cine. In the sports and fitness field, one of the uses of EMS is as a supplement
to conventional muscle training, in order to increase the efficiency of muscle
groups and adapt physical proportions to the desired aesthetic results. EMS
application goes in two directions. On the one hand, a targeted strengthening
of musculature can be produced (activating application) and on the other hand
a relaxing, resting effect can also be achieved (relaxing application).
Active application includes the following:
• Muscle training to improve endurance performance and/or
• Muscle training to support the strengthening of certain muscles or muscle
groups in order to achieve desired changes to body proportions.
Relaxing application includes the following:
• Muscle relaxation in order to loosen up muscular tension.
• Improving muscular fatigue symptoms.
• Accelerating muscle regeneration after high muscular performance (e.g. after
a marathon).
Through integrated massage technology , Digital TENS/EMS also offers the
possibility of reducing muscular tension and combating fatigue symptoms
using a programme based on real massage in terms of sensation and effect.
Using the positioning suggestions and programme charts in this manual, you can
determine the device setting fast and easily for the respective application (depen-
ding on the region of the body affected) in order to ensure the desired effect.
Through the four separately adjustable channels, the Digital TENS/EMS has
the advantage of adapting pulse intensity independently to several parts of
the body to be treated, for example in order to cover both sides of the body
or ensure even stimulation of larger areas of tissue. The individual intensity
setting of each channel also allows you to treat up to four different parts of
the body at the same time, making for a time saving compared with individual
sequential treatment.

2. Important Information
Use of the device does not replace medical consultation and treatment.
In the event of any type of pain or illness, you must therefore always first
ask your doctor.
WARNING!
In order to prevent any damage to health, we would urgently advise
against using the Digital TENS/EMS in the following cases:
• With any implanted electrical devices (such as pacemakers).
• If there are any metal implants.
• When using an insulin pump.
• In case of high fever (e.g. > 39°C).
• In case of known or acute cardiac arrhythmias and other disorders in
stimulus formation and conduction of the heart.
• If suffering from attacks (e.g. epilepsy).
• If pregnant.
• In case of cancer.
• After operations where increased muscle contractions might impair the
healing process.
• Never use near the heart. Stimulation electrodes should never be placed
anywhere on the front of the thorax (marked by ribs and
breastbone), but above all not on the two large pectoral
muscles. Here it can increase the risk of ventricular
fibrillation and lead to cardiac arrest.
• On the bony part of the cranium, near the mouth, throat or
larynx.
• Near the throat / carotid artery.
• Near the genitals.
• On acutely or chronically diseased (injured or inflamed) skin (e.g. in the
event of painful and painless inflammation, reddening, skin rashes (e.g. al-
