  • Page 16: Getting Started

    Getting Started Although many individuals use the SaeboStim Spa for their feet, the instructions below are also applicable for the hands. For convenience purposes, the foot application will be described below. Step 1: Powering the Device To charge the SaeboStim Spa, connect the Power Cord to the Power Adaptor and insert the cord into the bottom of the device between the 2 Ports.
  • Page 17 Note: The first charge will take approximately 16 hours and typically 8-10 hours from there. Since it is a Li-ion battery, never let the battery go to zero, and charge periodically even if not used. Li-ion batteries, if well maintained are good for 4-5 years before degrading.
  • Page 18 Step 3: Connecting Lead Wires to Carbon Rubber Electrodes Connect the pin side of the Lead Wires to the 2” Carbon Rubber Electrodes. See Figure 8. Note: This system includes custom Lead Wires and Rubber Electrodes. If you need to replace your Lead Wires or Electrodes, only use the manufacture versions.
  • Page 19 Step 4: Preparing the Conductive Foot Bath A. Fill each side of the Foot Bath to ankle height (typically fill half-way full of water), with warm water (or cool if you prefer) and place in front of where you will be sitting for your treatment.
  • Page 20 C. Add 1 Effervescent Tablet to each side of the Foot Bath and stir. The Tablets help improve dry feet, as it contains collagen, vitamin C, and other moisturizing agents. In addition, the Tablet also contains menthol to provide a topical analgesic effect.
  • Page 21 Step 5: Using the Device Important: If using for your feet, remove any jewelry around your feet or ankles. Do the same if treating your hands. Submerge the red Carbon Rubber Electrode (Port 2) so it is completely underwater. Place electrode on same side as the affected foot.
  • Page 22 Why Use Port 2 on the Affected Side? The SaeboStim Spa program includes a specialized therapeutic waveform which consists of Port 2 being more “active” during the session, thus, maximizing therapeutic results. Note 1: the above steps are the same if using for your hands instead of the feet. Note 2: The red and black Electrodes should not touch during treatment nor should they touch your feet.
  • Page 23 Step 7: Choose Body Part The Feet program is automatically selected (i.e., left arrow highlighted). If you would like to use the SaeboStim Spa for hands, then select “Hand” by tapping the right arrow. See Figure 15. Step 8: Start Treatment The advanced program automatically starts once the user increases the intensity level.

  • Page 24: Treatment Frequency

    Step 9: Powering the Device Off The SaeboStim Spa will automatically power off when treatment is completed. Ensure that the unit is turned off before removing the Electrode Pads from the Foot Bath. After use, dry the Pads and store. There is no need to disconnect the Pads from the lead wires between sessions.
