  • Page 5 Also, PAT is able to reduce the amount of resistance of the tissues around an injured area. As a result of inflammation typically present, the cells become unable to function properly because their resistance to the flow of electrical current is too great for the body’s natural...
  • Page 6 Operating Instructions Setup 1) Before using PAT for the first time, remove the battery cover and insert the three AAA batteries into the battery holder, observing the polarity. 2) Locate the electrodes pads and the white wire. Electrode Pad Placement 1) For each treatment, you will use two of the 2 inch X 2 inch electrode pads.
  • Page 7 9) Never allow the electrodes to touch each other. Treatment 1) Pick up PAT and press the POWER button. The LCD screen should show the 8 parts of the body to treat. 2) Press the MODE button to cycle through the 8 body parts until the arrow is adjacent to the body part that you need to treat.
  • Page 8 Store the unit, pads, and wires in the case, ready for the next treatment. 2) Remember to store PAT at room temperature and handle it carefully. Do not expose it to extreme heat or cold.
  • Page 9 Typical Electrode Placements Neck—Use NECK setting. Place on either side of the spine where the pain is located Shoulder—Use SHOULDER setting. Place so the current will flow between the electrode pads through the area in the shoulder causing pain. Muscle—Use the setting that is closest to the painful muscle.
  • Page 10 Elbow-Use ELBOW setting. Place electrode pads so that the current flows through the elbow joint. Wrist—Use WRIST setting. Place electrode pads on either side of the wrist so that current flows through the wrist joint. Finger—Use FINGER setting. Place electrode pads on the top and bottom on the finger joints causing the pain.
  • Page 11 Knee—Use KNEE setting. Place electrode pads to pass current through the knee joint. You can either put the electrodes on the inside and outside of the knee as shown here or on the top and bottom of the knee as shown here Ankle—Use FOOT setting.
  • Page 12 For Maximum Results 1. Avoid using any lotions or creams on the skin where you will place the electrode pads. 2. Clean the skin thoroughly with water and if there is a lot of dead skin, you may consider using an exfoliate on the skin before you start treatment.
  • Page 13 4. I have done several treatments and still have pain. What is wrong? Try multiple treatments in one day. PAT is designed to stop pain by cumulative treatments over time. While many get immediate relief, some require many treatments to take care of the underlying issues that are causing the pain.
  • Page 14 What do I do? This is not common, but may happen, especially when treating persistent or long-standing pain. Much like getting a deep tissue massage, the PAT treatments may release toxins that have built up due to excessive inflammation in the area. When the toxins are released, the pain receptors may be activated, causing pain.
  • Page 15 I keep treating the area? We recommend treating for a few days after the pain is alleviated. 12. What is the difference in PAT and a standard TENS unit? TENS units use as much as 1000 times more current than PAT. They are designed to temporarily block pain.
