General Operating Instructions

Power On/Off

Press the power switch located on the rear panel of the unit. The self-diagnostic and calibration
function automatically occurs each time the unit is turned on. It is recommended that the unit

Set intensity to minimum power before pressing START.

Basic Treatment Setup

Treatment setup is simple and fast with the Dynatron 850plus and 550plus. Each modality
has default settings that are automatically selected when you press a modality key. The basic
steps for setting up any treatment are:
1. Press a modality key once or twice to choose the desired modality (IFC, Premod,
Russian, Biphasic, High Volt, Micro, Sound, or Combo). The lighted LED on the key
indicates the modality chosen. The first available output channel(s) and default settings
for that modality are automatically selected. For ultrasound and combination treatments,
the soundhead must be connected to the device before selecting Sound or Combo.
2. Plug lead wires or probe cable into the appropriate jack(s) on the device for the
modality to be delivered. Observe which channels the device selected for this
treatment—channels are selected automatically by the device. Attach the electrodes
to the leads, and affix the electrodes to the patient. For unattended stim treatments, attach
the Remote Stop cable, and give the cable to the patient
3. Change any options desired using the toggle keys available for that modality.
4. Increase power or intensity. Current delivery to the patient starts when you increase
intensity. Only do this when you are ready to proceed with the treatment.
5. • For Target treatments only, locate the treatment site using the Target pad.
• For Russian / biphasic two-channel treatments, press Start or the channel toggle key after
setting the intensity for the first channel, then set the intensity for the second channel.
• For Combo treatments, set the parameters for the stim modality (or ultrasound), press
Start, then set parameters for ultrasound (or stim), then press Start again. You can select
the desired stim modality in this step by pressing the desired modality key after pressing
Combo.
6. Press Start. The treatment timer begins.
