6. Operation

General notes on use
Do not switch on the device until the cuff is correctly positioned. See chapter 5.
The knee and elbow TENS is intended for individual treatment of pain in the knee and elbow.
Switching on
Hold down the On/Off button [1] until a short signal sounds and the LCD display [6] switches on. When the
device is switched on for the first time, program A is automatically activated.
Selecting a program
Press the program button P [3] to switch between the programs.
The following programs are available:
Program Frequency
A 4 Hz – 110 Hz (3 phases)
B 4 Hz
C 2 Hz (burst)
D 100 Hz
Note:
With program A, you will feel the effect become stronger when the program changes from phase 1 to
phase 2 (after approx. 10 minutes). This is normal and intentional. If the intensity seems too high, you can
lower it by simply pressing the intensity button ▼ [2].
Note:
If the program is changed during stimulation (for example from A to B), the output intensity will increase
gradually in the new program until it reaches the intensity that was previously set. This can be stopped if
required by pressing and holding the intensity button ▼ [2] for two seconds or by switching off the device
by pressing and holding the On/Off button [1] for two seconds.
Stopping pulses that are too strong
You can lower the intensity at any time or turn the device off by pressing and holding the On/Off button [1]
(~ 2 seconds).
Setting the intensity
Press the intensity button ▲ [2] to gradually increase the intensity or the intensity button ▼ [2] to lower the inten-
sity. There are 20 levels of intensity that can be selected. Depending on the intensity level, you will start to feel
tingling, which may increase up to muscle contractions.
Select a setting that is comfortable for you during use.
Preventing unwanted pulse changes
To prevent unintentional increases in intensity during a treatment, simply switch the button lock on. To do this,
press and hold the program selection button P [3] for approx. 2 seconds. An acoustic signal sounds and the
symbol " " appears in the display [6]. To release the button lock, press and hold the P button [3] for approx.
2 seconds.
Reacting to unpleasant sensations
If you feel a twinge or itching on your skin, you should switch the device off and proceed as follows:
• Check that the electrodes are OK and do not show any signs of damage.
• Check that the round cover is still on the electrode connections.
• Remove the cuff and moisten it again completely.
• When you put it back on, ensure that there is good contact with the skin and that the skin is damp.
