depth of the electricity, where usually larger muscle mass requires a
larger impulse width.
8.7.4 Impulse intensity
Setting the intensity level depends on the individual
sensitivity of each user and is determined by a va-
riety of variables, such as site of application, blood
supply to the skin, skin thickness and the quality
of the electrode contact. The settings should be effective but should
never cause an unpleasant sensation, such as pain at the site of ap-
plication. While a gentle tingling indicates sufficient stimulation energy
levels, any setting that causes pain should be avoided.
When using the device for an extended period, you may need to ad-
just the intensity level, as your muscles may start to adapt to the im-
pulse intensity.
8.7.5 Cycled impulse parameter variation
In many cases it is necessary to cover the overall tissue structure at
the site of application by applying several impulse parameters. In the
Digital TENS/EMS device, this is achieved by the provided programs,
which automatically make a cyclical impulse parameter change. This
also prevents individual muscle groups at the site of application being
affected by fatigue.
The Digital TENS/EMS device provides sensible default current para-
meter settings. With this, you can change the impulse intensity at any
time during use. In 6 programs you can also set various parameters
for stimulation yourself.
9. Cleaning and maintenance
Adhesive electrodes
• To ensure that the adhesive electrodes remain adhesive for as long
as possible, clean them carefully with a damp, lint-free cloth or clean
the underside of the electrodes under lukewarm, running water and
pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
Before cleaning with water, remove the connection cables from
the electrodes.
• Reapply the electrodes to the carrier foil following treatment.
Cleaning the device
• Remove the batteries from the device before cleaning.
• After use, clean the device with a soft, slightly damp cloth. If it is
very dirty, you can also moisten the cloth with a mild soapy solution.
• Do not use any chemical or abrasive cleaning agents for cleaning.
Ensure that no water enters the device.
Reuse of the device
Once it has been properly prepared, the device can be used again.
Preparation includes replacement of the treatment electrodes as well
as cleaning of the surface of the device using a cloth moistened with
a mild soapy solution.
Storage
• Remove the batteries from the device if you will not be using it for a
prolonged period of time. Leaking batteries may damage the device.
• Do not make sharp kinks in the connection cables and electrodes.
• Disconnect the connection cables from the electrodes.
• Reapply the electrodes to the carrier foil after use.
• Store the device in a cool, well-ventilated space.
• Never place any heavy objects on the device.
