Dear rachmat,
The lead-wires connect the probe to your unit and one is supplied when you purchase.
You will need one 9v battery and this is supplied with the Kegel8 when you purchase.
Let us know is we can help further.

Dear CJ
This sounds like a connectivity problem - is the probe inserted when you try to increase the mAs? You can't increase the intensity unless your body is in direct contact with the probe. Please see our FAQs -
Q. On my Kegel8 Pelvic Toner the mAs (intensity) wont go above 9. What's wrong?

A. The mA's or intensity (strength of the pulse) when using a vaginal or anal probe the ideal level you should start at is 30mAs, for electrode pads the level is 15mAs.

If you do not have effective body contact between the probe and your vaginal muscles you will find that you cannot increase the mAs up to a suitable level to exercise effectively, so it won't go above 9, it will then just return to zero every time you try to increase it. All of our electronic Kegel8s are automatically programmed to cut out if you do not have effective contact with the metal part, so if the probe is not inserted you wont be able to increase to an effective level..

Here's what you need to do:

* Make sure the probe is inserted into the first 2 inches of your vagina. You might like to wear tight pants to make sure it remains in place. Your body must maintain contact with the metal parts of the probe, this is the electrode that delivers the electrical pulse to exercise and invigorate your pelvic floor muscles.
* Make sure the metal parts of the probe (the electrodes) are facing hip to hip when the probe is inserted vaginally or anally.
* If you have difficulty keeping the probe in place, if it falls out, or falls out of position this could interrupt your programme and the machine will reduce in intensity to protect you. A wider lighter probe such as the Pelviline could be the answer so you can maintain contact to kegel exercise effectively.
* Try not to move around too much as this may displace the probe.
* Adjust your seating position; sit with your buttocks tightly together as if trying to hold in wind.
Conductivity is also improved by using a body friendly, paraben free lubricant such as KE Gel.
Please call our helpline, or e mail us your telephone number and we will call you back to ensure that you can get back to using your Kegel8 Pelvic Toner again,

Dear MissHJ,

Thank you for your question.

The Kegel8 lead wire has a male connector, and all of our probes and skin electrodes have female connectors.

I hope this helps, but if there's anything else we can help with please don't hesitate to ask.

Best wishes,

Dear Sue, Yes they will.
Thanks
Fiona

Dear Sue,

Thank you for your message.

I'm not sure why the wires would not fit into the left hand side of your machine, as the connectors are the same? Have you tried turning the wire around and putting it in the other way? However yes you can use this in the right hand side of your machine, the right hand side works in the same way as the left.

Do let us know if you still can't get the wires in the left hand side because they should fit into both sides the same.

Best wishes

Dear Flowers,

Thank you for your question.

It sounds to me as though when you are walking around, the probe isn't making proper contact with your pelvic floor muscles, therefore for safety reasons it cuts out. To solve this, you could either try a slightly wider probe which is easier to keep in place while walking around, for example the Periform probe which is light and hollow: http://www.kegel8.co.uk/periform-probe.html or you could try using your unit while sitting down until your pelvic floor muscles become a little stronger and you are able to hold the probe in place more easily while walking around.

I hope this helps, but if you have any further questions then please don't hesitate to email us back or to call our Kegel8 Advisors on 01482 496932.

Dear Missm,
I would recommend connecting red to red and black to black.
I hope this helps,

Dear Joanne,
The Perisphera H probe uses two sets of lead wires, which makes it more powerful, and it means you can run the two pairs of electrodes on the probe independently.
If you already have two sets of lead wires from previously bought probes, you don't need to buy any more.
As long as all four wires that come off the Perisphera probe are connected to your Kegel8 unit with leadwires, you are using it correctly.
I hope this helps,

Hi Kaz,
Maybe you changed programme, the Kegel8 always goes down to zero...this means it is in the resting, or relaxing part of the programme. It works for several seconds, then relaxes (goes to zero) for a few seconds. Next time you notice it doing this please just watch the screen because it will activate and start working (creating a contraction) again.

If this doesn't happen, and it is stopping the programme, it means that you either have a faulty lead, probe, or that you do not have sufficient connectivity between your muscles walls and the probe. This can sometimes happen if you move around.
Other FAQs are here http://www.kegel8.co.uk/articles/support/faqs.html

Let me now if I can help further.

Hi Tilly
If a probe is broken it won't work, this can happen if the wires break (the thin copper within the plastic wire can break if it is treated roughly - like creasing it).
In all honesty I have a probe that I have used for 12 months and it is still going strong - I am running a sort of experiment. I know that the manufacturers state that it should be replaced every 3 - 6 months - but I have not noticed any loss of power when using so I shall continue with it.
The gold plated probes will only last 3 - 6 months - that's because the gold pate wears off, and if you are using because of a nickel allergy this will have to be replaced.

Hope this helps, even though I am afraid its not definitive answer.

Dear Annie

Thank you for such a great question, no there's no difference and one white wire goes in to the black connector and the other wire goes in to the red connector.

Good Morning Juliette

Thank you for your enquiry. Not knowing which Perisphera probe you have makes it difficult to answer exactly, we sell the Perisphera O, Perisphera U, Perisphera H and the Perisphera A.

The Perisphera O and Perisphera A do not require 2 sets of lead wires but the U and the H do require 2 sets if you wish to run is as a dual channelled probe allowing you to increase and decrease the sensation on each side independently. If you don't wish to utilise this function you can use it just through the Channel A port with one lead wire. The website does specify that both the U and the H requires 2 sets of lead wires:

Please be aware that this probe does not come with any lead wires, you will need to purchase the relevant lead wires to go with your unit.This probe needs two sets of lead wires.
