I never bother with that. Some users may find that a gradual increase in stimulation is less jarring, but I haven't needed that. If you create a program without a ramp up time and you find the transition from 0 to your set mA to be startling or uncomfortable then you might consider adding a ramp up time of a couple seconds.
I've programmed my first custom program using your suggestions above, the only question I have is about the ramp up time. Did I need to set that to a certain number for this stronger version like P03?
There are very detailed instructions on our Q & A page. Just don't skip anything, go slow, and you'll be fine! You can set and re-set as many times as you need, and if you need any help, just contact customer care directly with where you're running into trouble and we can help you! I would suggest starting with a single phase custom setting. Single phase means just one setting. P08 is 5 phase because it cycles through 5 different settings during the course of a single program. A good, strong jump from P03 would be 50 Hz and 250 uS. Increase the work time to 15 and rest to 15. This should work your muscles more strongly and may cause some muscle soreness the day following the workout. If you still feel this soreness after about a week, you should skip to working out every other day and let your muscles catch up with building new fibers. Then go back to daily once the soreness disappears.
