Also, check all interconnecting leads before re-applying the output to the
patient. Note that in soft water areas it may be necessary to add a small amount
of bicarbonate of soda to the water used to wet the sponges to achieve adequate
contact.
During the last 5 seconds of treatment the interferential output is smoothly
reduced to zero.
When the treatment time reaches zero, then the time display will flash and the
unit will give an intermittent alarm until the interferential output control is
returned to its OFF position.

5. COMBINATION THERAPY
ultrasound and interferential sections are set in the same way as for the
individual modalities by moving the highlight bar to the treatment parameter to
be changed and using the left and right keys to modify the setting. When the
highlight bar reaches the bottom of the ultrasound section (average / peak
power setting) the next down cursor press moves to the 'Time'symbol in the
interferential section.
All information and instructions in the preceeding sections on ultrasound and
interferential treatment still apply for combination treatment.
Set the interferential treatment time to be greater than the required ultrasound
treatment time. It is also recommended that the intereferential output mode is
set to constant voltage (CV).
When all the treatment parameters are set, connect the 2-way interferential lead
to the interferential output socket. Attach one electrode near to the injury site
and connect it to the 'yellow'socket of the junction box of the 2-way lead.
Connect the ultrasound transducer to the ultrasound output socket. The face of
the ultrasound transducer is internally connected to the 'blue'output of the
2-way interferential lead.
