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.

6. Plug the single end of the leadwire cable into the BioWave device.
7. Press the power button to turn on the BioWave device.

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 where 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 electrode (for example) around your wrist as compared to around the hand, it may be because the elastic strap around the wrist is too tight and/or the elastic strap around the hand 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.
