6. Heat
In addition to the TENS/EMS/Massage programs, the EM59 Heat
also offers two heat levels, which can be activated as required for
all programs, see section 5.2 on usage. The heat emitted by the gel
pads relaxes the muscle and improves circulation. You can activate
the first level of the heat function by pressing the Heat button. Then
wait a moment until the temperature stops increasing. If the tem-
perature is too low for you, you can activate the second level of the
heat function by pressing the Heat button again. If you would like
to deactivate the heat function, you can do so by pressing the Heat
button again
If you want to use the heat function separately, without additional
stimulation, proceed as follows:
Step 1: Position the electrodes in your desired target area. (See
section "7.4 Information regarding the positioning of elect-
rodes" for placement suggestions) and connect them with
the device
Step 2: Press the ON/OFF button to switch on the device
Step 3: Press the Heat button in order to access the Heat settings
Step 4: Use the
˄/˅
setting buttons to select the treatment time you
want and press the ENTER button to confirm your selection
Step 5: Press the Heat button again in order to switch on the first
level of the heat function. Then wait a moment until the tem-
perature stops increasing. If the temperature is too low for
you, you can activate the second level of the heat function
by pressing the Heat button again.
