Operating instructions step-by-step
PREPARATION OF THE SKIN FOR A SESSION
Proper preparation of the skin that is covered by the electrodes allows a better
stimulation of the target tissue, prolongs the life of the electrodes and reduces
the risk of skin irritation. After connecting the cable to the stimulator prepare
your skin at the spots where electrodes will be placed as follows:
1. Determine the spots where the electrodes are to be placed.
2. Wash this area with mild soap and water (do not use alcohol). Rinse and
dry carefully.
3. Trim excess body hair in this area with a pair of scissors (do not shave).
4. Optionally, apply skin lotion to the area, to supply the skin with a pro-
tective layer. Apply, let dry and attach the electrode as described in this
manual. In this way you decrease the risk of skin irritation and prolong the
life of your electrodes.
5. When you remove the electrodes, always pull them in the direction of the
hair growth.
6. It may be helpful to apply skin lotion to the area of the electrode place-
ment when you are not wearing the electrodes.
Please refer to the “overview of the placement
of the pads” on page 51.
Insertion/changing of the batteries
1. Open the battery compartment on the back by pressing the battery cover
labelled “open” downwards (this area has a grooved surface so that you can
easily find it).
2. Insert 3 AAA batteries (1.5 V) into the battery compartment; make sure that
the symbols (+/- match).
3. Close the battery compartment again by placing the cover on the opening
provided therefor and gently pressing upwards.
4. Future battery replacement is performed in the same way.
