Note that the connector can only be inserted
into the main unit in one orientation. For the
right orientation, match up the key shape of
the connector with the key shaped hole in the
main unit.
4. If using the optional carbon rubber
electrodes, insert the electrodes into damp
sponge holders.
STEP 3. Apply the electrodes.
Apply the electrodes in the appropriate
position. If using rubber electrodes they may
be attached using surgical tape or double
sided velcro bandages available from our
website. Make sure that the area requiring
treatment is between the pair of electrodes
from one lead wire. The electrode positioning
should always be determined by a skilled
therapist.
If using two channels remember that the
channels are not isolated from each other.
Take care to ensure that the electrodes are
positioned so that current cannot flow across
the chest even in the event that one of a pair
of electrodes falls off.
Interferential Mode
STEP 4. Turn on Acticare IC.
Press and release the ON/OFF
turn on the main unit. The current mode will
be displayed. If in VAR mode a scrolling list of
the current settings will also be shown.
If you wish you can change the therapy mode
at this point. Press
to enter the Therapy Mode menu and follow
the instructions on page 10.
Check that the IC icon is shown to indicate
that the device is in interferential mode.

Caution. Acticare IC is as powerful
as most mains powered desktop
electrotherapy equipment despite its
small size. Make sure that the
electrodes are paired up correctly,
with the treatment area(s) positioned
between a pair of electrodes
attached to the same lead wire.
Ensure that current cannot flow
through or across the chest or head.
