Operating Instructions
- Turn On: Slide the power switch located on the top of the unit to the "ON" position. The screen will illuminate.
- Select Mode: Press the M (Mode) button to cycle through the 24 available massage modes. Each mode offers a different type of stimulation (e.g., kneading, tapping, acupuncture-like).
- Adjust Intensity: Use the + and - buttons to increase or decrease the intensity of the stimulation. Start with the lowest intensity and gradually increase until you feel a comfortable, yet effective, sensation.
- Set Timer: Press the T (Time) button to adjust the treatment duration. The default time is typically 20 minutes, and it can be adjusted in increments.

Maintenance
- Cleaning Pads: After each use, gently wipe the adhesive side of the pads with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals.
- Storing Pads: Reattach the protective film to the adhesive side of the pads after use to maintain stickiness and prolong their lifespan. Store them in a cool, dry place.
- Replacing Pads: Electrode pads are reusable but will lose their adhesiveness over time (typically up to 6 uses). Replace them when they no longer stick firmly to the skin. Replacement pads can be purchased separately.
- Cleaning Unit: Wipe the main unit with a soft, dry cloth. Do not immerse in water or use abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your TENS unit, consider the following common problems and solutions:
- No Sensation or Weak Stimulation:
- Ensure the unit is turned ON and fully charged.
- Check that lead wires are securely connected to both the pads and the unit.
- Verify pads are firmly attached to the skin.
- Increase the intensity level gradually using the '+' button.
- Replace old or worn-out electrode pads.
- Sparking Sensation:
- This can occur if an electrode is not fully touching the skin. Reapply the pad firmly or replace it if it has lost adhesiveness.
- Screen Flashing / Device Malfunction:
- Ensure proper connection of pads to skin and unit.
- If the screen continues to flash or the device behaves unexpectedly, refer to the detailed user manual or contact customer support.
