How Does It Work?

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)

TENS are safe, non-invasive, drug-free methods of pain management. TENS is currently one of the most commonly used forms of electro-analgesia. The TENS device relieves pain by sending small electrical impulses through electrodes placed on the skin to underlying nerve fibers.

EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation)

EMS, also known as powered muscle stimulator (PMS), is an electrically powered device that repeatedly contracts muscles by passing electrical currents through electrodes contacting the affected body area.

4. Troubleshooting

If your device works improperly, please check below for common problems and the corresponding suggested solutions. If the recommended action does not solve your problem, please contact the seller.

Problem Possible Cause Solution
One pad feels stronger than the other. This is normal. Different areas of your body will react differently. Nothing needs to be done. Make sure the pads are moist and make good contact.
The skin turns red or the skin feels irritated. The adhesive on the surface of the pads is dirty or dry. Wash adhesive the surface of pads gently with your fingertips for about 3 seconds under slow running water.
The therapy time is too long or the intensity is set too high. Reduce the application time or reduce the intensity.
The electrode pad surface is worn out. Replace electrode pad.
The intensity is not felt with a very weak intensity level. Pads are not attached to the body firmly. Attach both pads firmly to the skin.
The transparent films are still stuck to the pads. Peel off film on the adhesive surface of pads.
The pads stack together or overlap. Do not stick pads together or overlap pads.
The cord is not properly connected to the unit. Connect cord correctly into the jack.
The intensity of the setting is getting weak. Increase the intensity level.
The battery capacity is low. Charge the battery.
No power source; no display on LCD. The battery is drained. Charge the battery.
It is difficult to attach the pad to the skin. Did not remove the transparent film from the pad. Peel off film on the adhesive surface of pads.
Apply the pads immediately after cleaning them. Dry the pad.
The adhesive on the surface of the pad is damaged. Replace the pad.
Power cuts off during use. The battery is weak. Charge the battery.
Could not turn on the device. The cord is broken. Replace the cord.
The unit is charging. Stop charging the unit and try to turn it again.
Adhesive on the surface of pads is not sticky. Pads get deteriorative. Contact the vendor for replacements.
The pads were stored under high temperature, high humidity, or direct sunshine. Replace the pad.

If you feel the intensity changes suddenly and dramatically:

Possible Cause

  1. Different areas of your body will react differently. When at a lower intensity, you may not feel the intensity at first. If you continue to increase the intensity rapidly, it may cause the strength to increase suddenly and become unbearable.

Solution: It is recommended that for each increase in the intensity level, feel for 1-2 minutes and then slowly increase the intensity per the situation.

  1. Each mode is different. If the frequency or intensity of the mode increases significantly from a lower level during the middle or later stages of the massage, further increases in intensity may be unbearable.

Solution: Be careful to increase the intensity when you feel a significant increase in frequency or intensity in the middle and later stages. If you have a slight discomfort, do not continue to increase the intensity.
