Guide: Navigating the EMDR Kit Classic Controller

The EMDR Kit Classic is a tactile, "plug-and-play" device designed for reliable EMDR therapy. Unlike the Wireless version, all settings are adjusted directly on the handheld controller using physical buttons.


The Button Interface

  • On/Off & Start/Stop: A brief press turns the controller on. Once active, another brief press starts or pauses the stimuli across all connected parts (Light Tube, Pulsators, and Headphones).

  • Menu [M] Button: This is used to enter the settings menu and cycle through the different adjustment categories.

  • Navigation Arrows: Once you have selected a category with the [M] button, use the Left and Right arrows to change the specific mode or value.

  • Speed (+ / -): Dedicated buttons on the right side to immediately increase or decrease the pace of the session.

  • Volume (+ / -): Dedicated buttons on the left side to adjust auditory levels in real-time.


Settings Menu (The 7-Step Loop)

Pressing the [M] button cycles through these settings in order. Use the Navigation Arrows (left / right) to adjust them:

  1. Intense: Changes the vibration strength of the Pulsators.

  2. Color: Changes the color of the light dot (includes a "Random" option).

  3. Light: Switches the Light Tube between Sweeping (smooth movement) or Blinking (jumping from end to end).

  4. Width: Narrows or widens the horizontal path the light dot travels.

  5. Bright: Adjusts the brightness level of the Light Tube.

  6. Audio: Toggles between Regular (consistent) or Random (irregular) sound patterns.

  7. Tone: Adjusts the pitch height of the auditory pips.


Power and Battery Indicators

The display screen uses specific symbols to show the power status:

  • Animated Battery (Empty → Half → Full sequence): The controller is currently charging

  • Full Battery Icon: Charging is complete, or the battery is full

  • Partially Filled Battery: The battery is partially full and currently in use without a power connection

  • Empty Battery (Outline only): The battery is nearly empty and requires immediate charging. 


Quick Maintenance Tips

  • Auto-Shutdown: The controller will turn off automatically after 1 hour of inactivity to save battery.

  • Reset: If the screen freezes, unplug the power cable, wait 5 seconds, and plug it back in.

  • Connections: Ensure all cables (Light Tube, Pulsators, Headphones) are pushed firmly into the top of the controller. If a connection is loose, the controller may not allow certain settings to be adjusted.
