Safety Precautions and Warnings
DO NOT USE THIS UNIT UNDER THESE CONDITIONS
Consult with your physician before using this unit. The unit may cause lethal rhythm disturbances in certain susceptible individuals. If you have had a recent surgical procedure, the stimulation may disrupt the healing process.
Before using your unit, inspect these things:
- Cord is not broken.
- Pad gel is not damaged.
- Electrode cord connection is not broken.
- Unit is intact and working.
- There is no battery leakage.
DO NOT USE ON THESE INDIVIDUALS
- Pregnant women
- Children or infants (device not evaluated for pediatric use)
- Keep out of the reach of young children, as the electrode cord could cause strangulation.
- Persons incapable of expressing their thoughts or intentions.
- Persons incapable of operating the unit by themselves.
- Use with caution if you have a tendency to bleed internally, such as following an injury or fracture.
- If you have suspected or diagnosed heart disease, follow precautions recommended by your physician.
- If you have suspected or diagnosed epilepsy, follow precautions recommended by your physician.
- Use caution if stimulation is applied over the menstruating uterus.
NEVER APPLY THE PADS TO THESE BODY AREAS:
- The head, the mouth, or any area of the face.
- The neck or any area of the throat, as this could cause severe muscle spasms resulting in closure of the airway, difficulty in breathing, or adverse effects on heart rhythm or blood pressure.
- Near the heart, or on the genital area.
- Both sides of the thorax simultaneously (lateral or front and back), or across your chest, as the introduction of electrical current may cause rhythm disturbances which could be lethal.
- On the calves of both legs at the same time, as this may cause cardiac disturbance.
- On the bottom of both feet at the same time, as this may cause cardiac disturbance.
- Over open wounds or rashes, swollen, red, infected or inflamed areas, skin eruptions (such as varicose veins, phlebitis, thrombophlebitis and thrombosis), on top of or close to cancerous lesions, or over areas of skin that lack normal sensation.
DO NOT USE THIS UNIT DURING THESE ACTIVITIES
- When in bath or shower.
- While sleeping.
- While driving, operating machinery, or during any activity in which electrical stimulation can put you at risk of injury.
Pain Management Warnings
- If you have had medical or physical treatment for your pain, consult with your physician before using this unit.
- If your pain does not improve, becomes serious chronic or severe, or continues for more than five years, stop using the unit and consult with your physician.
- The mere existence of pain functions as a very important warning telling us that something is wrong. Therefore, if you suffer from any serious illness, consult your physician in order to confirm that it is advisable for you to use this Power Relief unit.
Precautions Regarding the Pads
- Do not move the pads to another location while the unit is on.
- Therapy won't work with just one pad. You MUST USE TWO PADS at the same time.
- Make sure the components are connected well and the pads are fixed on the part of the body you wish to treat, or the therapy may not be effective.
- Pads should not touch any metal object, such as belt buckle, necklace, or other metal worn under clothing.
- Do not overlap pads or put pads on top of each other. It may weaken or stop therapy, or the unit may stop working. Gel pads may also stick together and cause gel to be removed when separating.
- Do not share pads with another person. This may cause a skin irritation or infection. Pads are intended for use by one person.
- Do not leave pads attached to the skin after treatment.
- Do not bend or fold pads, because the gel may get damaged and they won't stick or function properly.
- To avoid damage to the adhesive surface of the pads, put the pads only on the skin or on the plastic pad holder provided.
- Always place clean pads in accordance with illustrations provided.
- Do not apply ointment or any solvent to the pads or to your skin, because it will disrupt the pads from functioning properly. The self-adhesive pads will adhere to your skin.
How Does It Work?
Scientific theory suggests that electrical stimulation therapy may work in several ways:
- The gentle electrical pulse moves through the skin to nearly nerves to block or shut out the pain message from the source of the pain to reaching the brain.
- The gentle electrical pulse increases the production of the body's natural painkiller, such as endorphins.
- Furthermore, it is thought that the electrical stimulation improves blood circulation as well. Muscles contract and relax with the flow of the electrical stimulation. With the repeated contracting and relaxing, the blood flows in and out, and the blood circulation is improved.
Operating Instructions
- Connect the pads to the wire by snapping them on, then remove the protective film. ? Note: Adding a few drops of water on the pads will increase their longevity.
- Place pads where the massage sensations are desired. Plug into one of the ports on the device. For additional relief, use the second port and repeat the procedure to put on another two pads. Make sure both pads are on the skin and not overlapping. Ensure your skin is free from any dirt, oil, or lotion.
- Turn the device on by sliding the on/off switch on the top of the unit. The unit will be now activated.
- Press the mode button to try different modes. Then press the center button to choose the waves within that selection. The strength will default to the lowest setting by each mode selection. ? Note: The center button can also be used as a lock key. Press and hold it for 3 seconds to lock the screen, and 3 seconds again to unlock the screen.
- Once you select a mode, gradually increase the intensity by pressing the '+' button; decrease it by pressing the '-' button.
- Recommended application is 10-60 minutes. Increase 10 minutes by each setting. The time remaining is automatically counted down. The unit will automatically turn off after the time finishes.
