Selecting the Therapy Intensity Level 

This device offer a maximum of 25 intensity levels.     

 

The design of the device does not allow the user to modify any of the electrical parameters. The only adjustment that can 

be made is the electrical intensity which is set to a predetermined maximum current that is well with in safe limits. The 

intensity of the electrical current determines the number of working fibers  in the stimulated muscles. The lower the 

current intensity the lower the number o f working fibers in the muscle. The higher the current intensity the greater the 

number of working fibers in the muscle.  

 

If using the device for help with temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles then you will find that 

setting the current intensity to your own comfortable and pleasing level will give you much satisfaction. This level is 

different for each user so adjusts slowly and accordingly.  

 

If you desire to stimulate healthy muscles (EMS)  in order to improve and facilitate muscle performance then you want to 

achieve a significant number of working fibers. You require a minimum intensity (approx. 30mA) to accomplish this . This 

can be achieved relatively quickly (2 to 3 sessions) by progressively increasing the intensity during the session. Once this 

threshold is reached, continue to progressively increase the current intensity making the session more effective.  
1.  Intensity is adjustable according to the channel selected. 

Select the channel you wish to adjust by pressing CH1 or CH2. 
“CH1” or “CH2” will flash on the display. 
 

2.  To increase or decrease the intensity, press ON + (to increase) or 

OFF – (to decrease) repeatedly until the desired intensity level 
flashes on the display.

Note 

: You will feel the intensity increase or decrease as you select  

           

the intensity level. You can use this as a guide  

  to select a level that is comfortable for you. 

 

Ÿ

 Note 

: If you change therapy mode/program during the course of a  

                therapy session, the intensity level will reset to “0” showing on  
                the screen, for safety reason. 
 
3.  Press MODE to save your selection. 
 

Ÿ

 Note:  

It is suggested that treatment frequency is 3 times per day

 

 

 

 

 

Never set intensity so that the stimulation becomes extremely uncomfortable.
