7. Vedligeholdelse

7.1 Rengøring af enheden

Tør enheden af med en blød, damp klæde. Brug ikke slibende rengøringsmidler eller nedsænk enheden i vand.
Sørg for, at enheden er helt tør før opbevaring eller næste brug.

7.2 Pleje af elektrodepuder

After each use, place the electrode pads back onto their protective film to preserve their adhesive quality.
Hvis puderne mister deres klæbrighed, skal du forsigtigt tørre den klæbende overflade af med enamp klud og lad lufttørre. Brug ikke sæbe eller skrappe kemikalier.
Replace pads when they no longer adhere well to the skin, as poor adhesion can reduce effectiveness and cause discomfort.

Fjern batterierne, hvis enheden ikke skal bruges i længere tid, for at forhindre lækage.
