COMMON QUESTIONS

Why does the intensity return immediately to 0r when increasing its value?
The unit has a control of current supply. In case the circuit is open the intensity is
automatically shut off.
It is therefore necessary, before starting any treatment, lo be sure that the cables are
well connected and the electrodes completely placed on the skin.
What kind of electrodes must be used for electro stimulation?
We suggest you to use adhesive electrodes that are more practical and improve the
stimulation quality. If used with care, they will last for about 25 - 30 applications.
The electrodes need to be replaced when a bad connection with your skin occurs.
Where to place the electrodes?
On the back of this manual you will find a comprehensive electrode placement guide.
If you want to verify the correct placement of electrodes you can also use the spe-
cial motor point pen or follow this method: place the electrode as indicated by the
picture, start the stimulation and with your hand move the electrode without remo-
ving it and let the skin sliding above the muscle. You will notice a change in con-
traction according to the different positions. Place the electrode where the contraction
is greater. Always remember to decrease the intensity to zero before moving the elec-
trodes.
How to use the Y cables.
With the help of a so-called Y-cable, the number of electrodes is doubled. This ena-
bles you to stimulate simultaneously two muscular groups with only one channel.
Does the power decrease using the Y cables?
The supplied intensity for each channel does not vary. If you use the Y cables on only
one channel the current is logically distributed on a greater muscular area consequently
the contraction will be less pronounced. Increase the intensity until the correct con-
traction is reached.
