Quick Set Up and Use
See video at biowave.com/support/biowrap
1. The 4″ Snap Cables should already be snapped onto each of the 2 snaps on
the outside of the BioWrap.
2. Plug the blue connectors at the other end of each BioWrap cable into your
BioWave Leadwire Cable.
3. Clean your skin with soap and water using a washcloth in the locations
that the silver fabric will touch your skin.
4. Squeeze a separate pea size amount of conductive Theracream onto your
fingertip and rub into your skin thoroughly over the entire area that the
silver fabric electrodes will touch your skin. Use a pea size amount of cream
for each silver fabric electrode.
5. This BioWrap can be attached while sitting on the edge of a chair. See
diagrams on opposite side to put on the BioWrap and velcro it closed firmly so
there is strong but comfortable compression over the silver fabric locations.
6. Plug the single end of the leadwire cable into the BioWave device.
7. Press the power button to turn on the BioWave device.
8. Start the treatment by pressing the PLUS (+) button to increase intensity
so the sensation felt is strong but still comfortable. As your body adapts to
the electrical field and the sensation fades, keep pressing the PLUS (+)
button to increase the intensity to maintain a strong but comfortable
sensation at the treatment location.
9. When the 30-minute treatment is over, disconnect the BioWave Leadwire
cable from the 4″ Snap Cables, remove the BioWrap from your body and store in
a cool dry place.

TROUBLESHOOTING
My BioWave shows a connection error but my BioWrap is plugged in
If your BioWave device shows a connection error when you are fully connected
to the BioWrap, remove the BioWrap and follow these steps:
If you forgot to apply Conductive Cream:
· CLEAN YOUR SKIN. Remove BioWrap and clean your skin with soap and water in
the region that the silver fabric electrodes touch your skin. Shave any
excessive hair in the locations that the silver fabric electrodes touch your
skin.
· APPLY A PEA-SIZE AMOUNT OF CONDUCTIVE CREAM directly to skin areas that will
be against each of the silver fabric electrodes inside the BioWrap. Gently
massage Conductive Cream into the skin allowing it to absorb, before putting
on the BioWrap.
If you applied too much Conductive Cream (more than a pea-size amount):
· CLEAN YOUR SKIN. Remove BioWrap and use a dry towel to remove all excess
Conductive Cream from your skin and any excess cream from the silver fabric in
the BioWrap. Next, reattach the BioWrap and begin the treatment.
The treatment feels stronger under one electrode versus the other
· If the treatment feels stronger under the upper electrode as compared to
under the lower electrode, it may be because the upper elastic strap around
the thigh or calf is too tight and/or the lower elastic strap around the thigh
or calf is too loose. Adjust the compression of each strap to increase or
decrease the relative sensation during the treatment.
· Tighter Compression and/or More Conductive Cream = Stronger Treatment
Sensation. · Looser Compression and/or Less Conductive Cream = Less Treatment
Sensation.
