2. Initial use
1. Connect the connection cable with the electrodes (Fig. 1).
The electrodes feature clip closures to make connection
particularly easy.
2. Guide the connection cable plugs into the socket on the side of the
device.
3. Do not pull, twist or make sharp bends in the cables.
3. Information regarding the positioning of electrodes
It is fundamental to the intended success of electrostimulation applications that
electrodes are positioned sensibly.
Electrode distance:
The greater the distance between the electrodes, the larger the stimulated tissue
volume. This applies to the area and depth of the tissue volume. At the same
time, however, the stimulation intensity of the tissue falls the further the electrodes
are apart. As a result, greater distances between electrodes mean a larger tissue
volume is stimulated, but less intensively. Consequently, you must increase the
impulse intensity to boost stimulation.
The following guideline applies to selection of the electrode distance:
• Sensible distance: approx. 5 – 15 cm
• At distances below 5 cm, the device primarily stimulates surface structures inten-
