Setup Instructions
1. Prepare the Skin
Before applying the electrode pads, ensure the skin area is clean and dry. This helps to maximize adhesion and conductivity of the pads.
2. Connecting the Electrode Pads
Attach the lead wires to the electrode pads. The pads have a 2mm pin connection for easy and secure attachment. Ensure both pads connected to a single lead wire are attached to the skin for the unit to function correctly.

Electrode Pad Placement
Proper placement of electrode pads is crucial for effective and safe treatment. Electrodes should be placed on a user's body depending on the physical location of their pain. The TENS unit machine sends electrical current that travels through electrodes and into the skin, stimulating specific nerve pathways to produce a tingling or massaging sensation that reduces the perception of pain. Always ensure pads are placed at least one inch apart.

Common Placement Areas:
| Body Part | Recommended Placement |
|---|---|
| Neck | On either side of the neck, avoiding the front of the throat. |
| Shoulder | Around the shoulder blade or on the deltoid muscle. |
| Back | Along the spine, avoiding direct placement on the spinal column. |
| Knee | Above and below the kneecap, or on either side. |
| Elbow | Around the elbow joint, avoiding direct contact with the joint itself. |
| Wrist | On the forearm muscles, away from the wrist bone. |
| Leg | On the calf or thigh muscles, depending on the area of discomfort. |
Maintenance
Cleaning the Device
Wipe the NURSAL TENS Unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
Cleaning and Storing Pads
The electrode pads are reusable and designed for up to 40 uses with proper care. After each use, gently wipe the adhesive side of the pads with a damp cloth or a small amount of water to remove any skin oils or debris. This helps maintain their excellent self-stick performance and prolongs their lifespan. Once cleaned, place the pads back onto the provided pads holder (plastic sheets) to protect the adhesive surface. Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in the included pouch.
