* Self-Adhesive reusable long-term electrodes (if looked after) have a
typical life span of 4/6 weeks. We recommend cleaning the skin with an
alcohol-based wipe before placing the electrodes. The wipe should not
contain fat as any grease will degrade the electrode stickiness. After use,
place the electrodes back onto the plastic
lm and in the zip-tag plastic
pouch. Store in a cool environment which is not too dry.

Electrode Types & Tips
A Few Good Tips [Self- Adhesive Electrodes]:
*
If you
nd the electrodes will not stick due to oily skin, cleanse the
skin with soap and water, then rinse and dry the area around the
electrode site. If this does not work, try cleansing the skin with a
swab impregnated with alcohol.
*
Clip away hairy skin using a scissors; don’t use a razor to remove
the hair!
*
The electrodes conductive material is water- based. If it becomes
saturated (e.g. from perspiration), it will lose its adhesive qualities.
After use leave the electrodes face up overnight to dry out (replace
on plastic
lm in the morning).
At some point the electrodes will become dry. Moisten the adhesive
surface with a few drops of water, and apply onto the plastic
lm
overnight. This procedure will give you a few more days of electrode
life.

Setting up Customised Programmes PC1, PC2 or PC3
First, if a programme is running, press the PRG button twice to return to the
home screen.
Refer to the example of custom programme diagram on page 9.
1.
Press the PRG button until PC1, PC2 or PC3 is selected.
2.
Press and hold the SET button for three seconds, the phase indicator
arrow and Hz symbol will
ash on and o
ff
.
3.
Press CH.B +/- to set the frequency between 2 Hz and 100 Hz.
4.
Press CH.A +, the
μ
S symbol will
ash, press CH.B +/- to set the
pulse duration between 50
μ
S and 330
μ
S.
5.
Press CH.A +, the MIN symbol will
ash, press CH.B +/- to set
the length of the phase time between 1 and 99 minutes.
Set the time to zero to end the programme on this phase.
6.
Press CH.A +, the WORK / REST or the CONT symbols will
ash,
Press the CH.B +/- to select WORK / REST or CONT (continuous).
Note: if continuous is selected, the menu will loop back to step 2.
7.
Press CH.A +, WK will appear and
ash, press CH.B +/- to set the
work seconds between 2 and 99 seconds.
8.
Press CH.A +, RT will appear and
ash, press CH.B +/- to set the rest
seconds between 2 and 99 seconds.
9.
Press CH.A +, RP will appear and
ash, press CH.B +/- to set the ramp
seconds between 0.1 and 9.9 seconds.
10. Press CH.A +, AL or SY will appear and
ash, press CH.B +/- to
select alternating or synchronous current.
Note: if alternating is selected, the menu will loop back to step 2.
11. Press CH.A +, DY will appear and
ash, press CH.B +/- to set the
delay of channel B starting between 0 and 4 seconds after channel A.
12. The menu will now loop back to step 2 and the Hz symbol will
ash.
13. To set the next phase, press the set button. The phase symbol will
ash
over the next phase, continue with step 2 to set this phase.
14. When
nished setting the phases, press the PRG button to save the
settings and return to the home screen.
The programme will be saved permanently.
Setting the phase time of phase 2,3,4 or 5 to zero will cause the programme to
end at that phase.
Following procedures 1 to 12 can reprogramme a customised programme.
If for example there are 5 pre-set phases in one overall programme and only
4 phases are now required, input 0 (zero) into the phase time that is no longer
required and press the PRG key to store the new information.
