In case of presumed or real failure, do not open the instrument or attempt to make repairs
yourself. Repairs may only be made by an authorized service center .
Protect the electrostimulator from violent blows, shaking and overturning, which may damage
the instrument and lead to malfunction in the long term even though no immediate failure is
apparent.
Protect the electrostimulator from splashes of water, heat sources, dust, humidity, direct expo-
sure to sunlight and strong magnetic fields. The instrument should not be used when wrapped
or covered.
Do not clean the instrument with solvents such as paint thinner, gasoline, kerosene, alcohol
