Setup Instructions
- Insert Batteries: Open the battery compartment on the back of the TENS unit. Insert the two AAA batteries (included), ensuring correct polarity. Close the compartment securely.

- Prepare Skin: Ensure the skin area where the pads will be applied is clean, dry, and free of lotions or oils. This helps ensure proper adhesion and effective electrical conduction.

This image provides a visual explanation of how TENS technology works. It states that TENS blocks pain signals to the brain, increases circulation to targeted areas, and stimulates the body's natural painkillers. It also clarifies that "acute pain" refers to sore or achy muscles from strain or normal household/work activities.
