Problem

Possible cause

Solution

Device is on (lights illuminated 
on the LCD display) but can’t 
feel the electrical stimulation 
through footpads

The device is not being used correctly. Check 
corrective action procedure.

We call it “The hand  test”. Test the device by 
placing both bare hands at the same time on 
each of  the foot pads (left hand on the left 
pad, right hand on the right pad). Increase 
the “SOLE” intensity up in increments until 
you can feel the stimulation. If  you can feel 
the stimulation through your hands then the 
device is working. If  on the maximum setting 
and you still cannot feel the stimulation 
contact customer services.

Not placing both bare feet on the foot pads at 
the same time.

Ensure that your feet are bare and each 
foot is placed on each of  the foot pads at 
the same time. Keep increasing the “SOLE” 
intensity up to the maximum setting until you 
feel the stimulation.

Your feet may be dry

Moisturise the soles of  your feet preferably 
with a heel balm high in urea from your 
local pharmacy and try the procedure again. 
You may also have to increase the “SOLE” 
intensity level.

You may be dehydrated

Drink plenty of  water before and after using 
the device.  The device uses your body to 
create the electrical circuit. Water is an 
excellent conductor of  electricity and if  your 
body is less hydrated (below 60%) then 
the stimulation may be less. Therefore is 
important to always remain well hydrated.

The “SOLE” intensity level may be on too low 
a setting.

This is a very safe device. Keep increasing the 
“SOLE “ intensity level towards the maximum 
setting until you feel the stimulation. Ignore 
your friends and family if  they are able to 
feel it on much lower levels- everyone is 
different! Also, you may find that you have to 
increase the “SOLE” intensity as you get used 
to the therapy. The aim is not to get to the 
maximum setting, but to find a setting that is 
comfortable for you.

No power or lights to the device 
when switched on

DC adaptor not switched on at mains socket or 
DC adaptor not plugged into device properly

Check mains socket power is switched on 
and the DC adaptor is plugged into the 
device correctly. If  still not working-contact 
customer services.

The device is not vibrating

The device DOES NOT VIBRATE.

Read instructions on correct use.

The body electrode pads have 
lost their adhesive/stickiness

The electrode pads will eventually deteriorate 
with regular use. They are consumables. To 
guarantee maximum life, ensure that your skin 
is free from dirt, oil and lotions.

Dab a small drop of  water onto the sticky 
side of  the electrode pads and rub into 
the surface. This should improve the 
adhesiveness. Also use the hard white plastic 
holders to store the pads. 

My legs are aching after 
treatment 

You may have the “SOLE” intensity on too 
high a setting and your muscles are being 
overworked.

Leave adequate time after each treatment 
to allow the muscles to recover (just like 
after vigorous exercise!). On your next 
session start on a lower setting (where you 
can feel the mild electrical stimulation and 
it is comfortable) and reduce the duration 
until your muscles have acclimatised to the 
stimulation.
