Drug free pain relief solution.
Also helps to tone the muscles of leg,
buttocks, abdominal and arms as well as
increasing the strength.
The individual intensity setting of each
channel also allows you to massage two
different parts of the body at the same time.
Three Different modes

1) TENS ( Transcutaneous Electrical
Nerve Stimulation) means Electrical
Stimulation of Nerves through the
skin.
2) EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation)

the device and push it to the left side.
2. Install 3 AAA 1.5 V alkaline batteries.
Ensure that you insert the batteries with
the correct polarity as marked.
3. Replace the battery cover carefully.
4. Attach the connecting cable to the
electrodes.
Note: The electrodes have a clip fastener to
ensure easy connection.
5. Insert the connecting cable connectors
into the socket at the bottom of the
device.
6. Do not pull, twist or make any sharp
angles in the cables.
If the device is not used within 3 minutes, it
switches off automatically (automatic switch

unintentional pressing of a key is detected.
This signal tone cannot be switched off.
If an admissible key is pressed, there is one
short beep. If an inadmissible key is pressed,
there are two short beeps.
Electrodes placement
For the desired success of any stimulation
application, it is important that electrodes
are placed sensibly. The electrode positions
are suggested on page no.18 & 19 , (Figs. 1–
32) as a guide.
Electrode distance

Chapter 5 MAINTENANCE
1. In order to increase the life of the
electrodes, they should be cleaned
carefully with a damp lint free cloth.
2. After use, stick the electrodes onto the
plasticlm.
3. Clean the unit after use with a soft,
slightly moistened cloth. In case of more
extreme soiling you can also moisten the
cloth with mild soapy water.
4. Ensure that no water penetrates into the
device. If this should ever happen, only
use the device again once it is completely
dry.
5. Do not use any chemical cleaners or
abrasive agents for cleaning.
6. Remove the batteries from the unit if you
are not going to use it for longer period.
Leaking batteries can damage the unit.
7. Used batteries must be disposed off at
the BATTERY waste collection centres You
are under legal obligation to dispose off
the batteries correctly.
8. Do not make any sharp bends in the
connecting leads and electrodes.
9. Detach the connecting cable from the
electrodes after use.
10.Store the device in a cool, well-ventilated
place.
11.Never place any heavy objects on the
device.

15
Problems and solutions
The device does not switch on when
the ON/OFF key is pressed. What
should I do?
1. Make sure that the batteries are Installed
with right polarity.
2. Change the batteries if necessary.
3. Contact customer service.
The electrodes are detaching
themselves from the body. What
should I do?
1. Clean the adhesive surface of the
electrodes with a damp, lint-free cloth.
Then let them dry in the air and attach
them again. Should the electrodes still
notadherermly,theymustbereplaced.
2. Before each application, clean the skin,
avoiding using any skin cream or oils
before treatment. Shaving can increase
adhesion of the electrodes.
The device is giving out abnormal
signal tones during treatment. What
should I do?
1. Look at the display. Is any channel
flashing? Interrupt the program by
pressing the ON/OFF key. Make sure
that the connecting leads are properly
connected to the electrodes. Make sure
thatthereisarmcontactbetween the
electrodes and the treatment area.
2. Make sure that the plug of the connecting
leadisrmlyconnectedtothedevice.
3. If the signal tones do not stop and the
channelisashing,changetheconnecting
cable.
4. If the display shows a flashing battery
signal, change the batteries.
There is no noticeable stimulation.
What should I do?
1. If a warning signal sounds, go through the
steps described above.
2. Press the ON/OFF key to start the
program again.
3. Check that the electrodes are positioned
properly and make sure that the adhesive
electrodes are not overlapping.
4. Increase pulse intensity in stages.
5.Thebatterylifenishedneed
replacement.

16
In case electrodes gives uncomfortable
feeling, what should I do?
1. The electrodes are badly positioned.
Check positioning and if necessary
reposition the electrodes.
2. The electrodes are worn. Due to the fact
that current distribution can no longer
be guaranteed evenly over the entire
surface, these may lead to skin irritation.
You must therefore replace these.
The skin in the treatment area
becomes red. What should I do?
Stop treatment immediately and wait
until the skin has returned to normal. If
any redness beneath the electrode soon
disappears, this is not dangerous and is
due to the increased circulation which has
been stimulated locally. If, however, the
skin irritation remains and there is possibly
itchingorinammation,
Please consult your doctor before further
use. It may possibly be caused by an allergy
to the adhesive surface.
