PR-2X INSTRUCTION MANUAL

(Applies to XCELR8R II when used without PC)

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for selecting the Personal Relaxer 2X (PR-2X). The PR-2X is the
most sophisticated audio/visual mind stimulation devise available today,
yet is straightforward, logical, and easy to learn. This manual will
guide you through operation of your P R-2X system, from running built in
programs to generating your own customized programs.

Your PR-2X system offers a rich feature repertoire, and can be enjoyed at
many different levels. Go just as far as you wish. The basic mind
stimulation features are all available at the QUICK START level.

FOR A QUICK START

Make connections:
* Headphones to the SOUND jack.
* Stimulation goggles to the LIGHT jack.
* AC adapter to the PWR jack and to a wall outlet (if you don�t have
a battery).
* External cassette player to the EXT jack via the stereo cord.
(optional)

Turn Power On:

* Slide the power switch to BATT (to ON if you are using the AC
adapter). NOTE: You may want to adjust VOLUME and/or INTENSITY �
See Page 7.
The PROGRAM light will turn on and the current program
number (normal PO1) will be displayed.

Select and Start Program:

* Select the program you want with the UP and DOWN keys.
* Suggestion: try P25 first, for demonstration of stimulation
options.
* Press and release ENTER to start the program.
The display will begin a 10 second countdown, sound and
light stimulation will stop.
* Put on the headphones and goggles, lean back and relax, CLOSE YOUR
EYES. When the countdown ends, stimulation begins. When the
program is over, stimulation stops, display shows End.
* Remove the goggles and headphones.
* Press ENTER until the display goes blank (about 2 seconds), then
release ENTER. The system will go back to manual control.

Good! You have used all the controls and experienced your first program.
There are 25 built-in programs that you can experience in the same way see
Page 4.

GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR PR-2X SYSTEM

To receive the most benefit from your PR-2X system, follow these
suggestions: 1) Use it in conjunction with any self-improvement tape or a
favorite piece of music. 2) Use the system 30-60 minutes every day for
the first 30 days. 3) Set aside a specific time and place that you will
use the system every day. 4) Wear comfortable clothing, avoid tight or
restrictive garments. 5) You can become chilled during deep relaxation,
and may want a blanket nearby. 6) Have a goal in mind; state it verbally
as a problem to solve, an emotion to drain off, etc. 7) Draw a mental
picture of the results you want to attain and keep focused on this goal.
8) Take several deep breaths just before beginning a session. 9) After a
session take a minute to listen to the whispers, note any answers that
appear. 10)As you try different programs and stimulation options, monitor
your energy level, sleep patterns, and stress reactions. Find out what
works best for you.

CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS

The connections are shown in Fig 1. Connect:
* Headphones to the SOUND jack.
* Stimulation goggles to the LIGHT jack.
* AC adapter to the PWR jack and to a wall outlet (if you don�t
want to run on battery).
* External cassette player to the EXT jack via the stereo cord.
(optional)

The sliding power switch has three positions:

* ON (left) for running with the AC adapter
* OFF (center)
* BATT (right) for running with the internal battery

There are four keys on top of the unit:

* SELECT selects a function, and lights the corresponding function
light.
* UP and DOWN(labeled with arrows) change the value of the selected
function.
* ENTER has a variety of control functions (described in the
appropriate section)

The eight function lights show which function is selected.

The three digit display shows the current value of the selected function.

RECHARGING THE BATTERY

If your system has an internal battery, you can recharge it using the AC
adapter. Whenever the Ac adapter is connected, the battery is recharging.
Recharging takes about 8 hours with the system running, and about 5 hours
with the system turned off. You
can recharge it overnight. To prolong battery life, recharge it before
it is completely run down. Running down the battery will not lose
internal memory of your personal preference settings or custom programs.
Do not leave the AC adapter connected longer than overnight.

PLAYING A PROGRAM

When the system is turned on, the PROGRAM function is selected. If you
have been using the system, another function may be selected:
* If PROGRAM is not selected, press ENTER, or SELECT repeatedly,
until it is.
* Use UP and DOWN to select the program you want.
* Lean back in a comfortable chair.
* Press and release ENTER to start the program.
The display will begin a 10 second countdown, sound and
light stimulation will stop.
 * Put on the headphones and goggles, CLOSE YOUR EYES.
When the countdown ends, stimulation begins. Near the end of
the program, stimulation will ramp down to off for a gentle
termination. When the program is over, stimulation stops,
and display shows _End�.
* Remove the goggles and headphones.
* Press ENTER until the display goes blank (about 2 seconds), then
release ENTER. The system will go back to the manual control, and the
manually selected stimulation will start.

ADJUSTING STIMULATION LEVELS

The sound volume and light intensity can be adjusted to your personal
preference using the SELECT, UP, and DOWN keys at any time � before or
after starting a program. Be sure to adjust the light intensity with your
eyes closed. You can record your pref erences in a PERSONAL PREFERENCE
PROGRAM (page 13) so you won�t have to re-enter every time the system is
turned on.

PAUSING A PROGRAM

You can _stop the clock�, or pause, the execution a running program by
pressing and releasing ENTER. The stimulation will continue in whatever
state it was in when you paused it, but it will stop changing, the
internal clock that advances the program sta te will top, and the right
hand decimal point in the display will come on. When you are ready to
continue the program, press and release ENTER again, and the clock will
restart.

STOPPING A PROGRAM

You can stop a program at any time by pressing and holding ENTER until the
display goes blank (about 2 seconds). Release ENTER, and the system will
go back to manual mode.

CHANGING STIMULATION OPTIONS

Most built-in programs control only the frequency and phase of

stimulation. Any function not controlled by the program can be set or
changed manually in the same way as volume and intensity. For a
description of the available stimulation functions, see pages 8-12. You
may want to experiment with the other stimulation functions to find which
works best for you. You can record your selections in a PERSONAL
PREFERENCE PROGRAM (Page 13).

SYSTEM TIME-OUTS

The system automatically takes certain actions based on time:

* During a program, after ten seconds with no actions, FREQUENCY is
reselected.
* After approximately eight minutes with no actions, the display is
dimmed.
* After approximately two hours with no actions, the system stops
operation and displays a single hyphen _��. If you see this, move
the power switch to off(center).
The last two actions are designed to enhance battery life.

STIMULATION FUNCTIONS

There are ten functions in your PR-2X system that can be selected for
display and control. One of the eight functions lights is always on,
telling which function is selected. Press SELECT to select a different
function. The current value of the selecte d function is always shown in
the display, and the UP and DOWN keys can normally change the value of the
selected function.

How do eight lights handle ten functions? Three functions are combined on
one light (MODE). When MODE is selected, three separate functions (PHASE,
DUTY CYCLE, and RATE MULTIPLE) are displayed at the same time, one digit
each, and three SELECT actions are required to get through MODE. The
selected function is displayed brighter than others.

As you press the SELECT key, some functions may be skipped. This is
because the selections interact, and some selections for one function may
make other functions inactive. Inactive functions are skipped as the
light selection advances. The following p aragraphs point out these
interactions.

VOLUME

Range: 0-100 The VOLUME function controls the sound level in the
headphones, but not the external sound source volume. Use your external
sound source volume control to control external volume.

INTENSITY

Range: 0-100 The INTENSITY function controls the brightness of the lights
in your stimulation goggles.

TONE

The first three TONE selections are pulsed at a rate controlled by the
FREQUENCY function. Binaural sound creates two continuous tones,
separated in frequency by the selected FREQUENCY function value. The mind
process sound in such a way that you seem t o hear, and sometimes feel,
the frequency differences or _beat frequency� of the two tones. White
noise is a mixture of many frequencies, with equal sound energy at each
frequency. Pink noise is also a mixture of many frequencies, with equal
sound energ y in each octave (an octave is an interval that doubles in
frequency, such as 220 Hertz to 440 Hertz.) Since there is a broader range
of frequencies in higher tones available in the PR2-X system are
approximations to true white and pink noise. When whit e or pink noise is
selected, the PITCH function is inactive.

FREQUENCY

Range: 1.0-30.0 Hz. The FREQUENCY function controls the rate of

stimulation pulses in the goggles, and in the earphones in all TONE
selections except binaural sound. When binaural sound is selected, it
controls the difference, or beat frequency of the two tones. This funct
ion controls the frequency of entrainment of brain waves. The frequency
7.83 Hz represents the amount of time required for light to circle the
earth, and is referred to as the Schumann resonance. When a RATE MULTIPLE
of 2 or 3 is selected, the FREQUENCY function is limited to 15 or 10 Hertz
respectively. This is so the higher frequency will be limited to 30
Hertz.

MODE

When the MODE light is on, three different functions are displayed. the
brightness of the three display digits is the one currently selected.
Going from right to left, the functions are:

PHASE

Range: see below The PHASE function controls the phasing of the
stimulation to the four stimulation channels (right eye, left eye, right
ear, left ear). If two stimulation channels are _on� at once, they are
said to be in phase. If one is on while the other is off, they are out of
phase or alternating. The various PHASE options provide stimulation
phasing represented by the following chart:

For example, in FOCUS, all stimulations channels are on together and off
together. In Right/Left, the left eye and ear are on together while the
right eye and ear are off, then the right side is on while the left side
is off, etc. The chart above shows the interpretation of the PHASE
display for the various options.

When a RATE MULTIPLE of 2 or 3 is selected, FOCUS is not allowed because

it groups all channels together, and has no _other� channels for the rate
multiple. If FOCUS was selected when the RATE MULTIPLE selection is made,
FOCUS is automatically changed to
R/L.

DUTY CYCLE
Range: 1,3,4,5,6,7 The DUTY CYCLE function controls the
percentage of the total cycle time that stimulation is on. The default
value 5 represents 50% on, 50% off. A DUTY CYCLE display of 4 means 40%
on, 60% off; 3 means 30% on, 70% off, etc.

RATE MULTIPLE Range: 1,2,2.,3,3. The RATE MULTIPLE function allows you to
have some stimulation channels running at a multiple of the frequency of
other channels. The default value of 1 means that all stimulation
channels are the same rate (at the selected frequency). The value 2 means
that the _on� channels in the PHASE display are running at twice the rate
of the _off� channels. The rate multiple 2 means that the _off�
stimulation channels in the PHASE display are running at twice the rate of
the _on� channels. Similarly, 3 means a rate multiple of 3.

The RATE MULTIPLE control interacts with the PHASE selection. When a RATE
MULTIPLE other than 1 is selected, a PHASE selection of FOCUS is not
allowed, and will automatically be changed to R/L (there are no _off�
channels in FOCUS). Also, the maximum s timulation rate allowed is 30
Hertz, so when a RATE MULTIPLE of 2 is selected, the maximum FREQUENCY
selection allowed is 15 Hertz (resulting in 30 Hertz in the _other
channels�), and when a RATE MULTIPLE of 3 is selected, the maximum
FREQUENCY allowed is 10 Hertz. The system automatically makes these
adjustments.

PITCH Range: Three octaves (36 notes) The pitch of the pulsed tone and
binaural sound is controlled by the PITCH function. The PITCH selection
is displayed as its piano keyboard name, with a period representing a
sharp (half step above the named note), and a note number. The actual
frequenc y range is from 92.5 Hertz (the second F sharp below middle C) to
689.47 Hertz (the second F above middle C). When the White or Pink noise
tones are selected, PITCH is inactive.

PROGRAM Range:PPP,E,PO1-P25,P30-P39 There are 25 built-in programs, PO1

thru PO25. You can create up to 10 more custom programs of your own,
P30-P39 (which do not exist unless and until you create them). The E
program selection allows you to Enter a program, and is discussed in
ENTERING C USTOM PROGRAMS, page 14. The PPP selection allows you to
change the default values for all functions to custom selections of your
own, and is discussed in PERSONAL PREFERENCE PROGRAM, page 13. The
PROGRAM function is inactive while a program is running.

TIME

The TIME function controls two separate parameters:

1. The running of time that a given stimulation state lasts,
discussed in ENTERING CUSTOM PR0GRAMS, page 14, and
2. The length of time that a given stimulation state lasts,
discussed in ENTERING CUSTOM PROGRAMS, page 14. The TIME function
is not accessed in the normal cycling thru functions by the SELECT
key. See the sections referenced above for the used of the TIME
function.

ADVANCED FEATURES

CAUTION

The PERSONAL PREFERENCE PROGRAM and custom programs involve storing

information in internal memory. Rapid on-off cycles (less than one
second) do not allow the system time to reset properly, and may cause loss
of information. Be careful of moving the PW R switch from BATT directly
to ON, or vice versa, too quickly.

PERSONAL PREFERENCE PROGRAM

All functions have built-in default values that are in effect until you
change them. Some functions, particularly VOLUME and INTENSITY, can be
distinctly personal and you may prefer some value other than the built-in
value. To save you the inconvenienc e of setting your preferred values
each time the system is turned on, the PERSONAL PREFERENCE PROGRAM is
provided.

To store your own personal preferences, select the PROGRAM function, and
press DOWN until PPP (Personal Preference Program) is displayed. Then
press ENTER - the PROGRAM light will blink, indicating that you are now
ready to enter information. Don�t wor ry about mistakes, they are easy to
correct. Select each function in turn that you want to control, and select
the default value that you want. For example, if you want to select
Program 3, Volume 75, and Intensity 90, just manipulate SELECT, UP and
DOWN until those functions display the values you want. You can cycle
thru all the functions again with SELECT to be sure everything is the way
you want it. Then press and hold ENTER until the display goes blank.
Release ENTER, and your personal preferences will be recorded, and will
come up whenever the system is turned on. After using the system for
awhile, you may find that your preferences have changed. No problem �
just record the new values the same way.

CHANGING PROGRAM RUN TIME

To run a program faster or slower than its normal time:
* Select the program you want, and press ENTER just as if you were
going to run the program normally.
* During the 10 second countdown, press SELECT. The TIME function
will be selected, and the normal running time of the program in
minutes will be displayed.
* Use UP and DOWN to select shorter (down to 5 minutes) or longer
(up to 60 minutes, with a maximum of 4 times the normal program time)
running times.
* When the time you want is displayed, press SELECT again to
continue the countdown.

ENTERING CUSTOM PROGRAMS

After experimenting with the built-in programs, and the various

stimulation options available, you may want to create your own stimulation
programs. The PR-2X system provides for storage of 10 such custom
programs at one time. You can always overwrite a n old program with a new
one, but you cannot store more than 10 at once. The custom program that
you enter will be labeled P30 thru P39 in the PROGRAM function display.
The program entry process is simple, but does not allow editing like a
word processo r. To change an incorrect entry, you must start over. For
this reason, we suggest that you write down the sequence of stimulation
states that you want your program to perform. A form for this purpose is
provided with your system � make copies so you al ways have a blank
original. To enter your custom program:
* Select the PROGRAM function. Press DOWN until E is displayed.
* Press and release ENTER. The display will shift to the next unused
program number, or P30 if all program numbers have been used. Use UP and
DOWN to select any program number from P30 through the next available
number. You cannot skip over unused program numbers. Select the pro gram
number that you want to enter, and press and release ENTER. The function
light will blink, indicating that you are entering information. You are
now ready to enter your custom program. Your custom program is a sequence
of timed stimulation states, so repeat the following steps as often as
required to enter all the states you have designed:

* Using SELECT, UP, and DOWN, set all functions to the values you
want for your stimulation state. Use the stimulation goggles and
headphones to be sure you have things the way you want them. You can use
SELECT to cycle through all functions and verif y the displays. When
everything is right, press and release ENTER. The TIME light will light.

* Use UP and DOWN to select the period of time you want your
stimulation state to last. The minimum is 1 second, the maximum will be
20 minutes or less. Minutes are to the left of the decimal point, seconds
to the right. When the time you want is dis played, press ENTER. Your
stimulation states and its time will be recorded, and the FREQUENCY
function will be automatically selected. The system is now ready for your
next stimulation states. (repeat the step above).

* When all your stimulation states have been entered, press and hold
ENTER until the display goes blank. Release ENTER.

Your program is now stored, and can be run in the same way as a built-in
program.

PROGRAM ENTRY CAPACITY

Each custom program can store 200 bytes of information. If you compose a
long program with a lot of stimulation state changes, you may run out of
memory. The system will automatically terminate program entry and return
the system to the manual state if this happends � the program as far as
you entered it will be intact. To save space so the maximum number of
stimulation states can be entered, note the following tips:
* When a stimulation states can be entered, every function that has
changed in value is recorded. If you experiment with a function, changing
its value, and then restore the original value, the system still treats
this as a change and records the value. So be sure to change only the
functions you want to change.
* Changes in FREQUENCY, PHASE, DUTY CYCLE, RATE MULTIPLE, and TONE
takes one byte to record. Changes in PITCH, VOLUME, and INTENSITY take
two bytes each. The time duration of a stimulation states takes one byte.
There are approximately ten bytes of _ overhead� to get a program started
and terminated correctly.

The maximum time duration of a program is 60 minutes. When the time of a

stimulation state is entered, the system will automatically limit your
maximum choice to a value that approximately fills out the 60 minutes. If
you reach the 60 minute limit, the program will automatically be
terminated, just as it is for using up all the all the available memory.

ADDENDUM

Autopilot TM, or AP TM for short, is a series of 5 programs that have been

added to the original 25 programs found in the PR-2X system. Each AP
program is assigned to category of brain-wave frequencies. They are Super
Beta (30-40 hertz), Beta (15-30 hz ), Alpha (7-14 hz), Theta (4-7 hz), and
Delta (1-5 hz). Each time a particular AP TM program is run the PR-2X
system will generate a NEW & UNIQUE program targeted to the range specific
to it! For example, each time an Alpha _AUTOPILOT TM� program is se
lected the system will automatically generate a new and unique program
that will have target frequencies in the Alpha range. Furthermore, if you
like and enjoy the program that the AUTOPILOT TM feature generates, you
will have the option to save or _capt ure� the program (up to 10 different
ones) when it is finished! This AP TM feature provides virtually an
unlimited number of built-in programs and is only available from Mind Gear
TM.

STARTING AN _AUTOPILOT TM _ PROGRAM

Beginning an _AUTOPILOT TM� program is exactly the same as running any

other program. First you must determine which brain-wave frequency range
you wish to be stimulated at. Your choices are Super Beta, Beta, Alpha,
Theta and Delta. Once you have made your decision, all you have to do is
select the appropriate program and press the enter key.

The _AUTOPILOT+� programs are located just below Program P01. Therefore,
when you first turn your system on and it displays P01 you will need to
press the down key until the appropriate _AUTOPILOT+� program is
displayed. The options are displayed as follo ws:

For Delta Frequency (1-4 hz) programs the display will show: APd
For Theta Frequency (4-7 hz) programs the display will show: APH
For Alpha Frequency (7-14 hz) programs the display will show: APA
For Beta Frequency (15-30 hz) programs the display will show: APb
For Super Beta Frequency (30-40 hz) programs display will show: APS

Once you have the correct _AUTOPILOT+� program displayed, all you have to
do is press the enter key and the system will begin the 10 second
countdown just like any other program. Please note that all _AUTOPILOT+�
programs are preset to run for 30 minutes. You can change the length of
time on these programs just like any other. Please refer to the manual for
how to change the time of any program.

SAVING AN _AUTOPILOT+� PROGRAM

After running an _AUTOPILOT+� program the PR-2X system will automatically

assign a new program number and prompt you to decide if you wish to save
the program that just finished under that number. If you wish to save the
program for playback later, you MU ST press the ENTER key FIRST before any
other key and the program will be saved under the number that was
flashing. If you first press any other key beside the ENTER key, the just
completed program will be LOST and NOT SAVED! NOTE: We suggest that you
tak e the time to write down the program number and the type of program it
is so you may refer to it later. Also, all user defined or _AUTOPILOT+�
generated programs are displayed with the letter U (for user) preceding
the program number.

If you do not wish to save the _AUTOPILOT+� program, then simply hit the
select key and the system will not save the program.

ERASING ALL THE STORED CUSTOM PROGRAMS

To erase all the stored custom programs follow these steps: 1) Turn system
on and use the down key until the letters ErA appear. 2) Press the ENTER
key - the system will now begin alternatively flashing all the indicator
lights & the word ErA. 3) Press the enter key again if you want to erase
ALL the programs and the Personal Preferences. 4) The System will now go
totally blank for about 5 seconds and when done will display P01.
