Technical specifications for Interferential (IF) mode Waveform Bi-phase square pulse Pulse amplitude Adjustable, 0~70mA peak to peak at 1000 ohm Load each channel, 1mA/Step. Pulse Rate Channel 1 – Fundamental frequency: 4000 Hz fixed Channel 2 – Selectable frequency: 4001 to 4150 Hz Interference frequency: 1 to 150 Hz.
The pulse rate of the CH1 is fixed in 4000Hz; CH2 pulse rate is automatically varied in a cycle time. Interference frequency is increased from its original setting to 60% in setting cycle time, and then decreased from 60% to its original setting in nest setting cycle time.
Pulse Rate Modulation Interferential 4. Instruction for use 4 .1 Battery 4.1.1 Check/Replace the battery Over time, in order to ensure the functional safety of device, changing the battery is necessary. 1) Slide the battery compartment cover and open. 2) Insert the 9V battery into the battery compartment. 3) Make sure you are installing the battery properly.
4.1.2 Disposal of battery Spent batteries do not belong in the household waste. Dispose of the battery according to the current federal, state and local regulations. Caution: 1) Battery may be fatal if swallowed. Therefore, keep the battery and the product out of the range of children, if a battery was swallowed, consult a physician immediately.
2) The wires provided with the system insert into the jack sockets located on top of the device. 3) Holding the insulated portion of the connector, push the plug end of the wire into one of the jacks (see drawing); one or two sets of wires may be used.
Caution: 1) Before applying the self-adhesive electrodes, it is recommended to wash and degrease the skin, and then dry it. 2) Do not turns on the device when the self-adhesive electrodes are not positioned on the body. 3) Never remove the self-adhesive electrodes from the skin while the device is still turns on.
Caution: Consult your physician for your suitable therapeutic mode 4.7 Steps to Set a New Program 4.7.1 TENS Setting Press the [S]button cycle to enter the setting state. The settings can be adjusted according to the following steps: 1) Set the Therapeutic Program There are 4 programs in TENS therapeutic mode available –Burst (P1), Normal (P2), Pulse Width Modulation (P3), and Pulse Rate Modulation (P4).

4.7.2 IF Setting Press the [S] button to enter the setting state. The settings can be adjusted according to the following steps: 1) Set the Therapeutic Program There are 4 programs in IF therapeutic mode available. The therapeutic program can be selected by pressing the [▲] and [▼] button.
This is a safety feature to prevent accidental changes to your settings and to prevent accidental increases to the intensity levels. You can press either one of the [▼] buttons to unlock the device. 4.10. Stop the treatment When you have activated the treatment timer, you can press the [M] button or the [▼] button to control stop the treatment.
4.11. Turn OFF Press [ ] button and hold for approx.3 seconds to turn OFF the device. Caution: 1) If there is no operation in the panel for 2 minutes in the waiting state, the device will be turns off automatically. 2) In shutdown state, keep pressing the channel 2 [▼] first, and then press [ ]button at the same to restore factory parameter settings...
6. Cleaning and Care 6.1 Tips for skin care To avoid skin irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin, follow these suggestions: 1) Wash the area of skin where you will be placing the electrodes, using mild soap and water before applying electrodes, and after taking them off.
6.3 electrodes 1) Use the device only with the leads and electrodes provided by the manufacturer. Use only the electrode placements and stimulation settings prescribed by your physician or therapist. 2) It is recommended that, at minimum, 1.5"X1.5" self-adhering square electrodes are used at the treatment area. 3) Inspect your electrodes before every use.
4) Between uses, store the electrodes in the resealable bag in a cool dry place. Caution: 1) Do not pull on the electrode wire. Doing so may damage the wire and electrode. 2) Do not apply to broken skin. 3) The electrodes should be discarded when they are no longer adhering.
Lead wires 1. Verify connection is secure. Insure output firmly. 2. Turn down the intensity. Rotate lead wires in socket 90°. If still intermittent, replace lead wire. 3. If still intermittent after replacing lead wire, a component may have failed.
8. Storage 1) For a prolonged pause in treatment, store the device in a dry room and protect it against heat, sunshine and moisture. 2) Store the device in a cool, well-ventilated place 3) Never place any heavy objects on the device. 9.

1. Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered.
