The Acuspark may be used by yourself or with the assistance of a second person. Hold the Acuspark, placing the fingergrips against the index and middle fingers. Position the thumb on the top of the black, spring-loaded plunger. Place the tip of the Acuspark on the area of pain and begin by depressing the plunger until the instrument "clicks." Continue to reposition the instrument around the area of pain, depressing the plunger with an interval of at least 1 - 2 seconds between "clicks." Do not rapidly "click" the instrument.

The difference between you applying the Acuspark to your body and having someone else applying the Acuspark to your body involves the contact needed to complete the circuit. The position of holding the Acuspark in one hand is the same for the second person, but one finger of their opposite hand must be in contact with your body. The person applying the Acuspark to your body needs to be aware that a mild tingle might be felt through their contact finger as the instrument "clicks." This is a normal effect.
