Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning the Device: Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse in water.
- Cleaning Electrode Pads: After each use, gently wipe the adhesive side of the pads with a damp cloth or a small amount of water to remove any residue. Allow them to air dry completely before reattaching the protective film. This helps maintain adhesion and prolong pad life.
- Storing Pads: Store electrode pads on the provided pads holder or reattach the protective film and store them in a sealed bag to prevent drying out.
- Battery Care: To preserve battery life, avoid fully discharging the device frequently. Charge the device regularly, even if not in constant use.
- Storage: Store the device and accessories in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
