Electrode Placement Chart 

 

The following electrode placement diagrams are provided as a starting 

recommendation only.  Our charts are to be used as a guide.  There is no science to 
electrode placement, similar to using the PowerStim 15R machine, use comfort as 
your guide.  The stimulation results will vary according to the individual.  Individual 
sensitivity to EMS varies greatly.  EMS is a training, toning, and rehabilitation tool 
and can be adapter to suit the individual.  The ideal intensity setting is achieved when 
the stimulus and muscle contraction is strongly perceived but is not unpleasant or 
painful.  The bottom line: use the placement charts as a guide but don't be afraid to 
move the electrodes around to get the best contraction for your body.

TROUBLESHOOTING

 

 

1. The Power Indicator Light does not come on. 

Check to see that the AC Adapter is fully plugged into the unit and that the green 
light is on.  Make sure that wall socket is good by testing another appliance on it. 

2. The Stimulation Indicator Light is on but I don't feel anything. 

Make sure the cables a fully connected and that you have 2x electrodes plugged into 
both red and black lead wires on the same cable.  Test out the same cable and 
electrodes on different channels.  If that does not work try another cable and a new set 
of electrodes.  Check to make sure that the "WAVE" button is not pressed, if you still 
feel nothing contact us. 

3. I keep getting a prickly feeling on the skin. 

This can be caused by a few different things but mostly: 

 

Electrode Placement, make sure that when you place electrodes on your body 
that they DO NOT overlap.

 

 

Change out the self-adhesive electrodes once the adhesion is gone, do not try 
and hold them on your skin.  Throw away the electrodes after a month of 
continuous use.
