5. Setup

1. Prepare the Skin: Ensure the skin area where the electrodes will be applied is clean, dry, and free of oils, lotions, or hair. This maximizes adhesion and conductivity.
2. Connect to Device: Connect the electrode pads to your TENS or EMS device using the 3.5 mm snap connector. Ensure a secure connection.
3. Remove Protective Film: Carefully peel the electrode pad from its protective film. Retain the film for storage after use.
4. Apply to Skin: Place the adhesive side of the electrode pad firmly onto the desired skin area (e.g., neck, shoulder, back, thigh). Ensure full contact with the skin.

6. Operating Instructions

Once the electrodes are properly connected and applied, operate your TENS or EMS device according to its specific user manual. The axion electrode pads are designed to effectively transmit the electrical impulses from your device to the target area.

• Pain Relief (TENS): Use for non-medicinal pain relief for conditions such as back pain, neck pain, sciatica, heel pain, and other types of pain.
• Muscle Training (EMS): Utilize for gentle and targeted muscle training to achieve your athletic goals.
• Electrostimulation Massage: Apply for relaxing muscles and promoting overall wellness.

7. Maintenance

• After Use: After each TENS/EMS application, carefully peel the electrode pad from your skin.
• Storage: Re-apply the electrode pad to its original protective film. This helps maintain the adhesive quality and extends the lifespan of the pads. Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original sealed bag.
• Lifespan: With proper care, each pad can be reused for up to 20 treatments.
• Enhancing Lifespan: Using a contact spray can further increase the lifespan of the electrodes.
• Cleaning: Do not wash the electrode pads with water or cleaning agents, as this can damage the adhesive gel.
