Features of the Product
The OMRON HV-F127 Electronic Nerve Stimulator is an electro-therapeutic device
working according to the TENS principle (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve
Stimulation).
The HV-F127 Electronic Nerve Stimulator enables you to reduce and relieve your pain symptoms.
The treatment alleviates muscle and nerve pain through gentle stimulation. But always remember
that pain also has a very important warning function, telling us that something is wrong. If you
suffer from any serious illness, consult your doctor in order to confirm whether you can use the
Electronic Nerve Stimulator.
For active people, it provides a massaging experience which has a very beneficial effect on muscle
and shoulder or neck stiffness. It is very good for soothing overall bodily fatigue and improves the
blood circulation in the treated areas.
Our nerves, which radiate throughout the entire body as a complex network, perform various tasks
which are indispensable for maintaining proper functioning. They conduct impulses between the
central nervous system and an organ or a part of the body. They also transmit commands from and
to the brain, and they regulate the body’s functions, as well as muscle contraction and relaxation.
Using the TENS method, Transcutaneous (i.e. passing through the skin) Electrical Nerve Stimulation,
the important nerve functions can be activated effectively. The frequency impulses, which are
comparable to the natural bioelectricity, stimulate the body’s pain-relieving mechanisms. In this way,
the transmission of pain by the nerve fibres is inhibited and secretion of pain-relieving, morphine
like substances such as endorphins, are triggered. Furthermore, the blood flow through the treated
body zones is improved.

Information on High & Low-Frequency Therapy
What is Low Frequency?
A treatment method effectively using the physiological action
Although we do not notice, our bodies generate very weak electricity from various parts of the body including the brain,
heart, muscles, and nerves. This electricity is called bioelectricity. The bioelectricity plays an essential role for the
normal functioning of our bodies. Our bodies sensitively react to electric stimulation applied from the outside and
cause various changes. The method to treat abnormality of bioelectricity, which is manifested as stiffness or pain, by
effectively using the above mentioned action is called electrotherapy of which low-frequency therapy is typical.
Mechanism of low-frequency electrotherapy
Pumping action of muscles
Muscles contract and relax with the flow of the low-frequency current. This helps to
activate the pumping action of the heart. When the muscle relaxes, a large amount of
blood flows in, and when the muscle contracts, the blood containing wastes is pumped out.
With repeated actions, the blood flows smoother and the blood circulation is improved.
Shutting out pain signal
When low-frequency current flows to the region experiencing pain, it acts on the transmission mechanism of pain.
Thus low-frequency current is said to reduce the transmission of pain to the brain.
Blood vessel
Muscle
Actions of the low-frequency current
What is frequency?
Frequency is the number of times electric stimulation is applied to the body per second and is represented by a unit
called Hertz (Hz).
Effects of low frequency stimulation
Low-frequency stimulation is effective in relieving
symptoms of chronic pain, stiffness and numbness. It is
said to have the effects to activate secretion of pain-
suppressing substance or to improve the blood circulation.
Standard treatment time
Long-time treatment and strong stimulation cause muscular fatigue and generate adverse effects.
In order to avoid the excessive treatment, Electronic Nerve Stimulator, model HV-F127 is made to turn off the power
automatically in 15 minutes.

Place the Pad on a flat surface and securely connect the Electrode Cord Plug
with the Pad.
❇Although Electrode Cord Plugs are provided in red and white, either plug can
be connected with one of the Pads irrespective of color.
General advice from OMRON on the handling of Electrode Cord
•Avoid excessive bending and pulling of the Electrode Cord.
•Hold the Electrode Cord Plug when unplugging the Electrode Cord from the Main Unit.
•If the Electrode Cord is torn or in trouble, please contact the store where you purchased the unit or at the
nearest OMRON dealer.
Attach each Pad to the region you want to treat without bending it.
How to Attach the Pad
When you use the unit for the first time:
A clear plastic film is attached to the Pad.
As the Pad has strong adhesiveness, peel off the clear plastic film from the
Pad and attach the Pad to the region you want to receive treatment.
❇Discard the peeled off clear film as it should not be used anymore.
❇It may be difficult for you to attach the Pad on your back such as shoulders or lower
back. It is a good idea to ask someone in your family to help you.
Attach the Pad close to the skin.
❇If the Pad comes off from the skin, the unit is turned off automatically in approximately 7 seconds.
General Advice from OMRON on the handling of Pad
•Do not place pads one on top of the other.
•Do not bend the Pad.
•Do not touch the adhesive surface with your fingers.
•When you perspire after taking a bath or immediately after exercising, wipe your sweat off the region you
want to treat before using the unit.
•If the Pad is erroneously adhered to a cloth or so and does not come off easily, do not force to peel it off.
Instead, moisten the back of the cloth to which the Pad is attached with a small amount of water, and then
the Pad will come off easily.
•When the adhesive property of Pad drops, take appropriate measures as necessary.
•If you are going to use a wet Pad or the Pad immediately after it is washed, let it dry sufficiently. Especially
let the adhesive surface air-dry.
TENS-EN01-22[HV-F127]-2 11/17/03 6:49 PM Page 9

Shoulders
Stiff shoulder is presumably caused by blood congestion of trapezius muscle that moves shoulders, compression of
nerves by the accumulation of fatigue substances, or poor blood circulation of subcutaneous tissues such as muscles.
Attach the Pads symmetrically on the region of stiff shoulders with the backbone as the center.
9
Examples of Application
Trapezius muscle
For stiff shoulders, it is effective
to attach the Pads to the shaded
regions as shown in the diagram.
Sole
Chilly feeling is presumably caused by poor blood circulation in the limbs when the nerves are out of balance.
Swelling and fatigue of foot is presumably caused by the poor reflux of blood and body fluid. Attach one Pad to the
sole and another one to the calf.
It is effective to attach the Pads to
the shaded regions of sole as
shown in the diagram.
TENS-EN01-22[HV-F127]-2 11/17/03 6:49 PM Page 10

10
Calf
Swelling and fatigue of Calf is presumably caused by congestion of blood and accumulation of fatigue substances in
that region. Attach the Pads to upper and lower calf.
It is effective to attach the Pads to the
shaded regions of calf as shown in the
diagram.
Waist (Lower Back)
Back pain is caused by various reasons. The type of back pain that can be treated by low-frequency therapy includes
stiffness of the lower back, muscle pain, and neuralgia (nerve pain).
Attach the Pads symmetrically to the regions you feel pain with the backbone as the center.
It is effective to attach the
Pads to the shaded regions
of lower back as shown in
the diagram.

❇The life of Pad may vary by the frequency of wash, skin condition, and storage state.
1. Turn off the power, then remove the Electrode Cord from the Pad.
2. Wash the Pad softly with your fingertips under slow
running water for several seconds.
3. Sufficiently dry the Pad and let the adhesive surface
airdry.
❇Do not wipe the adhesive surface with a tissue paper or a cloth. If
a tissue paper is adhered to the adhesive surface by accident, do
not try to peel it off. Instead, moisten the tissue paper with a small
amount of water, and then it will come off easily.
4. Lightly attach the Pad to the Electrode Holder for
storage. (Refer to Page 16.)
General advice from OMRON on the handling of Pads
•Do not use hot water, detergent, or chemicals such as thinner or benzine.
•Do not scratch the adhesive surface with your nail or a brush.
•Do not wash the Pad too long or too frequently.
•Do not store the Pad under high temperature, high humidity, and direct sunshine.
❇The adhesive surface may be damaged and the Pad may last shorter.
❇If the adhesive surface becomes sticky or the Pad peels off, leave the Pad in the refrigerator (do not freeze)
overnight. The adhesion may be restored.
