1. Getting to know your device

1.1 What is Digital TENS/EMS and what can it do?

Digital TENS/EMS belongs to the group of electrical stimulation systems. It
has three basic functions, which can be used in combination:
1. Electrical stimulation of nerve tracts (TENS).
2. Electrical stimulation of muscle tissue (EMS).
3. A massage effect generated by electrical signals.
For this, the device has four independent stimulation channels and eight
self-adhesive electrodes. It has various versatile functions in order to increase
general wellbeing, alleviate pain, maintain physical fitness, relaxation,
revitalise muscles and combat fatigue. You can either select these functions
from preset programmes or determine them yourself according to your
requirements.
The operating principle of electrical stimulation equipment is based on
simulating the body's own pulses which are transmitted transcutaneously to
nerve or muscle fibres by means of electrodes. The electrodes can thereby
be attached to many parts of the body, whereby the electrical stimuli are
safe and practically painless. You merely feel a gentle prickling or vibrating in
some applications. The electrical pulses transmitted to the tissue affect the
trans mission of stimulation in nerve conductions as well as neural nodes and
muscle groups in the field of application.
