaining
time for the total stimulation session (for
all remaining phases) as well as time left
for the currently active stimulation phase.
Contraction/Rest Indicator -
programs and phases involving muscle
contractions, helps to understand time
between and during contraction and rest
intervals.
and Auto-Step Up Indicator and Auto-Step
Up Control - for programs and phases
involving muscle contractions, allows to
turn on or turn off automatic one step
increase in stimulation intensities after
every few muscle contractions.

Auto-Step Up is a helpful feature for
performance training as muscle fibers
are getting used to stimulation intensity
levels and, for maximum effectiveness,
regular intensity adjustments up are
strongly recommended.
Pre-contraction Alerts: configure Audio
Signal and/or Vibrate Signal alerts
to notify you 1 to 5 seconds ahead of next
muscle contraction (use Time Before
Alerts control to configure alert
timing). This is a helpful feature to use
if you are performing dynamic exercises
during stimulation.
TERMINATING STIMULATION
It's important to know the quick ways to
end your stimulation when something
unexpected happens (e.g. one of the pads
gets detached; the intensity increases
unexpectedly; the stimulation area gets
wet, etc.).
There are 3 main ways to immediately
terminate stimulation:
• The recommended/most commonly used
option: Tap Pause ( ) or Stop ( ) on
the Stimulation screen
• Alternatively: Press the Multifunction
Button on your PowerDot (or on any
PowerDot when in Duo mode)
• Only in emergencies: Unplug the lead
cable from PowerDot.
You can always resume
emergency suspended
stimulation session by
quickly double clicking
Multifunction Button on
the device.
CARRYING & STORING
POWERDOT
PowerDot carry case is specifically
designed for carrying and storing your
PowerDot device, cables and electrode
pads.
To keep electrode pads clean and make
them last longer, always re-attach them to
the safety film in between uses, then store
them in your carrying case pocket. You
can use both sides of a single safety film
to attach one set of PowerDot electrode
pads (one side for the rectangular pad
and the other for the two round pads).
DEACTIVATING POWERDOT
PowerDot PD-01M can be deactivated
and unpaired from a mobile phone either
from within the Mobile Application or by
manually deactivating the device.
