It runs from a 9-volt radio battery so there is no mains power involved and no danger of an electric shock. |

Two small metal discs wrapped in damp tissue are placed on the head, usually one at the forehead and one at the back of the head - although some people prefer one behind each ear. These are held in place by an adjustable headband. |
| 3. |
Fit the elastic headband so that it is firm but not too tight. |
| 4. |
Wrap each of the small metal discs in a few layers of tissue, moistened in salty water. A little glycerine may be added to the water to keep it from drying out if you want to use it for a long time. |
| 5. |
Each metal disc is attached to a coloured wire. They can be used any way around. Fit one disc under the headband so it rests in the middle of the forehead, with the wire coming out at the top. |
| 6. |
Fit the other disc under the headband at the back of the head, also with the wire coming out at the top. It may be necessary to rub a small amount of the salty water into the scalp at this point to ensure a good contact. |

Set the frequency control to low ALPHA to begin. |

Connect a 9-volt battery to the battery connector - the BRAIN-MACHINE will now start to operate. Usually nothing is felt or noticed, though for some people a gentle flickering effect is noticed. |

Make yourself comfortable, close your eyes, relax and enjoy. |

As you become more relaxed, turn the frequency control to a lower frequency. When you find a frequency that suits you personally, leave it at that for a while, but feel free to change it from time to time. Many people like a frequency in the THETAregion, but there is the option to go lower. |

It is generally safe to use the CES SOLO for long periods of time. I actually hide mine under a hat and walk down the street with it on ! An interesting experience ! But do not use it whilst driving a vehicle, operating machinery or any similar activity where concentration and alertness are very important. The effects, though subtle, are powerful. |

Although you can discontinue the unit at any moment, by removing the discs from under the headband and taking off the battery, many people prefer to bring the frequency gradually up to the BETA level first, as this gives a state of increased alertness after the meditation. |

After use, make sure that the wires are wrapped up carefully and kept separate to avoid tangles. Remove the damp tissue and keep the BRAIN-MACHINE carefully for its next use. |

The DUO BRAIN-MACHINE works just like the SOLO except that a second person can use it at the same time. Each person has one wire of each colour, and for synchronisation, the same colour should be at the front of each person's head. |
| 15. |
Relax together and enjoy, but if one person needs to stop before the other, they can simply remove the discs and headband, leaving the other person to use the DUO BRAIN-MACHINE alone. Take care not to leave the discs touching each other and wrap the wires up carefully to avoid tangles after use. |
