Replacing Electrodes:
^ Electrode life varies due to skin condition, skin preparation, storage,
climate and care. For most patients, electrodes will last for approximately
7-10 applications and removals.
^ If your electrodes start to dry out, gently rub a few drops of water into
the gel on the electrode to remoisten.
^ After repeated use, reusable electrodes lose their adhesion, deliver
less stimulation and shorten battery life. Replace electrodes that do
not stick uniformly or cause discomfort.
Care and Maintenance
CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to clean the Avid IF2 while in use.
Maintenance, care and cleaning of the Avid IF2 is quick and easy when
these instructions are followed:
Case: Clean the outside of the Avid IF2 case as needed with a damp
cloth and mild soap. Never immerse the Avid IF2 in any liquid. This could
seriously damage the internal electronics. Avoid using cleaning fluids or
solvents to remove stains and dirt. This may damage the casing. DO NOT
use abrasive materials on the LCD viewing area.
Lead wire: Do not bend or crimp the lead wire. Do not use the lead wire if
it is moist or wet – allow to air dry for at least one hour. Always remove the
lead wire by firmly grasping the connector. If possible, tuck in excess length
of the lead wires to avoid interference with normal activity. These wires only
need to be cleaned if they become dirty. Wipe with a damp cloth and dry
thoroughly.
AC Adapter: The Avid IF2 is powered by a non-removable, rechargeable,
internal battery or an AC Adapter. When the AC Adapter is plugged in, it will
charge the internal battery and supply power for operating the device. Use
only the AC Adapter provided (Globtek Model # GTM96180-1811-2.0). Use
of other AC Adapters may damage the Avid IF2. The AC adapter serves as
the only means to disconnect the device from the mains supply.
