Operating Instructions

1. Applying Electrode Pads

Carefully peel the electrode pads from their protective film. Apply the sticky side of the pads firmly to the clean, dry skin area requiring treatment. Ensure the pads are flat against the skin and not overlapping.

For best results, place pads on either side of the pain area, or on specific muscle groups. Refer to the included pad placement guide for detailed recommendations.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Device

Wipe the device with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.

Caring for Electrode Pads

• After each use, place the electrode pads back onto their protective film or the included pad holder.
• If pads lose their stickiness, gently dab the adhesive side with a few drops of water to reactivate. Allow to air dry slightly before reapplication.
• Replace pads when they no longer adhere well to the skin, as poor adhesion can reduce effectiveness and cause discomfort.

Storage

Store the device and accessories in the provided storage bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the device is fully charged before long-term storage.
