What problem are you experiencing with your Classic Pulsators?(Vereist)

One Pulsator is not working.

Both Pulsators are not working

Other

Please try disconnecting and then reconnecting the pulsators from the wire, as this may resolve the issue.

Also, please try disconnecting and then reconnecting the pulsators from the Controller.

If the problem persists, proceed with the next steps.

The wire connecting to the pulsators may experience wear and tear over time, potentially weakening its connection and effectiveness. Additionally, there could be a defect in the pulsator itself. To diagnose the issue, please follow these steps:

Disconnect the malfunctioning pulsator from the wire.
Disconnect the functioning pulsator as well.
Swap their positions: Connect the malfunctioning pulsator to the wire end where the functioning one was, and vice versa.
Observe the results:
- If the same pulsator continues to malfunction, it is defective and needs replacement.
- If the previously functioning pulsator now malfunctions, the issue lies with the wire.

Should the issue be related to the wire, a new one can be ordered here. Please note that wires are not covered under our warranty policy. If the issue is not related to the wire, please proceed.

What problem are you experiencing with your Classic Light Tube?(Vereist)

Damaged Light Tube or cable.

The Light on my Light Tube is not behaving as intended.

There is no light at all when I turn on the controller

Other

If your Light Tube does not work well, it could be due to the following causes:

1. Bad Contact
If your Light Tube is not working properly, it might be related to a bad contact between the Controller and the Light Tube. Please follow these steps:
– Disconnect the wire of the Light Tube from the Controller.
– Blow into the port of the Controller as well as the connector on the wire of the Light Tube.
– Reconnect the wire of the Light Tube to the Controller.
– Check if this resolves the issue.

2. Defective Connecting Piece
If you inspect the connector of the Light Tube’s wire, you should see some metal pins. There should be 6 of them, along with a black pin in the middle.

3. Music Mode
It’s possible that your controller is set to MUSIC mode. In this mode, the Light Tube and Pulsators do not function. To switch back to SWEEPING MODE, follow these steps:
– Turn on the Controller.
– Press the M button once.
– If the screen displays MUSIC, press the arrow buttons until it reads SWEEPING.

4. Low-Intensity Setting
The intensity might be set too low, rendering the Light dot invisible. Increase the intensity by pressing the + button on the controller next to “Volume/Intensity”.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please proceed further.

Could you please gently wiggle the cable while the controller is turned on to check if it affects the issue? If moving the cable impacts the problem, it’s likely that the cable is faulty.

Does moving/wiggling the cable seem to impact the issue?(Vereist)

Yes, wiggling or moving the cable seems to affect the issue.

No, wiggling or moving the cable does not affect the issue.

There might be dust obstructing the connection. Please detach the cable from the controller and forcefully blow into both the controller’s Light Tube port and the Light Tube’s cable connector. If this doesn’t resolve the issue, please continue with the next steps.

Controller software version

Upon powering on the Controller, you will see a number displayed, indicating its software version. Please note and report the number that appears when you turn on the Controller.

If your controller does not turn on, please proceed.

What problem are you experiencing with your Wireless Headphones?

I am experiencing a connection issue.

I am experiencing a different issue.

If you can not connect with the Headphone, the next few points might help you to make a connection with the Headphone:

Make sure the Headphone is charged.
Now, press the on/off button on the Headphone until a blue and red light starts flashing. This indicates that the Headphone is in pairing mode and is able to make a new connection.
Go to Settings on your device.
Open the Bluetooth settings.
Make sure Bluetooth is turned ON on your device.
Search for Bluetooth devices with your phone/tablet. The “EMDR Kit Headphone” should appear.
Connect to the Headphone

Also make sure, your Headphone is not currently connected with a different phone/tablet. If the Light on your headphone is stable blue it means it is currently already connected with a device. In that case, unpair it from that device or turn Bluetooth OFF on that device.

Are you still experiencing an issue? Please proceed.

There are several important factors that influence the quality of Bluetooth connections between your phone and the parts of the EMDR Kit. A mix of one or more of these factors could cause your Pulsators to disconnect. We have noticed that iOS (Apple) devices are more susceptible to these factors compared with most android devices. By keeping the following factors in mind, you can decrease the chance of having a disconnect:

1. Impeding objects: Anything between your phone and the Pulsators can have a negative effect on the signal quality. We recommend making sure that there are no objects between your phone and the Pulsators. For example, a table or other objects between the phone and Pulsators can hinder the connection.
2. The way a client holds the pulsators: Some clients hold the pulsators in their armpits or beneath their legs or tight to the chest. This can also make it harder for the signal to reach your phone. Make sure your client is not blocking the signal with their body.
3. Distance: The Bluetooth signal weakens as the distance between the Pulsators and your phone increases. Therefore, do not make the distance too great. We recommend a maximum distance of 2-3 meters (which is 6 to 10 feet).
4. Phone placement and Phone accessories: To let the Bluetooth items function optimally it is recommended to position the phone in such a way that its Bluetooth chip can get a good signal. For most models of smartphones and tablets, the Bluetooth chip is placed in the upper part of the device. For example, you could use a phone/tablet stand so that the phone is positioned upright. Phone accessories such as a phone protector or a tablet keypad could also create an extra barrier for the Bluetooth signal to move through.
5. Connection with other Bluetooth devices: If your phone is currently connected with other devices through Bluetooth, it can decrease the overall quality of the Bluetooth signals. We recommend only pairing the EMDR Kit parts.

Could you go through these factors and consider if one or more could impact the Bluetooth signal in your situation?

The battery of one or both of the Pulsators could be low or empty. When charging, the LED light on the Pulsators should turn green when sufficiently charged and blinking red when charging. Did you succesfully charge the Pulsators with the charger plugged into the power supply? When the Pulsators are not connected with the EMDR Kit app they should show the following colors when being charged in the dockinstation when the charger is attached:

A blinking red light indicates that the Pulsators are charging.

A green light means that the Pulsators are fully charged

A blinking red light indicates that the Pulsators are charging.

A green light means that the Pulsators are fully charged

Shake to activate the Pulsators. The LED lights on the Pulsators will start flashing blue, indicating that they are ready to be connected. After activation, the Pulsators are available to connect for 30 seconds. After this period, they automatically turn off again if they are not connected. Shake the Pulsators again if they were not connected within 30 seconds.

When you see a blue blinking light, the Pulsator is activated and ready to connect.
When the Pulsator is activated, you can connect it through the Connect menu in the EMDR Kit app.

A stable Blue light means the Pulsator is connected.
When the Pulsator is succesfully connected, the color on it will turn a stable blue.
