The following safety instructions
also apply when using TENS.
Only use the device with the supplied or
reordered original accessory parts, other-
wise the warranty is voided
PRECAUTIONS:
x Do not use directly on the skull or spinal
column.
x The stimulation electrodes must not be
applied to any point on the front of the
thorax (i.e. around the ribs and breast-
bone), particularly not to the two large
pectoral muscles. This may increase the
risk of ventricular fibrillation and cause
cardiac arrest.
x Do not modify the electrodes (e.g. by
trimming). This will increase the intensity
of the current and may be dangerous
(the max. recommended output value for
the electrodes is 9 mA/cm2, an effective
current intensity in excess of 2 mA/cm2
requires increased care during use).
x Do not confuse the electrode cables and
their contacts with your headphones or
other devices and do not connect the
electrodes to other devices.
x Pretreating the skin with oil-rich creams
or ointments is not recommended, as
this sharply increases wear on the elec-
trodes, and may also lead to unpleasant
current peaks.
