Intensity Adjustment
Adjust the intensity for each channel using the dedicated intensity control buttons (up/down arrows) for CH1, CH2, CH3, and CH4. Start with a low intensity and gradually increase it until you feel a comfortable, yet effective, sensation.
Timer Setting

Electrode Placement Guidelines
Proper electrode placement is crucial for effective treatment. Place the electrodes on clean, dry skin over or around the area of pain or muscle to be stimulated. Avoid placing electrodes over open wounds, irritated skin, or sensitive areas like the eyes or throat.
