May be you should try what says the manual as there is no timing needed for those steps to work.
My unit begs to differ and until I did some fiddling around this evening I couldn't tell what I was doing "wrong". Mine is a February device so newer/older units may not behave the exact same way as the maker tweaks the programming along the way.
The manual does state the process differently but the way I suggested skips a button press. Either works from my testing just now but let's start with the manual way.
First off, what it doesn't say is that you have to keep holding the button down for additional time (I'll get to that) after the vibration stops before you let it go. I know when it's ok to release because there is a red LED that will shine through around the temperature dial. I'm guessing it indicates reached temperature only in session mode. If I try this process from a cold start it takes a few seconds before that red LED shines through. The higher the set temperature, the longer the time span. If I've just used the unit it happens very quickly.
So from the start:
-Turn on the device and put it into session mode (Click, Click, Hold)
-Once the red light starts shining around the temperature dial you can release the button. Turn the temp dial to max and press the button.
-Turn the temp dial to 0 and press the button at which point the LED will go blue (stealth mode 1, vibration disabled, LED enabled) or green (stealth mode 2, vibration enabled, LED disabled).
Repeat the process for the next stealth mode making sure to hold the button for about the same amount of time as the previous step. With the red LED disabled this step can be harder to judge unless the device was just heated and then the amount of time needed to wait will drop. If you're in stealth mode 2/green the device remains there and only removing the battery will reset the device.
If you activate it the way I've been doing it (which I must have read somewhere in this thread, or dreamt lol)
you would:
-Turn the temp dial to max and turn on the device putting it into session mode (Click, Click, Hold)
-Once the red light starts shining around the temperature dial you can release the button.
-Turn the temp dial to 0 and press the button at which point the LED will go blue (purple/blue) or green.
Older units only have the first stealth mode and I'm not sure if the LED changes to blue like it does on mine. I'm guessing your unit behaves differently @Momor ?
edit: I was just looking for an excuse to pull out the instructions. They're just so cool .
