VQ
Vector
Treatment Sessions
1. Insert (4) AA batteries or (1) VQ OrthoCare
SM
battery pack into the
VQ
TM
Vector as shown in the battery compartment and then replace
the battery door. If desired, use the AC adapter that came with your
VQ Vector instead of batteries.
2. Prepare the skin: Wash the electrode application sites with mild soap
and water then dry your skin thoroughly. Remove any excess body hair
with a pair of scissors, being careful not to cut your skin.
3. Connect the lead wires 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. Always make sure your
electrodes are placed at least one (1) inch apart.
5. Insert the end of the lead wire into the VQ Vector.
6. Turn the VQ Vector on by pressing and releasing the On/Off button.
7. To select your preset, press the display button once or until “Preset #1”
appears on the screen. Then, press increase or decrease to select the
preset you want to use. Press display button again to set the intensity
and begin your treatment.
8. Increase the stimulation intensity level by repeatedly pressing and
releasing the Increase button. Continue increasing the stimulation level
to the amount prescribed by your physician or therapist.
9. If desired, in interferential mode, use the vector button (right or left) to
“vector” (move) the stimulation pattern. The arrows will then display on
your screen to indicate that the stimulation pattern has been rotated.
To use the automatic vector sweep, press and hold either vector button
until “SWEEP” displays on the screen.
10. At the end of the prescribed treatment time, the VQ Vector will
automatically turn itself off.
