Intensity Control - NOVAFON power Manual De Usuario

3. OPERATION
3.1. DEVICE START-UP
Plug the power plug into a power outlet that provides the specified voltage.
Ensure that the cable is not stretched to a length of over 3 metres as the cable
might break. Use an extension cord, if required. Turn on the NOVAFON device
using the flip switch . This flip switch is also used to select the frequency
level in the NOVAFON pro and power models .

3.2. INTENSITY CONTROL

The intensity can be adjusted by turning the control knob . Turning the con-
trol knob clockwise (viewed from the top) reduces the intensity. Consequently,
turning the control knob counter-clockwise increases the intensity. Please bear
in mind that you need to turn the control knob several times to reach the highest
or lowest intensity. We recommend that you start at a low intensity and then in-
crease it as required and subject to individual sensitivity levels. Do not apply any
pressure when using the NOVAFON device. Instead of enhancing treatment ef-
fectiveness, this would interfere with the vibratory performance. Perfect vibra-
tions are generated by the mere contact of the NOVAFON device with the skin.
3.3. ATTACHMENTS
The disk attachment and ball attachment attachments can be easily replaced.
Unscrew the attachment counter-clockwise to remove it or turn it clockwise to
tighten it.
4. APPLICATIONS & USE
The local vibration therapy with the NOVAFON sound wave device can be used as
a supporting measure in a number of diseases of the musculoskeletal and the
nervous system. For example, NOVAFON sound wave devices are used by phy-
sicians and therapists for the treatment of pain in the musculoskeletal system
(e.g. muscular or joint pain) and in the rehabilitation of neurological diseases
(e.g. spasticity or neglect after stroke). Due to their simple handling, the devices
can also be used in the home environment. Please note that the NOVAFON sound
wave devices can only alleviate symptoms but never actually cure the underlying
disease, nor replace a doctor's visit. Despite being safe, simple and non-inva-
sive, we recommend that you discuss the treatment with your treating physician
or therapist. If symptoms get worse, seek medical advice. Discontinue the treat-
ment immediately, if you experience nausea, dizziness, increased pain, or skin
irritation. Please always pay attention to the contraindications listed in chapter 5.
4.1. SELF-APPLICATION AT HOME
Pain is a common symptom of both acute and chronic conditions, such as epi-
condylitis, tendinitis, myalgia, or fibromyalgia, which can be reduced by local
vibration therapy. 1 Taking into account the contraindications (chapter 5), the
NOVAFON is guided on or around the treatment area in a straight line, selective-
ly or in slow circular movements. The NOVAFON can also be applied at trigger
