Pad Placement Guide

Proper pad placement is crucial for effective therapy. The electrode pads should be placed on clean, dry skin, typically around the area of pain or muscle you wish to stimulate. Avoid placing pads directly over joints, bony prominences, or areas with reduced sensation.

For TENS therapy, place pads on either side of the painful area. For EMS therapy, pads can be placed on the belly of the muscle you wish to stimulate.

Refer to the included quick reference guide or consult a healthcare professional for specific pad placement recommendations for your condition.

Maintenance

• Cleaning the Device: Wipe the device with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
• Electrode Pad Care:
  • After each use, place the pads back on the protective film to maintain their adhesive quality.
  • Clean your skin with rubbing alcohol before applying pads to prolong their stickiness.
  • Replace pads when they lose their adhesive quality or become dirty.
• Charging: Recharge the device regularly, especially after extended periods of non-use, to maintain battery health. The device can be charged via a wall unit or a computer USB port.
