The orange light on the top of the unit will
turn on to show that the treatment has
begun. The last used treatment time (or
factory default of 30 mins) is also shown.
The intensity is displayed as a percentage
from 0-100% at the bottom left of the screen
and as a bar graph at the top left, where each
segment represents 10%.
If the power bar at the top of the screen
flashes, this indicates the device is outputting
full current, which may happen at less than
100% intensity if the skin resistance is low.
This is not a problem, but there is no need to
increase the intensity level beyond this
setting.
Most people do not feel any sensation with
TSE 2, so it is fine to increase the output level
to 100%. A light tingling sensation is typical
using TSE 1 and TSE 3.
If the sensation becomes uncomfortable,
press the
