Wearing Your BioElectric Shield
- For convenient electromagnetic radiation protection, wear your BioElectric Shield around your neck. Most people find it easiest to just wear their Shield on a cord, gem necklace or beaded chain. You can wear under your clothing or on top, since it's so attractive. If you don't want to wear it, slip your cord or chain around your belt loop and place it in your pocket, attach to swivel key chain,or pin it in your bra. (See accessories for emf protection pendants)
- How to re-tie the cord: Our product manager now reveals the secret of how she ties the butterfly knot."I put the shield onto the cord first and make sure it is exactly in the middle then I make the loops large enough to fit the shield into them. I also put the loops directly below the shield loop and after I push the shield through the loops I slowly pull both cords equally until the knot is directly over the shield's top loop then I snug it up tight."

- The Shower:Your Shield is soldered together at 1400 degrees Fahrenheit! It's waterproof. You can wear it in the shower, or in the ocean or a lake. Chlorinated pools will tarnish a silver shield in minutes!
- Washing Machines - If your Shield goes through the washer, simply recharge it the next day. The crystal matrix is embedded in a holding material that cushions it and makes it resistant to high heat or extreme cold. Running the Shield through a dryer isn't a great idea, though and can be hard on the finish. If you do this, or have washed your Shield a bunch of times, consider sending it back for a recharge

How to tie an adjustable, sliding knot in Your Black Cord

Polishing Your BioElectric Shield
We recommend that you polish your Shield occasionally, but a dull shield will perform at nearly the same effectiveness as a polished one. The most important thing you can do is recharge your shield regularly.
What kind of polishing cloth should you use?
There are many kinds of polishing cloths - and there is one that is the BEST one in the industry. Some leave a red rouge on your hands when you are done, and others simply don't work very well. We called the top jewelry supplier in the USA and asked them what the best polishing cloth was. They told us, and we ordered it in packs of 100! It's available - and we recommend you get 2 at a time to save on shipping - or get one when you order your shield. Order our fantastic Polishing Kit!!!
If you prefer, you can use ordinary silver polish, or a polishing cloth for your silver shield, but our cloth works great with all jewelry and lasts a long time!. For a gold shield, a polishing cloth or soft cloth will suffice.
If you have a satin finish shield, we do recommend our Polishing Kit. The kit contains a polishing cloth and a buffing pad that will restore the satin, textured finish of your Shield.
Solar Recharging Your EMF Protection Shield
For maximum EMF protection performance, keep your Shield at 100% power for the rest of your life either by charging regularly at home, or send to us every few years for a recharge.
Recharge Your BioElectric Shield at Home
Recharge your EMF Protection Shield monthly, or at least 3-4 times per year.In 2009, we increased the power of our Crystal Charging Room so that you don't have to recharge your Shield every month. We personally continue to recharge it the first weekend of each month because it's just easier to remember. The good news is that you can go on a vacation and not worry you are missing a month or two.
If you get our newsletter you'll receive reminders to recharge it - and other upbeat news.
- To charge: hang your EMF Protection Shield either in a window, or preferably, outdoors, rain or shine, for 6 hours during the day. We recommend you choose one weekend a month (the first weekend is easy to remember for many of us). We usually set a timer, or put it in a place we will walk by later in the day

- Outdoor tip: An easy way to hang your shield outside is to loop your shield over a lawn chair. You want it to dangle in mid-air so all sides are exposed.
- Hang in Window: If necessary, install a hook in your window so the Shield can dangle freely inside your window. We recommend 8 hours if recharging in a window.
- Car: We've even had people recharge the shield inside their car by hanging on rear-view mirror.
- DO NOT LEAVE SHIELD IN THE MOONLIGHT. Moonlight will drain your shield instead of recharging it! The moon is the reflected light and energy from the sun, and has the opposite energy polarity than the sun. Tip: If you tend to forget your Shield, do your recharging during a new moon (dark of the moon), that way if you forget it there's no moonlight to cause problems.
- Regular recharging will keep your shield in top condition for years to come.

If you forget and your EMF Protection Shield hangs overnight in the moonlight?
- A rule of thumb is to hang it out twice as many hours as it was exposed to moonlight. You need to recharge your shield for the next 2 days to restore to 100% functioning.
- If you have any doubt about the strength of your shield, you can make sure it's working at maximum efficiency by sending to have re-polished and re-charged in our crystal room. You can request that our consultant personally examine your shield to make sure it is at 100% power after it's been recharged. If it's not, it will be placed in the Crystal Room until a full charge is achieved. (If this is not possible we will call you, but this seldom happens!)
Does it have to be sunny out? Can I charge it with salt water or full-spectrum lights? Will it charge up when I am wearing it on a sunny day?
- It does not have to be sunny out. The energy from the sun, not just the light, is rejuvenating the energy of the crystal matrix. This energy will be conducted through the metal to the crystals and recharge them even if it is cloudy, or hung in a window that doesn't get bright light.
- If you are hanging it in a window that blocks certain parts of the light spectrum, leave your Shield for 8 hours.
- Even if you are in sunlight, it will not recharge while you are wearing it. When you are wearing a Shield it is not in the "input" mode, it is in the "output" mode, which means it will be strengthening you as well as deflecting negative energy away from you.
- Salt water or full-spectrum lights don't recharge your Shield.
Does the EMF Protection Shield have to be cleansed? Does it pick up negative energy?
- When you are wearing a Shield it is not in the "input" mode. It is in the "output" mode, which means it will be deflecting negative energy away from you, not absorbing it. Therefore, the shield does not need to be "cleansed: with salt water or other traditional ways of cleansing crystals.
- The reason the Shield needs to be recharged is that the crystals will fatigue over time, it takes energy to do the work the Shield is doing for you. This can be compared to a rechargeable battery. Over time, the batteries need to be recharged or they will stop working. With the shield, as long as you charge your shield with regularity, it will work at 100% for years. If you miss a month or 2, just put your Shield out for 2 days in a row instead of 6 hours, and this should return it to full power.
Recharge and Re-polish Your EMF Protection Shield in our Montana Crystal Room
If you feel your Shield may not be performing at the same strength it was when you first received it, you can send your Shield back to our product facility in Montana to be recharged and re-polished. If a Shield is especially depleted, we may put it back in to our charging room for a few extra days. If this is the case, we'll let you know.
- Please allow 7-10 days for recharging and re-polishing, and 7-10 days for return shipping. (Total time 2-3 weeks. Less time if you choose faster return shipping.)
