Page 9: Auto Stimulation Mode
AUTO STIMULATION MODE to provide a pain relieving effect, the level of stimulation should be perceived as a little bit stronger than the pain intensity. since the body initially adapts to the set level of stimulation, it is often required to adjust the amplitude a couple of times to reach the optimal level of stimulation. -

12. TECHNICAL DATA cefar primo pro is a nerve stimulator (tens) with two independent channels. it has seven preset pro- grams and three custom programs. programs and amplitude can be individually set for each channel. treatment with electrical stimulation requires the stimulation current to penetrate the resistance of the skin and the electrode, about 1500 ohms. -
