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 them instantly.
How to connect the cables
Plug the connectors in the slots in the upper part of the unit to connect the diffusers
to the device (see pic.). When plugging in the cable, the grooves of the cable have
to be oriented downwards. The inlets are placed exactly under the corresponding
channels.
ATTENTION: the images are for illustrative purposes only to show the correct insertion
of the connectors into the appropriate slots. It is recommended to unplug the
connectors grabbing the final part with the grooves and not pulling them taking the
cable in the middle.
NOTE: For EMS and TENS currents, the 4 channels with colored cables can be used
indifferently.
Electrode application
Remove the electrodes from the original package; all new electrodes have a seal
on the package. Ensure that the device is off. First, connect the two cable plugs to
the electrodes, then disconnect the electrodes from their position and apply them
on the skin. See the pictures included in this manual to place the electrodes
correctly.
After use, place the electrodes in their original position again.

Battery: how to charge the batteries
The device is supplied with a set of rechargeable nickel-metal hydrate batteries
(7.2V, 1.5Ah).
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 electrostimulator to the charger provided by plugging
it in the appropriate inlet (see picture above).
Use the charger contained in the package only. Contact the authorized service
