13. EXTRA PAIN RELIEF
If the level of pain becomes extreme or if you did not start using the
unit sooner enough to allow for the full endorphin release then it is
suggested that you go to programme "C AP".
ACTIVE POWER
In this programme the strength "Power Ramps" up and which brings
into play "Brief Intense" pain relief. It also acts as a distraction.
In between contractions press the programme button until the screen
displays "C" in the top left-hand corner. The strength will be at zero.
Press the Strength UP button until the stimulation is comfortable. As
the contraction begins press and hold down the Boost button so that
"AP" is displayed on the screen. This will ramp up the strength. Hold
down the button until the stimulation is as strong as you can bear. At
that moment release the button and the strength will immediately
start to fall. If you press and hold the button now, it will sustain the
strength at this level as long as you want. When you release the
button, strength will return to the level it was before you first pressed
the Boost button.

14. GENERAL INFORMATION
TRIAL RUN
It is recommended that you have a trial run with your MamaTENS
"My Time" before your labour starts so that you know how it works,
where to put the pads and what the stimulation in the programmes
feels like. After your trial run, return the pads to the clear plastic film
and store in the re-sealable bag. Make sure that the MamaTENS "My
Time" is switched off before removing the pads.
QUICK RELEASE NECK CORD
Your MamaTENS "My Time" is supplied with a quick release neck
cord. The neck cord allows for the unit to be hung around your neck
if required. To fit the neck cord simply pass it through the loop at the
top of the unit.
CAUTION: Do not substitute string or a regular necklace as such
items may not open in the event of a snagging.
EASY START – ONE TOUCH MEMORY
The MamaTENS "My Time" has intelligent memory that enables the
unit to remember the last programme used, and reverts to it at the
touch of one button. At the same time, the strength gently ramps up
to around 75% of the level last used. This memory start will not occur
if the batteries have been replaced.
