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 unit.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS REGARDING THE PADS
• Apply pads to normal, healthy, clean, dry skin (of adult patients).
• If you experience any skin irritation or redness after a session, do
not continue stimulation on that area of the skin.
• Never apply the pads to:
- The head or any area of the face.
- The neck or any area of the throat because this can cause severe
muscle spasms resulting in closure of the airway, difficulty
breathing, or adverse effects on heart rhythm or blood pressure.
- Both sides of the thorax simultaneously (lateral or front and
back), or across your chest because the introduction of electrical
current may cause rhythm disturbances, which could be lethal.
• Do not bend or fold because the pad may not function properly.
Place the pads onto the plastic film and then store in the sealed
package when not in use.
• Do not apply ointment or any solvent to the pads or to your skin
because it will keep the pads from functioning properly.
• The pads are already pre-gelled and will adhere to your skin.
• To avoid damage to the adhesive surface of the pads, put the pads
only on the skin or on the plastic film provided.
• Place pads at least 2 inches apart on your skin.
The pads should never touch each other.

• 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.
DO NOT USE YOUR PADS THIS WAY:
• Pads should not touch each other when placed onto your skin.
• Do not place on your spine or backbone.
• Pads should not touch any metal object, such as a belt buckle,
necklace or other jewelry made from metal.
• Pads should not be placed simultaneously on the soles of both
feet.
• Pads should not be placed simultaneously on the calves of both
legs.
• 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 place or relocate the pads while the device is on.
• Always turn the power off before removing or changing the pad
location.
• Do not leave pads attached to the skin after treatment.
CAUTION WHILE USING THE UNIT
• If the unit is not functioning properly or you feel discomfort,
immediately stop using the device.
• Do not use for any other purpose except as described in this
manual.
• Do not insert the electrode plug into any place other than the jack
on the main unit.
• Do not mix alkaline and manganese batteries, as this will shorten
the battery life.
