Setup and Connection

Before using any accessory, ensure your TENS or EMS device is turned off. Always refer to your specific TENS/EMS device's user manual for detailed connection instructions and safety precautions.

Connecting the Therapeutic Belt

1. Unroll the therapeutic belt and identify the integrated electrode areas.
2. Connect the lead wires from your TENS/EMS device to the connectors on the belt. Ensure a secure connection.
3. Wrap the belt around your lower back or abdomen, ensuring the electrodes are in direct contact with your skin.
4. If needed, use the XXL extension for a comfortable fit around larger circumferences.

Connecting the Therapeutic Cuff

1. Open the therapeutic cuff and identify the integrated electrode areas.
2. Connect the lead wires from your TENS/EMS device to the connectors on the cuff.
3. Wrap the cuff around your arm or forearm, ensuring the electrodes are in direct contact with your skin. Secure with the hook-and-loop fastener.

Applying Electrode Pads (Butterfly, Standard, Knee)

1. Ensure the skin where the pads will be applied is clean, dry, and free of oils or lotions.
2. Carefully peel the electrode pad from its protective liner.
3. Connect the lead wires from your TENS/EMS device to the snap connectors on the electrode pads.
4. Apply the pad firmly to the desired treatment area. For knee pads, ensure the banana shape conforms to the kneecap for optimal contact.
5. Press down firmly to ensure full adhesion.

Applying Electrode Gel

1. For enhanced conductivity, apply a small amount of Prorelax electrode gel directly to the skin where the electrode pad will be placed, or directly onto the electrode surface.
2. Spread the gel evenly to create a thin layer.
3. Apply the electrode pad over the gel as described above.

Operating Instructions

Once the accessories are properly connected and applied, you can begin your therapy session using your TENS or EMS device. Always follow the operating instructions provided with your specific TENS/EMS device.

TENS Mode Application (Pain Relief)

When using the therapeutic belt, cuff, or electrode pads for pain relief (TENS mode), select the appropriate program on your TENS device. Gradually increase the intensity until you feel a comfortable tingling sensation, avoiding any discomfort or muscle contraction. Common areas for TENS application include the lower back (with the belt), arms/forearms (with the cuff), and larger muscle groups or joints (with butterfly, standard, or knee pads).

EMS Mode Application (Muscle Strengthening)

When using the therapeutic belt or electrode pads for muscle strengthening (EMS mode), select an EMS program on your device. Increase the intensity until you observe a visible muscle contraction. The therapeutic belt is particularly effective for strengthening abdominal muscles. Ensure proper muscle engagement without overexertion.

General Usage Tips

• Skin Preparation: Always ensure your skin is clean and dry before applying electrodes to maximize adhesion and conductivity.
• Pad Placement: Refer to your TENS/EMS device manual or a healthcare professional for optimal electrode placement for your specific condition.
• Intensity Adjustment: Start with the lowest intensity setting and gradually increase it to a comfortable level. Never set the intensity so high that it causes pain.
• Session Duration: Follow the recommended session durations provided by your TENS/EMS device or healthcare professional.

Care and Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the lifespan of your Prorelax accessories and ensure optimal performance.

Cleaning Electrode Pads

After each use, gently clean the adhesive side of the electrode pads with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the pads in water. Allow them to air dry completely before reattaching them to their protective liner.

Cleaning Therapeutic Belt and Cuff

The therapeutic belt and cuff can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Ensure they are completely dry before storage.

Storage

Store all accessories in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep electrode pads on their protective liners when not in use to preserve their adhesive properties.

Electrode Pad Lifespan

The lifespan of electrode pads varies depending on skin type, frequency of use, and proper care. When pads lose their stickiness or conductivity, they should be replaced to ensure effective treatment.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues while using your Prorelax accessory set, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

Poor Conductivity or Weak Sensation

• Check Pad Adhesion: Ensure electrode pads are firmly adhered to clean, dry skin.
• Apply Electrode Gel: Use Prorelax electrode gel to improve contact between the skin and the electrodes.
• Inspect Pads: Check if the electrode pads are worn out or damaged. Replace them if necessary.
• Check Connections: Ensure all lead wires are securely connected to both the accessories and your TENS/EMS device.

Pads Not Sticking

• Clean Skin: Ensure the skin is clean, dry, and free of lotions, oils, or hair.
• Clean Pads: Gently clean the adhesive side of the pads with a damp cloth and let them air dry.
• Replace Pads: If pads have lost their stickiness after repeated cleaning, they need to be replaced.

Discomfort During Use

• Adjust Intensity: Lower the intensity setting on your TENS/EMS device.
• Check Pad Placement: Ensure pads are placed correctly and not over bony areas or open wounds.
• Consult Device Manual: Refer to your TENS/EMS device's manual for specific guidance on discomfort.
