Can I Use the Tabs Without the App?

Yes, the Dharma Dr Tabs can be used without the app by entering Independent Mode. This allows you to start a simple bilateral stimulation session using the built-in default settings, even if your phone is not available.

Independent Mode Overview

• Lights: On, alternating between left and right Tabs
• Vibration: 2 intensity options
• Audio: Off (not available without the app)
• Speed: 3 speed options

How to Use Tabs Without the App

1. Remove the Tabs from the charging case
   The Tabs will power on automatically when removed from the case.
2. Activate Independent Mode
   Press the button on each Tab once if they are not powered on. With both tabs powered, press the button on the tab with ~ symbol to start.
3. Controlling the session
   1. The tab with ~ symbol controls Speed, 3 settings are available. If you click through all the speeds it will return to standby mode.
   2. The tab with volume bar symbol controls Intensity, 2 settings are available. You can freely change intensity without it disrupting the session.
4. End the session
   Click through the Speed settings with the ~ symbol tab until it returns to standby mode and stops.

Limitations of Independent Mode

• Speed and intensity are limited to 3 speed options and 2 intensity options.
• No access to advanced app features (Auto Stop, Cycle Count, Presets, Remote Access).
• No session tracking or summaries.

Troubleshooting

• Tabs not turning on — Make sure they are charged. Place in the case and connect to power for at least 30 minutes.
• No vibration or lights — Press the button on each Tab to confirm Independent Mode is active.
• One Tab not responding — Place both Tabs back in the case, close the lid, wait 10–15 seconds, then remove and try again.

Tips & Best Practices

• Independent Mode is best for short, simple sessions without customization.
• For full control over speed, intensity, lights, vibration, and audio, connect to the Dharma Dr app.
• Always recharge the Tabs after use so they’re ready for the next session.
