2. Compatibility
These cables are specifically designed for electrostimulators that utilize a 3.5 mm snap connector for their electrodes. They are compatible with a wide range of devices, including:
- Sanitas TENS and EMS electrostimulators (models SEM 42, SEM 43, SEM 44, SEM 50).
- Many devices from other brands such as axion, Hofmann, Mystim, Nature Gate, Prorelax, Saneo, Sanowell, Stimio, TENS7000, and Tesmed, provided they use 3.5 mm snap electrodes.
Important Note: These cables are NOT compatible with Compex or Beurer EMS9 devices.

3. Setup
- Prepare your Electrostimulator: Ensure your electrostimulator is turned off before connecting any cables.
- Connect to Electrostimulator: Insert the 3.5 mm jack end of the Axion connection cable into the corresponding output port on your electrostimulator. Ensure a firm connection.

- Position Electrodes: Place the electrodes on the desired area of your body according to your electrostimulator's instructions or your therapist's recommendations.
4. Operating
Once the cables are securely connected to both your electrostimulator and the electrodes, you can proceed with your therapy session.
- Turn On Device: Power on your electrostimulator.
- Select Program: Choose the desired TENS or EMS program and intensity settings on your electrostimulator.
- Monitor Connection: During the session, ensure the cables remain securely connected to both the device and the electrodes. Loose connections can lead to inconsistent therapy or discomfort.
- Adjust as Needed: Adjust intensity levels as per your comfort and the requirements of your therapy.
- End Session: After your session, turn off the electrostimulator before disconnecting the cables.
5. Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will extend the lifespan of your Axion connection cables.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the cables with a soft, dry cloth after each use. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the cables in water.
- Storage: Store the cables in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid kinking or tightly winding the cables, as this can damage the internal wires.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the cables for any signs of wear, such as fraying, cuts, or damage to the connectors. If any damage is observed, replace the cables immediately to ensure safe and effective operation.
- Disconnect Properly: Always pull from the connector housing, not the cable itself, when disconnecting from the electrostimulator or electrodes.
6. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your Axion connection cables, consider the following:
- No Signal/Weak Signal:
- Ensure all connections (device to cable, cable to electrode) are secure and fully inserted.
- Check if the electrodes are properly adhered to the skin and are not dried out.
- Verify that your electrostimulator is powered on and set to an appropriate program and intensity.
- Inspect the cables for visible damage (fraying, cuts). If damaged, replace them.
- Intermittent Connection:
- This often indicates a loose connection. Re-seat both ends of the cable.
- Check for bent pins or debris in the 3.5 mm jack of the electrostimulator or the snap connectors on the electrodes.
- Cables Don't Fit:
- Confirm that your electrostimulator and electrodes use a 3.5 mm snap connection. These cables are not universally compatible with all devices (e.g., Compex, Beurer EMS9). Refer to Section 2: Compatibility.
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, please contact customer support.
