16. TROUBLESHOOTING
If your TENS machine is not working properly please check
the following:
BATTERIES:
i) Have they been fitted correctly? ii) Do they need replacing?
PADS:
If PADS signal is flashing:- i) Have you applied both electrode pads
(per lead wire) to ensure a complete circuit? ii) Are the lead wires
properly connected at both ends?
If the above review has failed to resolve your problem, call
TensCare or your local dealer (address on back cover) for advice.
17. CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
Do not use TENS :
•
If you have a heart pacemaker or have a heart rhythm problem.
TENS in the direct vicinity of a pacemaker may affect some
models. If TENS is applied on the front of the neck this can
affect your heart rate. Very strong TENS across the chest may
cause an extra heartbeat.
•
If you have epilepsy.
TENS may affect seizure threshold.
•
During the first three months of pregnancy.
It is not known
whether TENS may affect foetal development.
•
On the abdomen in the later stages of pregnancy.
Stop use immediately if you experience unexpected contractions.
•
When driving, operating machinery, or similar actions
needing fine control.
Loose pads, damaged leads, or
sudden changes in contact may cause brief involuntary
muscle movements.
•
To mask or relieve undiagnosed pain.
May delay diagnosis of progressive condition.
Caution :
•
Observe caution when using the Itouch Plus at the same
time as being connected to monitoring equipment with
body worn electrode pads.
It may interfere with the signals
being monitored.
•
Strong electromagnetic fields (electrosurgery/microwave
cookers/mobile phones) may affect the correct operation of
this unit - See section 21.
If it appears to behave unusually,
move it away from these devices.
