About this product
■Intended purpose
This product is a massage appliance that combines low frequency and heating (this product is
not a medical instrument).
This instrument releases low frequency current to the body through electrodes attached on the
body, which triggers vibration that is utilized to massage tired body parts. Furthermore, electric
heat is used to provide heat for relaxing the muscles.
The product is designed for home use.
■What is low frequency instrument?
This instrument releases low frequency current to the body through electrodes attached on the
body, which triggers vibration that is utilized to massage tired body parts.
■What is heating instrument?
Applying heat on human body dilates the blood vessels due to the rise in temperature of the
skin, which in turn promotes better circulation of blood.
■Rough standard on operating time
Approximately 15 minutes per site is the rough standard of operation. Continuing beyond
15 minutes can cause poor health.
The product incorporates a timer that automatically turns o󱐯 power when about 15 minutes are
elapsed since the start of an operation.
Wipe all sweat or moisture from the skin prior to use.
