CONNECTIONS
Cable connection outlets and power supply
Attention:
If the package, the cable or the connector of the charger show signs of wear or
damage, replace it instantly.
How to connect the cables
To connect the cables to the device, plug them in the intended inlets in the upper
part of the unit (see picture). Insert the cables with the grooves facing downwards.
The inlets are placed exactly under the corresponding channels.
NOTE: For EMS and TENS currents use indifferently the 4 channels with colored
cables. For microcurrents use only channels 1 and 3. For ionophoresis use only
channel 1.
Electrode application
Take the electrodes from the original package; all new electrodes have a seal on
the package. Be sure that the device is off. To start, connect the two cable plugs to
the electrodes, then disconnect the electrodes from their position and apply them
on the skin. To place the electrodes correctly, see the pictures included in this
manual.
After the use, place the electrodes in their original position again.
ATTENTION: Do not unplug the electrodes if the unit is working.

Battery: how to charge the batteries
The device is supplied with a set of rechargeable nickel-metal hydrate batteries
(7.2V, 1.5Ah), which have high performance without storage effect.
Recharge the batteries when the battery indicator on the display indicates ¼.
To charge the batteries, turn off the electrostimulator and disconnect the
electrodes, then connect the elctrostimulator to the charger provided by inserting
the plug in the appropriate inlet (see picture above).
Do not use a different charger from the one provided with the device. To replace
the electrostimulator's batteries, contact the authorized service center.

18
Rev. 1 del 24.10.2017
- If there is any health problem, it must be used only after seeing a doctor.
- A simultaneous connection of the patient to a high frequency electrosurgery
device can cause burns where the electrodes are placed and the electrostimulator
can result damaged.
-After turning on the device, make sure that in the display the software version and
the model of the device appear, it means that the device is working and it is ready
to be used.
If not, or in the display all the segments do not appear, turn it off and on again. If
the problem persists, contact the service center and do not use the device.
- An unexpected switching-off of the device means that the battery has run-down.
Charge it according to the instructions in the paragraph: how to charge the
batteries.
Warnings during the use
While using the electrostimulator some warnings should be followed:
- In case of damaged cables, they must be replaced with original parts and no
longer used.
- Use only Globus branded electrodes.
- Pay particular attention when the current density for every electrode is above
2mA/cm2 (effective value).
- The device must be kept out of the reach of any pet that could damage it and
contaminate electrodes and other accessories with parasites.
- The cables of the electrostimulation should not be wrapped around people's neck
to avoid any risk of strangulation and suffocation.
- The mobile and fixed radio communications devices could influence the
functioning of the electromedical device: see the tables attached to this manual.
Preventative measures to take using the device for incontinence treatments.
- Patients with extra-urethral incontinence should not be treated with the
electrostimulator.
- Patients suffering excessive incontinence due to evacuation problems should not
be treated with the electrostimulator.
- Patients with severe urinary retention to the upper urinary passages should not be
treated with the stimulator.
- Patients with total peripheral denervation of the pelvic floor should not be treated
with the stimulator.
- Patients suffering of a total/subtotal prolapse of the uterus/vagina should be
stimulated with extreme care.
- Patients with infections to the urinary passages should be treated for these
symptoms before starting the stimulation treatment.
- Before removing or touching the probe it is necessary to turn off the stimulator or to
regulate the intensity of both the channels on 0,0 mA.

19
Rev. 1 del 24.10.2017
- The treatment is a personalized medical prescription: do not borrow the stimulator
to other persons.
Side effects
Isolated incidents of skin irritation may occur in subjects with high epidermal
sensitiveness.
In case of an allergic reaction to the electrode gel, suspend the treatment and
contact a specialist.
If during the treatment signs of tachycardia and extrasystole appear, suspend the
treatment and contact your physician.
Contraindications
Do not use the device in the following cases:
- Stimulation of the front part of the neck (carotid sinus).
- Pacemaker weavers.
- Patients with tumor diseases (see your oncologist).
- Stimulation of the brain region.
