1. SAFETY INFORMATION 1.1 General LG SMART TENS stimulator is a portable electrotherapy device featuring Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) therapeutic device, which is used for pain relief. The stimulator sends a gentle electrical current to underlying nerves and muscle group via electrodes applied on the skin. The parameters of device are controlled by the buttons.
You may discuss this with your physician or therapist. 1.3 Indication for use LG SMART TENS Stimulator should be used for the Symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain, acute post traumatic pain, acute post surgical pain and arthritis pain.
present in the treatment area. Stimulation should not be applied over swollen, infected, inflamed areas or skin eruptions (e.g. phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, etc.). Electrodes must not be applied to sites that might cause current/stimulation to flow through the carotid sinus region (anterior neck) or transcerebrally (through the head).

carotid sinus reflex. Stimulation should not be applied over the anterior neck or mouth. Severe spasm of the laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles may occur and the contractions may be strong enough to close the airway or cause difficulty in breathing. Stimulation should not be applied transthoracically in that the introduction of electrical current into the heart may cause cardiac arrhythmias.

hypersensitivity due to the electrical stimulation or silicone rubber. If rash develops or pain persists, discontinue use and consult a doctor. 14) Electrode placement and stimulation settings should be based on the guidance of prescribing practitioner. 15) Effectiveness is highly dependent upon patient selection by a person qualified in the management of pain afflicted patients.

presence of explosive atmosphere and flammable mixture. ADVERSE REACTIONS: Skin irritation from the electrode gel and electrode burns are potential adverse reactions. If skin irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult your physician. If the stimulation levels are uncomfortable, reduce the stimulation Intensity to a comfortable level and contact your physician if problems persist.

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. Slide the battery compartment cover and open. Insert the 9V battery into the battery compartment.
If a battery has leaked, avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucus membranes, Rinse the affected spots with lots of clear water immediately and contact a physician right away. Battery may not be charged, dismantled, thrown into fire or short-circuited. Protect battery from excess heat;...
4.3 Connect lead wires to device Before proceeding to this step, be sure the device is completely turns OFF. The wires provided with the system insert into the jack sockets located on top of the device. Holding the insulated portion of the connector, push the plug end of the wire into one of the jacks (see drawing);...

4.4.2 Place electrodes on skin Apply electrodes to the exact site indicated by your physician or therapist, before applying electrodes, be sure the skin surface over which electrodes are placed is thoroughly cleaned and dried. Make sure the electrodes are placed firmly to the skin and make good contact between the skin and the electrodes.
4.6 Select the therapeutic part program LG SMART TENS Stimulator with 10 pre-set programs, the details please refer to Page 21 <Programs>. The therapeutic part program can be selected by pressing the [ S ] button control.
2) If the electrodes no placed firmly on skin or the device has not connected on the electrodes, the stimulator's output intensity surpasses 12mA, the intensity will enulls automatically. 3) You can press [S] button to stop the treatment if you want, and the device enter into waiting mode(If the button is locked, you should press only one of the [▼] button first)
6. CLEANING AND CARE 6.1 Tips for skin care To avoid skin irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin, follow these suggestions: 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 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. It is recommended that, at minimum, 40mm*40mm self-adhering based, square electrodes are used at the treatment area.
Apply the protective backing to the tacky side of the electrode. Place the electrode on the side of the protective backing that is labeled with the word on. It may be helpful to improve repeated application by spreading a few drops of cold water over the adhesive and turn the surface up to air dry.
