Operation
Lead Wires
Lead wires connect the device to the electrodes. They carry the electrical pulses from the
device to the electrodes on your skin. You must have an electrode on both the pins for the
device to work properly.
Electrodes
There are several types and sizes of electrodes, and each type has different characteristics.
The Select usually includes two (2) packs of four (4) 2-inch round or 2-inch square,
reusable, self-adhering electrodes, as shown below. Each electrode has a connector for
inserting a lead wire pin and an electrical-conductive adhesive pad that attaches to your
skin. These electrodes are flexible and conform to the skin very well. They can be reused
10 to 15 times, depending on skin type and electrode care.
Inspect your electrodes before every use. Replace electrodes as needed. If you need
additional electrodes, contact Customer Service at 800-328-2536.
To use these electrodes:
1. Attach the lead wire to the electrode.
2. Remove the liner from the electrode and store in plastic bag.
3. Apply the electrode to the prescribed skin area.
4. Replace electrodes that do not adhere properly to the skin
or that fail to deliver proper stimulation.
CAUTION
: Do not pull on the electrode wire. Doing so may damage the
wire and electrode.
