Electrode pad
The electrode pad could be used until it loses the stickiness and/or conductivity. The pad’s lifetime
greatly depends on the body skin condition and protection.
Purchase a new electrode pad as needed.
●
Low intensity to start
With the increase of intensity, you may experience sensations like tingling, vibration, etc. Therefore,
gradually increase the intensity, and stop increasing when a comfortable level is reached.

- Is it safe to use my TENS anywhere on the body by anybody?
This unit is extremely helpful for shoulders, back, arms, legs, feet, hips and knee area. It can be
extremely beneficial when used properly.
DO NOT use the device near the heart on the chest, genitals, neck, face or head. If you have any
medical condition and are unsure about using the device safely, consult your physician first (also
refer to Safety Warnings in this manual).
- What is the difference between PMS and TENS? Does this unit provide both?
PMS stands for Electrical Muscle Stimulation and TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Neural
Stimulation. TENS modes on the device are specifically for pain and soreness. The PMS modes are
for muscle stimulation and better blood circulation in the lower body.
- What can I do to elongate the life of my electrode pad?
Cleanse the area of skin you will be placing the electrode pad with soap and water, or with a damp
cloth. Make sure the area is dry before applying the electrode pad. When storing the electrode pad,
we recommend placing it back onto the plastic film the pad came attached.
Electrodes that become wet from sweat or water and do not stick anymore need to be replaced.
You can also cleanse the pad with a damp cloth. If it is too dirty or your skin feels numb after the pad
is cleaned, replace the pad.
- What type of conditions does TENS/PMS really benefit?
TENS is great for many kinds of muscle and nerve pains such as lower back pain, knee pain, sciatica,
and fibromyalgia. PMS modes are great for improving muscle performance or increasing blood
circulation in the lower extremities from a sedentary lifestyle or your muscles lack tone and firmness.
