The Earthing Connection Cord should now be close to your Earthing product. Attach the other end of the Connection Cord the “Snap Connector” to the press stud of your Earthing™ Product. G. Your Earthing™ Product is now connected and ready to use. Lay, rest or drape it against your bare skin while you work, sleep or relax.
Notes: If you live in a dry area, such as a desert, soak the Earth around the ground rod from time to time for maximum conductivity Alternatively have an electrician install a more permanent solution similar to your cableTV installation, which requires a small holed drilled through the wall and mounting a wall plate.
Splitter - optional accessory. If you wish to share more than one Earthing™ product, or test your products with the Product Tester when using the Ground Rod you will need to use a splitter at the end of the Ground Rod cord. Available under “Accessories Tab” on our website. Multiple splitters maybe joined. www.BarefootHealing.com.au
Always use as directed. Use only Earthing™ approved connecting cords with built-in internal safety features. For your safety, locate any connecting cords in such a way that it does not cause a tripping hazard. Regularly check your outdoor connections

The Product Tester verifies that your Earthing Products are conductive. It does not verify that an Earth is present. It is recommended to test your products regularly.
A. Firstly verify that the Product Tester itself is operational: Press button that says “press” (See 1) and release—the light (See 2) will flash green one time then goes off. Indicates tester is good. If no green light refer to point (D) below.
B. Test the Product: Snap Coil Cord onto Product Tester, if not already assembled (See 3). Have your Ground Rod set up as previous instructions and have the end of the GR cord near your Earthing Product that has its connection cord attached. Insert the Splitter to the end of the Ground Rod cord (See 4). Insert the end of the Earthing Product’s Connection Cord’s metal pin into one side of the splitter. In other side of splitter place the Product Tester’s Connection Cord’s metal pin. Place the Tester on the product making sure that the back metal disk (See 5) is making good contact with the product. Press and hold “press” button (1) for while on conductive side of product. Green light “ON” indicates all is good and product conductive. If no green light, check points C and D below first, otherwise your product may be faulty or its time for a replacement. C. Test Your Product Cords: Replace the coil cord already on the product tester with the cord to be tested. Touch the metal pin (See 6) of the testing cord to the back metal disk (See 5) of the tester. Hold down the “Press” button (1) for at least 3 seconds. A green light indicates that the cord is in good working order. D. Replace Your Product Tester Battery: If the green light does not come on you will need to replace the battery by unscrewing the back panel and inserting a new CR2032 battery. The Product Tester is an optional purchase, unless included in a Starter Kit. You can find them under the “Testing Equipment” tab on our website or page 15 of our catalogue.

***CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS*** BEDDING & RECOVERY BAG: Your new Earthing sheets and recovery bag are made with a natural cotton and silver thread. Please follow the guidelines below for the best possible Earthing experience and to increase the longevity of the silver in your Earthing™ Products. As Silver is used in these products they are naturally anti-bacterial and anti-microbial
DO’s Do wash your sheet at least twice a month Do wash your sheet in a washing machine on a gentle cycle Do wash your sheet with WARM WATER between 40° - 60° Do use a mild liquid laundry detergent, such as Earth Choice Laundry Liquid - NOT Concentrate or Eucalyptus. Do dry in sunshine or in a dryer on low heat or airing if needed. Do use Silver Care every 4th Wash if needed.
It is good to wash your Earthing™ sheet, in fact it is beneficial. Washing in warm water strips body sweat and natural skin oils from the silver keeping it conductive
DONT’S
(Will void warranty)
Don’t wash with bleach, whitening agents or oxi-detergents. Don’t use Natural Detergents containing OILS like lavender or coconut or Natural Whiteners such as Lemon. Don’t use liquid fabric softeners or dryer sheet fabric softeners. Don’t use Wool Wash, Eucalyptus Detergent or Detergents with essential oils. Don’t apply lotions or body oils before going to bed, allow about 2 hours prior to bed. Bleach, body lotions and oils can tarnish the silver thread rendering it non conductive. Fabric softener builds up on the silver and also ruins its conductive properties. SILVER PILLOW CASE: Wash as above, however, due to hair and head oils it is recommended to wash weekly. It is best to wash silver cases with your towels as it helps keep the shine of the silver. THROW & PLUSH PAD: Wash as above directions for bedding, however, depending upon usage wash when required. You may need to wash more often when using with pets. UNIVERSAL MAT, AUTO MAT & YOGA MAT: Use water and any mild soap to periodically clean mat or just wipe with a damp cloth.
