Understanding Red Light and Infrared Light:
The device utilizes two specific wavelengths:
- 660nm Red Light (Visible Light): This wavelength penetrates the skin's epidermis. It is associated with addressing superficial skin concerns.
- 850nm Infrared Light (Invisible Light): This wavelength penetrates deeper into tissues, reaching bones, subcutaneous muscle, and joints. It is associated with muscle relaxation, joint comfort, and a thermal effect on tissues.

8. Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your therapy pad.
- Cleaning: Always unplug the device from the power outlet before cleaning. Use a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface of the pad and remote control. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse the device in water.
- Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the pad is clean and dry before storing.
- Handling: Avoid bending or folding the pad excessively, as this may damage the internal components. Handle the power cord with care to prevent fraying or damage.
9. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your pedete Red Light Therapy Pad, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
