PowerDot PD-01 Instruction Manual page 7

• Do not use PowerDot in water or in a humid atmosphere (sauna, hydrotherapy, etc.)
• Do not use PowerDot in an oxygen‐rich atmosphere
• For first time users, muscle stimulation can be an unusual sensation. We recommend that you begin in
a seated position with low stimulation settings to familiarize yourself with the sensation before
progressing to higher intensities.
• Do not connect leads or pads to the other objects
• Do not allow movement resulting from muscular contraction during a stimulation session. You should
try to always stimulate in isometric way; this means that the extremities of the limb in which a muscle is
being stimulated must be firmly fixed, so as to prevent any movement resulting from contraction.
• Do not use PowerDot if you are connected to a high‐frequency surgical instrument as this could cause
skin irritations or burns under the electrodes.
• Do not use the PowerDot unit within 1.5 meters of short wave or unshielded microwave devices as
this could alter the current generated by the stimulator. If you have any doubts when using the
stimulator in close proximity to another medical device, please contact the device manufacturer or your
doctor.
• Do not use the PowerDot in areas where unprotected devices are used to emit electromagnetic
radiation. Portable communications equipment can interfere with electrical medical equipment.
• During a stimulation session, do not disconnect electrodes when stimulation is running. Stop the
stimulation first.
• Keep PowerDot device and its accessories out of reach of children and pets. Do not allow any foreign
objects (soil, water, metal, etc.) to get into the device.
• Sudden temperature changes can cause condensation to build up inside the stimulator. Only use the
device once it has reached ambient temperature.
• Do not use the PowerDot while driving, operating machinery or cycling.
• Do not exert yourself when using electrical muscle stimulation. Any workout should be at a level
comfortable for you
• Do not apply stimulation while sleeping.
• Do not use the stimulator at altitudes of over 3,000 meters.
