6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Power On/Off
Press and hold the power button to turn the device on or off.
6.2 Program Selection
Use the navigation buttons to browse through the available program categories and select your desired program. The device offers:
- 10 REHA Programs: For rehabilitation purposes.
- 16 TENS Programs: For pain relief (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation).
- 20 NEMS Programs: For muscle strengthening and recovery (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation).
- 18 BEAUTY Programs: For aesthetic treatments.
- 22 Dual User Programs (2+2): Specific programs designed for two users simultaneously.
- 12 Free TENS/NEMS Memories: For custom program storage.
6.3 Intensity Adjustment
After selecting a program and starting the treatment, gradually increase the intensity for each channel using the dedicated intensity buttons. Adjust the intensity to a comfortable level, where you feel a strong but non-painful muscle contraction or tingling sensation. The device provides user feedback if electrodes are not properly connected.
6.4 Treatment Time
The treatment duration can be adjusted from 1 to 90 minutes, depending on the selected program and your specific needs.
7. Electrode Placement
Correct electrode placement is crucial for effective and safe treatment. Please refer to the dedicated Electrode Positioning Manual included with your device for detailed diagrams and instructions for various muscle groups and conditions. Always ensure electrodes are applied to clean, dry, and intact skin.
8. Maintenance
8.1 Cleaning the Device
Wipe the device surface with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
8.2 Electrode Care
After each use, gently remove electrodes from the skin and place them back on their protective film. Store them in a sealed bag to prevent drying. Replace electrodes when they lose their adhesiveness or become damaged.
8.3 Storage
Store the device and accessories in the provided carrying case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

9. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not turn on | Low battery or discharged battery | Charge the battery fully. |
| No sensation or weak sensation | Electrodes not properly attached; Intensity too low; Electrodes dried out | Ensure electrodes are firmly on clean skin; Increase intensity gradually; Replace old electrodes. |
| Device stops during treatment | Electrode detachment detected; Low battery | Re-attach electrodes firmly; Charge the battery. |
| Skin irritation under electrodes | Poor skin preparation; Allergic reaction to electrode gel; Overuse | Clean skin thoroughly before use; Try hypoallergenic electrodes; Reduce treatment frequency/duration. Consult a doctor if irritation persists. |
