Treatment Sessions
1. Insert (4) AA batteries or (1) battery pack into the FastStart
®
IF as shown in
the battery compartment and then replace the battery door. If desired, use
the AC adapter that came with your FastStart IF instead of batteries.
2. Prepare the skin: Wash the electrode application sites with mild soap and
water then dry skin thoroughly. Remove any excess body hair with a
pair of scissors, being careful not to cut your skin.
3. Connect the lead cables to the electrodes. Do not use unnecessary force in
connecting the electrodes to the lead wires. If they do not fit, use a different
set of electrodes, and return the unusable electrodes to your physician or
therapist or whoever supplied you with your unit.
4. Place the electrodes on the sites prescribed by your physician or therapist
and press them firmly onto the skin.
5. Insert the end of the lead wire into the FastStart IF.
6. Turn the FastStart IF on by pressing and releasing the On/Off button.

use. Press tab/field again to set the intensity and begin your treatment.
8. Increase the stimulation intensity level by repeatedly pressing and releasing
the Increase button or pressing and holding the Increase button. Continue
increasing the stimulation level to the amount prescribed by your physician
