10.5 Cycled impulse parameter variation
In many cases it is necessary to cover the overall tissue structure at
the site of application by applying several impulse parameters. In the
digital EMS/TENS unit, this is achieved by the provided programs,
which automatically make a cyclical impulse parameter change.
This also prevents individual muscle groups at the site of application
being affected by fatigue.
The digital EMS/TENS unit provides sensible default current
parameter settings. With this, you can change the impulse intensity
at any time during use. In 6 programs you can also set various
parameters for stimulation yourself.
11. Cleaning and storage
Gel pads
• To ensure that the gel pads remain adhesive for as long as
possible, clean them carefully with a damp, lint-free cloth or clean
the underside of the electrodes under lukewarm, running water
and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
Before cleaning with water, remove the connection cable
from the device.
• Following treatment, stick the gel pads back onto the carrier foil
of the gel pads.
Cleaning the device
• After use, clean the device with a soft, slightly damp cloth. If it
is very dirty, you can also moisten the cloth with a mild soapy
solution.
• Do not use any chemical or abrasive cleaning agents.
Ensure that no water enters the device.
Reusing the device
Once it has been properly prepared, the device can be used again.
Preparation includes replacement of the gel pads as well as cleaning
of the surface of the device using a cloth moistened with a mild
soapy solution
Storage
• Do not make sharp kinks in the connection cables and electrodes.
• Disconnect the connection cables from the electrodes.
• After use, stick the gel pads back onto the carrier foil of the gel
pads.
• Store the device and accessories in a cool, well-ventilated space.
• Never place any heavy objects on the device.
• In order to achieve as long a battery service life as possible, fully
charge the battery at least every 6 months.
12. Disposal
The empty, completely flat batteries should be disposed of through
specially designated collection boxes, recycling points or electronics
retailers. You are legally required to dispose of devices including
batteries.
Note: The codes below are printed on batteries containing
harmful substances: Pb = Battery contains lead,
Cd = Battery contains cadmium, Hg = Battery contains
mercury.
For environmental reasons, do not dispose of the device in
the household waste at the end of its useful life. Dispose
of the device at a suitable local collection or recycling
point in your country. Dispose of the device in accordance
with EC Directive – WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment). If you have any questions, please contact the
local authorities responsible for waste disposal.
13. Problems and solutions
The device does not switch on when the ON/OFF button is
pressed. How to proceed?
(1) Make sure that the battery is fully charged.
(2) Charge the battery if necessary.
(3) Contact Customer Services.
The electrodes do not stick to the body. How to proceed?
(1) Clean the gel pads using a damp, lint-free cloth. The electrodes
must be replaced if they still do not stick securely.
