1. FOREWORD 1.1 Introduction The device R-C101F is a dual channel output TENS (Trans- cutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), and EMS (Elec- tronic Muscle Stimulation) stimulator. Before using, please read all the instructions in this user manual carefully and keep it safe for future use.
by physiotherapists, caregivers and top athletes around the world. High-frequency TENS currents activates the pain-in- hibiting mechanisms of the nervous system. Electrical im- pulses from electrodes, placed on the skin over or near the pain area, stimulate the nerves to block the pain signals to the brain, causing the pain go unperceived.
