HELP! confused about using my coil machine for the first time

[Guest guest]

I have my two alligator clips hooked up to the amplifier, but where do I plug

the other end of it into? Do I plug it into the generator at one of the output

ends? (ttl/cmos or output)

I was reading 's setup guide and I am unsure about some things.

When he says to push the wave button to choose the sine curve icon on the

display...what does that mean? Also, he says to push the shift and number 8

buttons to get " -20db " on the display..what is that for?

When do you begin timing yourself for how long the coil is on?

I am sure I am misreading,but once you turn the amplifier button on the freq.

gen. up to 13 amps slowly, the coil machine is now operating? So, it's not like

you can just push an on button and the machine begins, correct? It just seems

like while you are getting ready to coil yourself, you are being exposed to

extra time turning and fiddling with the amp buttons. If you go to sit/lie down

that adds extra time that the coil has been running...kwim?

When your time is up, you just lower the amp button on the freq gen. and turn

the amp gain knobs back counterclockwise? Again, doesn't that just add more

time to your exposure?

I really appreciate any help...I am a wee bit intimidated by this machine
