Chapter 18: BATTERY INFORMATION

AGF-5X TENS can be used with a rechargeable battery when necessary.

If you use rechargeable batteries, please follow the instructions.

RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES:

Prior to the use of a new unit, the rechargeable battery should be charged accord-

ing to the battery manufacturer

s instructions.  Before using the battery charger,

read all instructions and cautionary markings on the battery and in this instruction

manual.

After being stored for 60 days or more, the batteries may lose their charge.  After

long periods of storage, batteries should be charged prior to use.

BATTERY CHARGING

(1) Plug the charger into any working 110 or 220/240v mains electrical outlet.  The

use of any attachment not supplied with the charger may result in the risk of

fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

(2) Follow the battery manufacturer

s instructions for charging time.

(3) After the battery manufacturer

s recommended charging time has been

completed, unplug the charger and remove the battery.

(4) Batteries should always be stored in a fully charged state.

To ensure optimum battery performance, follow these guidelines:

(a) Although overcharging the batteries for up to 24 hours will not damage

them, repeated overcharging may decrease useful battery life.

(b) Always store batteries in their charged condition.  After a battery has been

discharged, recharge it as soon as possible.  If the battery is stored more

than 60 days, it may need to be recharged.

(c) Do not short the terminals of the battery.  This will cause the battery to get

hot  and can cause permanent damage.  Avoid storing the  batteries in your

pocket or purse where the terminals may accidentally come into contact

with coins, keys or any metal objects.

A. Increase

When pressing this button, the pulse width will increase gradually.

B.Decrease

When pressing this button, the pulse rate will decrease gradually.

7. The device will store the mode that is used before it is switched off

automatically.

8. Timer
     There is a timer on the right side of unit. The treatment time is selectable at

15, 30 and 60 minutes.  Push the switch when the desired position is reached.
Output   will be shut off when time is up. Turn off the  power  when output is
terminated.

9. Check / Replace the Battery:

Over time, in order to ensure the functional safety of TENS,
changing the battery is necessary.
1. Make sure that both intensity controls are switched to

off position.

2. Slide the battery compartment cover and open.
3. Remove the battery from the compartment.
4. Insert the battery into the compartment. Note the

polarity indicated on the battery and in the
compartment.

5. Replace the battery compartment cover and press

to close.
