1. Prior to putting on the belt, remove any residues of skin cream or oint-
ment. The skin must be grease-free. Do not place the belt on injured or
inflamed areas of skin (wounds, spots, rashes, reddening, etc.).
2. Remove the plastic films marked "on" of the electrode pads,
Handle these films carefully so that they can be stuck back in place to
protect the pads after each use.
3. Put the belt on. Position it on the area of the body to be treated. If
your backache is at waist level, you will be suffering from pain in the
upper treatment area. Position the belt so that the middle of the belt is
at waist level.
4. If your back pain is in the lower treatment area, position the belt so that
the middle of the belt sits approx. 3 – 5 cm below the waist.
5. When the belt has been manoeuvred into the correct position, bring the
two ends of the neoprene straps together and push in the clip fastener
to fasten the belt tight.
6. The belt may be tightened or loosened by proceeding as described in
"3.3 Adjust belt width".
1. The unit is switched on by setting the intensity controllers,
the desired strength. The unit offers 8 intensity settings for treatment
strength from 0 – 80 mA.
2. The unit's basic setting now appears on the display
3. Turn the two intensity controllers on the top of the TENS unit in a clock-
wise direction (1 = weaker/8 = stronger) until the electric pulses of both
channels can be felt. The stimulation should be perceived as pleasant.
CAUTION
Subjective perception of the electric current may alter with
changing frequencies, pulse widths or current shapes.
Regulate the intensity as soon as the application is
perceived as unpleasant or the pleasant prickling sensation
is not felt for a longish period.
The unit offers 8 preset treatment programs. The programs differ in respect
of varying pulse widths and frequencies.
