Some people may feel skin irritation or experience a very sensitive feeling in the skin due to
electrical stimulation. If this occurs, stop using your TENS*STIM and consult your Physician.
If skin under one of more pads feels irritated after using the stimulator for a long period of time,
use the stimulator for a shorter period of time.

stimulator again until after the excessive redness has disappeared.
Turn off the stimulator if the stimulation feels unpleasant or does not provide pain relief.
Keep your TENS*STIM out of the reach of children.
Use your stimulator only with the pads, cables and accessories recommended by the manufacture.
