LIFTiD Neurostimulation was designed by a world renowned science team and is the lightest and the easiest-to-use tDCS device available in the market today.
The two black electrodes on the back side of LIFTiD are permanently connected to the LIFTiD body. The electrodes are designed for flexibility, fit, and function. Please do NOT try to pull off or bend the electrodes.
Once you master the Super Simple Setup, it will take less than a minute to begin a stimulation session.
For optimal performance and safety, please read and follow all of the instructions carefully before using your LIFTiD device.
STEP 1 Prepare a “salt water solution” in the 2-ounce bottle provided. Fill the pre-measured spoon provided with “table salt” and pour into the bottle provided. Fill the bottle with warm water to the top. Place the cap on tight and shake the bottle until the salt is diluted. This recipe of a half teaspoon of salt and warm water combined in a 2-ounce bottle is recommended for saturating the sponges provided and making your stimulation session comfortable.
STEP 2 Take out 2 dry sponges or damp sponges from a prior session. Since the white sponges are shipped flat, wet them thoroughly the first time and they will expand to their normal size. Rinse the sponges out so they are damp and not dripping wet.
STEP 3 Squirt the salt water solution from the 2-ounce bottle provided on each sponge so they are entirely soaked. You do not need a lot of salt water to do this. The sponges need to be damp and saturated in salt water for optimal performance and connection. Rinse out the salt water lightly so the sponges are sufficiently damp, but not dripping wet. The sponges function better when wetter.
STEP 4 Place one sponge in each black electrode so the sponges are straight and smooth. The damp/wet "white sponges" are the only part of the Liftid device that should touch your forehead. If the black electrodes are making contact with your forehead, then you have “not" set up the device correctly. Again, only the "white sponges" should make contact with the forehead.
STEP 1 Please make sure the LIFTiD Neurostimulation device is centered and straight across your forehead. There should be at least a 2-finger distance between the eyebrows and the bottom of the electrodes. The plus (+) sign should be over your left eye and the minus (-) sign over your right eye. In the middle of the plus (+) and minus (-) signs is the on/off button.
STEP 2 Tighten the soft headband strap so it is firm and comfortable. The headband does not need to be super tight with the LIFTiD device pressing hard on the forehead, just firm and comfortable. Make sure that the electrodes are as high up on the forehead as possible, all the way up to the hairline. The electrodes should not cover the hair in any way, rather they can touch the very edge of the hairline. There is a convenient mirror included in the set, so you can see yourself to ensure proper set up. LIFTiD’s proprietary design with flexible electrodes can fit most heads easily and comfortably.

TWO LIFTiD NEUROSTIMULATION RULES TO ALWAYS REMEMBER
RULE #1: Please do NOT move, adjust, or remove the LIFTiD device from your head once the stimulation session begins. If you do, you may experience a slight sting sensation. It is not harmful, but maybe a bit uncomfortable for a moment. The reason is that the skin feels a rapid change in current when you remove the device suddenly. The LED light will flash red, an alarm will sound, and the LIFTiD device will power off. If you need to end a stimulation session early, simply press the on/off button for 2 seconds and the LIFTiD device will “ramp-down” for 30 seconds and will power off.
RULE #2: Please only use your LIFTiD device once a day for 20 minutes.
STEP 1 Once the LIFTiD device is set up and secure, press the on/off button for 2 seconds till you hear a beeping sound and see the blue light flashing. This is the 30 second “ramp-up” which begins the LIFTiD session. You may start to feel warmth, heat, a mild prickly or tingly feeling. This is all normal. After the 30 second ramp-up, if the LIFTiD device is set up in the right position, a pre-set 20 minute stimulation session will begin and you will see a solid blue light. During this time, you should be doing some kind of task; playing a video game, studying for an exam, reviewing for a presentation,writing music, playing an instrument, reading, checking emails and sending texts, riding a stationary bike, or doing another stimulating activity. After the 20 minute session, the LIFTiD device will automatically “ramp-down” for 30 seconds with a beeping sound and a flashing blue light and will power off. Your session has ended.
STEP 2 Immediately remove the white sponges from the electrodes and rinse thoroughly under warm water to remove the salt water and rinse out all the water. The sponges can dry or stay damp until your next stimulation session. When storing, always keep your LIFTiD device separate from the sponges. Allow the sponges to dry in the open air on a paper towel or on a clean surface. Like anything that is wet, if you put your wet sponges inside the case or in a closed space with no air, they can mildew and not dry properly. The sponges are a very important component. Please take care of them per instructions, so the sponges can be reused many times.
STEP 3 After your pre-set 20 minute stimulation, LIFTiD has now put you in the mindset to be creative, focused, productive...time to play a video game, take an exam, make a presentation, sing or play in a band, workout at the gym, or do anything that allows you to be productive, focused, creative, and energetic.
