Step One: Prepare the Trays and Electrodes
- Place the black silicone-graphite electrodes into the white water bath trays.
- Position the blue pH-balancing foam on top of each electrode.
- While it doesn’t matter which electrode goes in which tray, for convenience, connect the electrode plugged into E1 to the left tray and E2 to the right tray.

Step Two: Add Tap Water
- Fill each tray with approximately 2-5 cups of tap water until the foam mats are damp.
- Ensure the palms of your hands or soles of your feet are fully wet, while the outsides of your fingers or toes are partially covered.
- If sweating is limited to the palms or soles, avoid fully submerging your hands or feet.
Step Three: Connect the Electrodes
- Plug the white electrode cables into the E1 and E2 ports located on the back of the Fischer main control unit.
Step Four: Attach the Cables
- Connect the white electrode cables to the black silicone-graphite electrode cords.
Step Five: Connect the Power Cord
- Insert the power cord into the back of the main control unit and plug it into a wall outlet.
