Life of the Electrodes:
The electrodes are water based and can dry out if left outside of the PVC storage bag.
If the electrodes lose their adhesive quality in this way, it is possible to reactivate their
adhesiveness by applying a fine spray of water.
Replace the electrodes when they stop sticking well. This can affect the efficiency of
the unit and may lead to skin irritation.
