STEP 1. Connect the electrodes and lead wire
Connect a pair of self-adhesive electrodes to
the device using the lead wire as described
below. Note: Do not use carbon-rubber TENS
electrodes in TSE mode as they may overheat.
1. Before connecting the lead wire
time, pull the wires apart so that the
electrodes can be positioned someway apart
from one another. To do this, slide down the
clear plastic sheath on the lead wire and pull
apart the pins as shown in the picture.

2. Connect the metal pins
whilst they are still on the backing sheet.
Electrode life is considerably shortened by use on dirty or oily skin; it is best to clean
the electrode application area with soap and water, then rinse and thoroughly dry
before each session.
Do not use worn-out self-adhesive electrodes as this can cause weak stimulation and
skin irritation. With normal use (one treatment per day) electrodes begin to lose their
stickiness after 1 month. Replace with new electrodes when this occurs.

device. Note that the connector can only be
inserted into the device in one orientation. For
the right orientation, match up the key shape
of the connector with the key shaped hole in
the device.

4. When ready to begin treatment
electrodes off the backing sheet using the
electrode material, not the lead wire. Pulling
on the lead wire can reduce the lifetime of the
electrodes.
