Maintenance

Cleaning the Unit

Wipe the TENS 7000 unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or submerge the unit in water. Ensure the unit is completely dry before storing or next use.

Electrode Pad Care

The electrode pads are reusable. To prolong their lifespan, always apply them to clean, dry skin. After each use, place the pads back on their protective liner and store them in a sealed bag to prevent drying out. Replace pads when they lose their adhesive quality or if they cause discomfort during use. Pads typically last for 2-8 treatments.

Storage

Store the TENS 7000 unit and its accessories in the provided hard plastic carry case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
