Which wireless technology does the device use?

The Unicorn tDCS Core-2 uses Bluetooth 5 for wireless communication.

Under which environmental conditions can the device be operated?

The device is designed for operation at temperatures between 5°C and 40°C and relative humidity levels between 25% and 80%.

How should the device be stored for longer periods?

For long-term storage, it is recommended to store the device with approximately 50% battery charge.

How long does the battery operate on a full charge?

A fully charged battery supports approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes of stimulation operation.

How is the battery charged?

The Unicorn tDCS Core-2 is charged via USB.

How can I maximize the lifespan of the device?

To extend the device lifespan, avoid bending or pulling the cables excessively and store the device carefully after use.

How should the Unicorn tDCS Core-2 be cleaned?

The device should be cleaned carefully using appropriate non-aggressive cleaning materials. Do not use washing machines, immersion cleaning, or harsh chemicals.

Can the device be used in wet or hazardous environments?

No. The device must not be used in wet environments or in areas with explosive or flammable materials.

Can I repair the device myself?

No. Users should not attempt to repair or modify the device themselves. Repairs must only be performed by authorized personnel.

Can the Unicorn tDCS Core-2 be used with pacemakers or implanted devices?

No. The Unicorn tDCS Core-2 must not be used by individuals with pacemakers or other implanted electronic medical devices.

What does high impedance mean?

High impedance means that the electrical resistance between the electrode and the skin is too high. This can occur if insufficient gel is used or if electrode contact is poor.

What does “Lead-Off” mean?

A Lead-Off warning indicates that the electrodes do not have proper contact with the skin or the cap connection is interrupted.

How should the electrodes be prepared before use?

Before stimulation, the skin should be cleaned carefully and electrode gel should be applied to the g.SAHARA soft electrodes to ensure proper conductivity and comfort.

What do the LED indicators mean?

The LED indicators display different device states, including charging status, Bluetooth connection, stimulation activity, and device readiness.

What is sham stimulation?

Sham stimulation is a simulated stimulation mode that mimics the sensation of real stimulation without delivering a lasting stimulation effect. It is commonly used in research and testing scenarios.

How long does the battery last?

The battery provides up to 3 hours and 30 minutes of stimulation time and up to 10 hours in connection mode.
