STEP-BY-STEP TREATMENT GUIDE

1.

Using a mild soap and water solution, clean the skin thoroughly where

you will be placing the electrodes. The electrodes do not adhere well if

any dirt, oils, creams or other cosmetics are still on the skin.

2. Ensure that the device is switched off.

3. Insert, exchange or check battery as described on page 13. The battery

should be replaced when the 3 bars have disappeared and the empty

battery icon (

) flashes on the display.

4. The leads supplied with the AvivaTens XP are inserted into the sockets on

the underside of the device. Push the plug end of the lead into the

socket. The leads are designed so that once inserted, they are held

firmly in position (Fig. 4). After connecting the leads to the unit, attach

each lead to an electrode (Fig. 5).

5. AvivaTens XP is supplied with a set of electrodes. The electrodes should

be handled as stated in the manual. 

Please note the following points:

• Placement of the electrodes must be determined by a therapist.

• The safety information provided in this manual must be followed.

• The lead pins must be fully inserted into the electrode connector

with no metal pin visible.

• The complete surface of these electrodes should be in contact with

the skin (Fig. 6).

• Once the electrodes are attached, you may separate the leads to allow for better electrode placement.

• AvivaTens XP is supplied with a belt clip. You may attach the unit at the waist by attaching it to a belt.

Alternatively, the unit can be hand-held.
