Chapter 11 - Troubleshooting
I hear a beep, the RF Stim Unit indicator on the Control Unit
flashes RED, and the stimulation intensity level flashes in the Control
Unit digital display.
If you feel stimulation but the intensity level seems weaker than usual and
ankle movement is unsatisfactory, electrode contact may be compromised.
• Turn off the Control Unit and remove the FS Cuff.
• Thoroughly cleanse the skin, removing dead cells and oils.
• If you are using hydrogel electrodes, remove and replace the
worn electrodes. Press firmly on the new electrodes until they
are securely attached to the bases. Then, remove the covers.
• If you have cloth electrodes, remove the cloth electrodes and wet
them with water until saturated. Blot the snap side of the electrodes
before re-adhering them to the electrode bases.
• Replace hydrogel and cloth electrodes every two weeks.
If you do not feel stimulation:
• Turn off the Control Unit and remove the FS Cuff.
• For hydrogel electrodes, confirm that the covers have been removed.
• For cloth electrodes, remove and wet the cloth electrodes, if they
are dry.
• Make sure the RF Stim Unit is properly snapped into the cradle
on the FS Cuff. Press firmly near the upper edges of the RF Stim
Unit until it is flush with the cradle.
• Make sure the electrode bases are snapped into the plug holes
of the FS Cuff.
