2500 Ω Operating the TENS eco 2 The battery of new TENS eco 2 units need to be charged before first use. Please read the chapter “charging the battery” on page 10. Connecting cables and electrodes • Connect the electrodes with the cable(s) (always 2 electrodes per cable).
The program shown on the display is the last which was used during the previous session. If the display shows a key symbol on the upper left side, the TENS eco 2 has previously interlocked a specific program (see chapter interlocking the key pad).
Switching OFF the TENS unit Press the key to switch OFF the TENS eco 2. If the battery level is too low or if the TENS unit has not been used for the previous 2 minutes, it turns off automatically.
Enter the memory query mode (see above). Pressing and holding the E key for about 5 seconds will delete all saved data. The display shows “Clr” for about 2 seconds and the device can be used for stimulation again. The TENS eco 2 switches OFF automatically after two minutes if no key is pressed.
TENS eco 2 Description of the programs Program 1 + 13: Gate control 100 Hz Both channels work with the same frequency and pulse width. Frequency: 100 Hz Pulse width: 200 μs Therapy time: 30 min (1 to 99 min) Indications: Acute nerve or joint pain This program is used to treat acute neuropathic and joint pain.

TENS eco 2 Electrode placement for dynamic stimulation (P10, P11, P22, P23) The stimulation is not administered simultaneously on both channels. The current flowes from one electrode to the other just like a wave undulating on the body. This kind of stimulation is far more comfortable than traditional neuro-muscular stimulation.
