TimeWarp
WARNING THIS IS A BETA RELEASE MANUAL NOT FOR 2.106 FIRMWARE
Time warp allows you to increase the time ranges certain modes use on the 2B. Time Warp offers values from x1 to x32. In other words, if a particular mode cycled at 1 pulse per second with time warp that could increase the delay between pulses to 2 seconds with Time Warp set to x2 and around 32 seconds with time Warp set to x32
Changing TimeWarp Values
To change the TimeWarp values, press the Select Button once and rotate the Adjust Control to select Time Warp
Now press the Select Button to enter Time Warp selection.

Join Controls
WARNING THIS IS A BETA RELEASE MANUAL NOT FOR 2.106 FIRMWARE
Joining Controls (A+B Mode)
When you first switch your 2B unit on, both the Channel A and Channel B controls are independent. However If you select the join mode (A+B) then the two controls become linked, giving you effectively one handed operation.
When you turn the Channel A control up, the Channel B value will also rise, if you turn it down, the Channel B channel will reduce as well. If you adjust the Channel B control when the join mode is active, then you can adjust the relative levels of each channel.
To Join or unjoin the Controls
Press the Select Button. on the front of your 2B. This will take you into the mode select option system.The exact mode display will depend on your current mode.
Now Rotate the Adjust Control until you see 25 A&B Chan Link
Press the Select Button,
now rotate the Adjust Control until you see either On
or Off
Now press the Select Button to select the your chosen join status.
You can see the current join status from the display. If join is active a '>' will be shown to show the current master control, in this case Channel A.
Tickle Level

Extreme | Level changes by 8% each step |
Output Maps
WARNING THIS IS A BETA RELEASE MANUAL NOT FOR 2.106 FIRMWARE
What is an output map?
Output maps are a way of offering a different response between the control level and the output level. Some people want more control at one end, others want more control at higher levels, and some might want something in the middle. Many modern cars have a similar system - allowing the car to be more responsive for 'Sport' driving or provide more torque for off roading. Another way of looking at output maps is think if the gears in the car - the engine revs over a fixed range, but the gears provide changes in torque, so first gear allows you to pull away, while fifth gear allows you to cruise, all from the same engine.
With the 2B we offer 3 output maps, where the level set on the display (66%) ‘maps’ to a specific level feeling for each level chosen. This means you can select a map more suited to the sensations you enjoy. Map A will give a linear response and feels more powerful, faster, Map B starts slower giving people who want more control over the lower end, and Map C is similar to the classic 2.106 firmware. The maps can also feel different depending on what power setting you are using. The human body does not respond to E-Stim in a linear manner - 40% will not feel twice as powerful as 20%, so it is a case of experiment and find out what works for you.
The image above is a rough graphical representation to indicate different maps - it is not accurate!!.
To Change the Output Map
Press the Select Button. on the front of your 2B. This will take you into the mode select option system. The initial mode shown will depend on what mode you where in before pressing the Select Button.
Now rotate the central Adjust Knob clockwise until you can see the 'Output Map' Option on the LCD screen.
Press the Select Button. The exact Output Map shown on initial entry into the output map selection is set by what ever was last set (It is one of the values that are retained when the 2B is switched off).
By rotating the Adjust Knob you can cycle between the different output maps A-C. The output map is only selected once you press the Select Button.
Once you have chosen the output map you require, press the Select button to engage the map. The 2B will now jump back to the mode select screen,
Now select the mode you wish to use and continue. The current output map will display as a small icon on the bottom line.
The 2B will use the same output map until you change it, or you perform a Factory Reset.
Power Selection & Bias
WARNING THIS IS A BETA RELEASE MANUAL NOT FOR 2.106 FIRMWARE
The 2B is capable of operating in multiple power levels, indicated by a ‘L’ , ‘H’ or ‘D’ in the display (centre bottom line). This gives you a wide range of play compared to single level units as each power setting is controllable from 0-100%. These is some overlap between low and High, so experiment to find a level suitable for your needs.If you don't want the risk of going too high, then stick to using the LOW setting. If you want the flexibility of using the entire range of the 2B, then Dynamic is what you should consider.
Don't forget than using an E-Stim Systems Power supply will automatically give you around a 30% increase in power, and will last far longer than a battery.
To Change the Power Level
Press the Select Button. on the front of your 2B. This will take you into the mode select option system. The initial mode show will depend on what mode you where in before pressing the Select Button.
Now rotate the central Adjust Knob clockwise until you can see the 'Power Level' Option on the LCD screen.
Press the Select Button. The exact Power level shown on initial entry into the Power level selection is set by what ever was last set (It is one of the values that are retained when the 2B is switched off).
By rotating the Adjust Control you can cycle between the different power levels.
Once you have chosen the power level you require, press the Select button to engage the level. The 2B will now jump back to the mode select screen,
Choose your mode and continue to play with the new power setting.
Power Levels
As mentioned above, once you have selected the power level, the 2B will stay in the same power setting until either you select the other power mode, or perform a Factory Reset.
The currently selected power mode is displayed on all program screens as a ‘L’, ‘H’ or ‘D’.
Dynamic Mode
Dynamic mode merges the power settings of Low and High to create a single power setting that at low values is similar to low values on ‘L’ and at high values is similar to ‘H’ settings, so in dynamic mode there is no need to switch between ‘L’ and ‘H’. The actual level is dependent on the tracking source selected, So a selected source will ‘bias’ the power setting. Setting of the bias source is via a menu option and the options are
Max The maximum channel value shown is used. So if Channel A is set to 10% and Channel B is set to 80% the bias source will be B.
Avg The Average of Channel A and Channel B are used.
A Channel A is used
B Channel B is used.
To Change the Dynamic Bias Source
Press the Select Button. on the front of your 2B. This will take you into the mode select option system. The initial mode show will depend on what mode you where in before pressing the Select Button.
Now rotate the central Adjust Knob clockwise until you can see the 'Dynamic Bias' Option on the LCD screen.
Press the Select Button. The exact dynamic bias shown on initial entry into the bias selection is set by what ever was last set (It is one of the values that are retained when the 2B is switched off).
By rotating the Adjust Control you can cycle between the different bias source settings.
Once you have chosen the bias source you require, press the Select button to engage the bias source. The 2B will now jump back to the mode select screen,
The power selection and bias setting are both remembered when the 2B is powered off, and can be reset to the default ‘MAX’ by using a Factory Reset. The current bias setting is not shown on the main display screen, and is only active when the Power Setting is set to Dynamic.
