Troubleshooting
• The belt may be worn comfortably under clothing when the
settings for the treatment program and time have been selected
and the keypad cover
12
has been closed again. Take care in this
case that the pushbutton connectors,
1
and
3
, do not get pulled
off and that the cables are not damaged.
• For ease of use, the TENS unit may be worn on the belt by
attaching it using the clip on its rear.
• If an application is to be repeated, first turn the two intensity
controllers,
15
and
9
, to the
OFF
position and then back to the
desired intensity level. The program is repeated with the settings
selected previously.
• Try out different programs to find out which of the preset
program sequences is most suitable.
• Different people experience different levels of effectiveness with
a treatment program. It may be that the feeling of efficacy of a
program will decrease if it has already been used for several
hours at different times.
This may happen because the body has become used to the pulse
intensity or the program sequence set. This may be avoided by
changing the intensity and the program from time to time.
WARNING
Only use the belt when all four pads are attached to the
electrodes to prevent unpleasant electric shocks. Check the
condition of the electrode pads and cables regularly.
• The unit switches off automatically on expiry of the preset
treatment time of 15, 30 or 60 minutes. The unit can also be
switched off manually at any time. In both cases the intensity
controllers,
15
and
9
, must be turned anti-clockwise until they
click into the OFF position and the display goes blank.
WARNING
To prevent unpleasant electric shocks, never remove the
treatment belt
4
from the skin whilst the unit is still
switched on. First turn the two intensity controllers,
15
and
9
, anti-clockwise until they click into the OFF position
and the display goes blank.
• Leave the pads on the electrodes on the belt. For safe storage,
place the plastic films marked with “on” back on the electrode
pads after each use. This will increase the service life of both
electrodes and pads.
Always check the unit and accessories each time before use to
prevent damage and defects:
1.
The battery has sufficient charge and is not corroded.
2.
All pads stick fast and centrally to the electrodes. They are not
damaged or dried out.
3.
The cables are not damaged and are in good condition.
4.
The contact connectors of the cables are properly and firmly
attached to the pushbutton contacts on the belt.
5.
The cables fit tightly into the connection sockets on the TENS unit.
The following table may help if a fault occurs despite these
precautions. Please contact your service centre if it is not possible
