CAUTION
PRECAUTIONS REGARDING THE PADS
• Do not move the pads to another location while the unit is on.
• Therapy won't work with just one pad. You MUST USE 2 PADS at the same time.
• Make sure the components are connected well and the pads are fixed on the part of the
body you wish to treat or the therapy may not be effective.
• Pad should not touch any metal object, such as a belt buckle, necklace, or other metal
worn under clothing.
• Do not overlap pads or put pads on top of each other. It may weaken or stop therapy, or
the unit may stop working.
Gel pads may also stick together and cause gel to be removed when separating.
• Do not use pads after Exp. date.
• Do not apply pads with wet hands.
• Do not leave pads attached to the skin after treatment.
• Do not bend or fold pads because the gel may get damaged and it won't stick or function
properly.
• To avoid damage to the adhesive surface of the pads, put the pads only on the skin or on
the plastic pad holder provided.
• Always place clean pads in accordance with illustrations provided (Refer to [GET
STARTED WITH YOUR THERAPY] STEP1- Pad Placement).
• Do not apply ointment or any solvent to the pads or to your skin because it will disrupt
the pads from functioning properly. The self-adhesive pads will adhere to your skin.
• Place pads on either side of the pain, not directly on the pain.
• Do not share pads with another person. This may cause a skin irritation or infection.
Pads are intended for use by one person.
