TO KEEP YOUR
WORKING ORDER,
FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL CAUTIONS:
Caution: Do not immerse your device
in water or place it close to excessive
heat such as a fireplace or radiant
heater or sources of high humidity such as a
nebulizer or kettle as this may cause it to cease
to operate correctly.
Caution: Keep the device away from
sunlight, as long-term exposure to
sunlight may
causing it to become less elastic and crack.
Caution: Keep the device away from
lint and dust, as long-term exposure
to lint or dust may affect the sockets
or cause the battery connector to develop a bad
contact.
Caution: Temperature & Relative
Humidity of storage: -25°C to +70°C,
up to 93% R.H. Temperature &
Relative Humidity of transportation: -25°C to
+70°C, up to 93% R.H.
Caution: Do not attempt to open or
modify the unit. This may affect the
safe operation of the unit and will
invalidate the warranty.
Note: There are no known side
effects to use and long-term use is not
harmful. However, the device works
your muscles and unaccustomed amounts of
exercise may produce muscle ache. If this
happens, simply reduce the strength of the
machine or allow your muscles to rest until the
aching disappears.

7. INFORMATION
THE
SETTINGS
Each programme has its own combination of
Frequency and Pulse Width settings which
allow for different muscle groups to be
exercised and toned through the electrode
pads.
•
Frequency (measured in Hz - pulses per
second)
For EMS programmes:
Low frequencies (1-10 Hz) have a purifying and
relaxing effect through individual contractions.
Medium frequencies (20-50 Hz) can put a high
level of strain on the muscle, thus promoting the
muscular structure.
Higher frequencies, there is permanent tension
in the muscle (tetany) combined with premature
muscle fatigue. They are therefore preferably
used for elasticity and maximum strength
training.
For TENS programmes:
Pain gate: A high frequency of 110 Hz is good
at blocking pain signals.
Endorphine release: A low frequency of 4 or 10
Hz allows for the release of endorphins, the
body's natural morphine-like substances.
•
Pulse Width (measured in μs - millionths
of a second)
The Sports TENS 2 unit has pulse widths of 20
to 350 μs. Generally speaking, the higher the
pulse width, the more "aggressive" the
stimulation feels, if the pulse width is set high
enough, it will
contraction, which is required for an effective
toning of the muscle group selected.
