The Opti-Max Key

This provides 

extra versatility

to your Elle TENS 2. Increasing or decreasing 

the 

Opti-Max

Key will allow you to either 

heighten or lessen the level of pulse

power

transmitted to the electrode pads. 

Pressing the 

Opti-Max

Key either 

+

or 

will increase or decrease Opti-Max

 sensation. This is extremely useful for the final stages of labour when you 

need an extra surge of power. There are 5 Opti-Max levels: 50, 100, 150, 200 and

250

(microseconds). The unit will always start up at Opti-Max 150

s

which is exactly half way between the highest and lowest setting.

N.B. 1.

The Opti-Max Key can be used according to your preference and not necessarily for

the stage of labour you are in. 

2.

When operating the Opti-Max Key the 

CT information temporarily disappears, but reappears in 1 second automatically. 

When you have finished

Press the 

On/Off 

Button to turn the unit off before removing the wires. Remove the

jack plugs from sockets holding the plugs between the forefinger and thumb. Remove

electrodes returning them to the plastic backing and pouch as supplied.

  Useful Tips

Continue stimulation for as

long as necessary, unless you

experience discomfort. 

If you stimulate for a number

of hours ensure the pads do

not become dry. If this occurs,

switch off the unit, disconnect

the electrodes, and apply a

small drop of water to them.
