Note: Don’t pull the strap too tightly; it could result in poor circulation. The device functions best when touching the skin gently. 4. Using the Device a. Test the function of the device before use.
Operating the Unit 7 Note: Due to variations in skin sensitivity, you may not feel the electrical impulse. In that case, press the test button 3 times in repetition, and adjust the intensity to the level you like. If you still don't feel the impulse when you set the highest intensity, rotate the unit around your wrist so that it sits on the inner side of your wrist instead. 3.
Operating the Unit 8 d. The device’s unique design can automatically detect snores above 65 dB when there are no other loud background noises. Background noises should be below 55dB when using the Stop Snoring Device. 5.After Use To prevent damage of the self-adhesive electrode pads: Unhook the wrist strap and gently detach the device from your wrist (see picture I). After you take off the device, stick the plastic film back onto the electrode pads.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting a. The self-adhesive electrode pads should be kept clean. In order to maintain the device’s performance, DO NOT rub the electrode pads with your hands, facial tissue, or wool. b. The electrode pads tend to lose their adhesion over time, therefore weakening the intensity level. Moisten finger with a few drops of water and rub it gently against the electrode pads to improve contact. c.
Caution 10 1. The intensity level volume should be adjusted to ZERO before use. 2. DO NOT wear the device if the self-adhesive electrode pads are not stuck to it. Also, when you are pressing the test button, DO NOT touch the conductive rubber or electrode pads with your fingers. 3. DO NOT wash your hands when you are wearing the device. It is not waterproof. 4. When you are wearing the wrist strap, DO NOT pull the strap too tightly, or the lifespan of device will be shortened. 5.

User’s FAQ 12 1. Q : Does the Stop Snoring Device really work ? A: Snoring is caused when the airway is too narrow. When we sleep, our muscles are relaxed. As air moves through the narrow airway during breathing, it causes the soft tissues of the throat (tonsils, soft palate & uvula) to vibrate. This vibration creates the sound of snoring. Generally, snoring can be reduced if the snorer changes his/her sleeping position or is given a slight nudge by his/her bedmate.
User’s FAQ 13 Stop Snoring Device targets the source of indoor background noise. You may read the following table to see the optimal sleeping conditions for use.

User’s FAQ 14 4. When I ‘simulate’ the snores in a silent background, why does the device not work? A: Since the Stop Snoring Device special biosensor is designed according to the biophysical properties of snoring, you can try to ‘simulate’ it by saying a long 1, 2, 3 or producing 3 consecutive snores with the same frequency and at least above 65 dB. 5. Why do I feel one long stimulation? Is something wrong with the device? A: This is a special built-in design.
