(3) Check that the electrodes are positioned properly and make sure that the
adhesive electrodes are not overlapping.
(4) Increase pulse intensity in stages.
(5) The batteries are almost empty. Replace these.
You are aware that the electrodes feel uncomfortable. What should I do?
(1) The electrodes are badly positioned. Check positioning and if necessary
reposition the electrodes.
(2) The electrodes are worn. Due to the fact that current distribution can no
longer be guaranteed evenly over the entire surface, these may lead to
skin irritation. You must therefore replace these.
The skin in the treatment area becomes red. What should I do?
Stop treatment immediately and wait until the skin has returned to normal. If
any redness beneath the electrode soon disappears, this is not dangerous
and is due to the increased circulation which has been stimulated locally.
If, however, the skin irritation remains and there is possibly itching or inflam-
mation, please consult your doctor before further use. It may possibly be
caused by an allergy to the adhesive surface.
