Operating Instructions

Applying Electrode Pads

Ensure the skin area where pads will be applied is clean, dry, and free of oils or lotions. Remove the protective film from the electrode pads and firmly press them onto the desired treatment area. For optimal adhesion and longevity, you may apply a few drops of water to the pads if they start to lose stickiness.
