Setting the Intensity
When rst beginning the treatment session make sure all
of the channel intensity knobs are in the OFF position by
twisting them all the way left until they click and the channel
indicator LCD is no longer illuminated.
Begin by slowly increasing the intensity until you feel a
tingling sensation. Depending on the desired e󰀨ect, the
intensity plays a major role in the e󰀨ectiveness of the
session:
For EMS (Muscle Training / Active Recovery)
For EMS training and active recovery you need to ensure
that the muscles are optimally contracting. In order to do so,
increase the intensity of the stimulation until you can feel and
see the muscles contract. A setting between 5-10 typically
works best.
For TENS (Pain Relief)
For TENS therapy the goal is to achieve immediate pain
relief. Adjust the intensity as needed to alleviate pain.

power level of 2.5. You can see the
channel is active when the LCD above
the knob is green.

Program Guide
The Rx-8000 incorporates some of the most advanced TENS
& EMS technology in the world into each of our 9 unique
Body IQ programs. Whether your goal is strength training,
endurance, pain relief, or recovery, the Rx-8000 allows
you to achieve your goals quickly, and with scientically
engineered waveforms designed for best results.
KNEE & ELBOW
This program is a combination of
rapid pulses followed by a series of
slower more deliberate contractions.
This mixture is very e󰀨ective in
eliminating knee and elbow pain
because of high cartilage and bone
density. Recommended stimulation
time is 20-30 minutes.
Placeholder
Body IQ Programs
The Rx-8000 o󰀨ers 6 unique Body IQ
programs designed for individual body
parts which are located in the purple
button bank.
HIP
This Hip program produces a strong,
steady, and deeply penetrating
frequency that is critical in preventing
hip pain. The HIP frequency is also
designed for people who su󰀨er from
sciatic nerve pain. Stim time 20-40
minutes.

BACK
ARM & LEG
SHOULDER
FOOT & SOLE
The Back program o󰀨ers a
combination of deep penetrating
therapy, coupled with soft and gentle
pulses allowing you to treat a variety
of back pain from tightness, to sore or
strained muscles. This program works
best when used with the Back & Ab
Belt Pro. Stim time 20-30 minutes.
The Arm and Leg program uses a
series of 4 unique cycles that are
designed to reach deeply into the
muscles of the leg and arm. Beginning
with a series of rapid pulses, followed
by smooth powerful contractions, and
nishing with short deep deliberate
pulses. Stim time 20-40 minutes
The shoulder program is designed
for all areas related to the shoulder
muscles in order to prevent pain in
the upper back, neck, and shoulder
area. The Shoulder program cycles
throughout multiple frequencies. Stim
time 20-30 minutes.
The Foot & Sole Program is designed
to increase blood ow to the ankle,
foot, and toes. It is recommended
to use this frequency with our
therapy sandals, or the smaller 2”x2”
electrodes. Stim time 15-30 minutes.

EMS Programs
The Rx-4000 o󰀨ers 3 unique Body IQ programs designed
to tone, rm, and strengthen muscles.
Abdominal Toning Strength Training Active Recovery
Abdominal Toning
Core Muscle Strength is the most important factor for
overall body mechanics. A strong core is crucial for injury
prevention. The abdominal muscles are one of the most
important muscle groups for tness and wellness.
The Abdominal Toning Frequency with the Rx-4000 utilizes
cutting edge research to deliver the most e󰀨ective and
comfortable workout. The Abdominal Toning Frequency
relies on a deep penetrating and rhythmic frequency in order
to stimulate a thorough contraction.
The Abdominal Toning frequency works best when used with
the StimRX Ab Belt Pro.
Recommended Stim Time: 30-45 Minutes

FlexTone Rx-4000 User Manual
Strength Training
Since the Early 1970’s athletes have turned to EMS, or
electrical muscle stimulation, to push their strength to
another level. By incorporating EMS into your workout
routine, or even by itself, you can increase your muscle
performance, strength, and tone.
The Strength Training Program on the Rx-4000 utilizes state-
of-the-art Russian Stim (2500hz Packets) adapted to include
proper rest time between contractions, allowing the muscle
bers to contract and increase strength, while remaining
comfortble.
The Strength Training Program is more e󰀨ective the higher
the intensity is turned up. We recommend a level just below
your maximum threshold in order to get the most e󰀩cient
results.
Recommended Stim Time: 30 Minutes

FlexTone Rx-4000 User Manual
Active Recovery
Active recovery, as opposed to passive recovery, is the
stimulation and exercise of a muscles in the o󰀨-day of
training. The purpose of active recovery is to stimulate
muscles, decrease recovery time, increase strength, and
reduce pain associated with DOMS, or Delayed Onset
Muscle Soreness. Active recovery works by:
• Removing waste build-up
• Bringing nourishment to muscles
• Stimulating the production of myokines
What are some benets of active recovery
with Electronic Muscle Stimulation?
Electronic muscle stimulation provides one of the best forms
of active recovery because of its low impact deployment,
coupled with convenience and control. Electronic Muscle
Stimulation allows the user to pinpoint specic muscles for
treatment, while using very little amounts of energy. Active
recovery with EMS is comfortable, convenient, and highly
e󰀨ective.
StimRX - Active Recovery Perfected
The StimRX Active Recovery Program is a unique blend of
frequencies including both TENS and EMS which provide the
most e󰀩cient and e󰀨ective Electronic Active Recovery on the
market.
PRO
TIP
Active Recovery should be performed at
about 60% intensity of regular exercise to
avoid over-exerting your muscles.

Electrode Care & Life
To get the most benet from your electrodes, be sure your
skin is free from dirt, oil and body lotion. The electrodes will
disperse stimulation more e󰀨ectively with little or no hair in
the desired treatment area, so we recommend removing any
hair in the area to be treated. The lifespan of the electrode
pads will vary depending on how often you use them and
how you care for them. Keeping electrode pads clean and
stored on the original sheet, and sealed in the zip lock bag
after each use will extend their lifespan. If your electrodes
are no longer able to adhere to the skin properly, make sure
to replace them in order to maximize dispersion and comfort.
EXTENDING ELECTRODE LIFE
The electrodes typically have a cloth or foam backing, and
a sticky gel coating that conducts electricity. The gel is the
“middle man” between the wire and the skin. Our electrodes
are hypo-allergenic, and constructed with water-based
material. Keep adhesive electrodes away from heat and
cold. Electrode life is prolonged when they are stored at
room temperature.
• To revive the adhesive gel just take your nger, pass
it under some running water, and wipe a few drops on
the sticky side of the pad. The water will soak in and
rehydrate the surface, giving the electrode pad some
extra life!
