STEP ONE

Place the black silicone-graphite electrodes into the white trays. Place the blue pH-balancing foam on top.
Although it doesn’t matter which electrode goes where, for ease of use, place the electrode plugged into E1 in the left water bath tray and the electrode plugged into E2 in the right water bath tray.

STEP TWO

Fill both water bath trays with tap water (approx. 2-5 cups) so that the foam mats are damp.
A good sign that you’ve added the right amount of water: The palms of your hands and/or soles of your feet are completely wet and the outsides of your fingers and/or toes are partially covered. Unless you suffer from sweating on the tops of your hands and/or feet, refrain from submerging your entire hand/foot in water.

STEP THREE

Plug the white electrode cables into the E1 and E2 ports on the back of the Fischer main control unit.

STEP four

Connect the white electrode cables to the black silicone-graphite electrode cords.

STEP FIVE

Connect the power cord into the port on the back of the Fischer main control unit. Plug the power cord into the wall.

STEP six

Press the power button on the back of the device.

STEP seven

Press "SET."

STEP EIGHT

Place both hands into one tray and both feet into the other tray.

The Fischer iontophoresis device, proudly crafted by RA Fischer Co., stands out as an innovative solution, as it seamlessly allows for the concurrent treatment of both hands and feet, underscoring its effectiveness and convenience in addressing these perspiration-related concerns. This cutting-edge technology represents a significant step towards enhancing the quality of life for individuals dealing with hyperhidrosis.

STEP nine

On the main control unit, you’ll notice the Active Treatment Display (ATD) light up with two bars. These display in real-time that the treatment is working and when you’ve reached the preset power level.
