Keylock
Locks the buttons to avoid them being pressed unintentionally.
(1) To activate the keylock, hold down the button until the
symbol is visible in the display (approx. 3 seconds).
(2) To deactivate the keylock, hold down the button until the
symbol disappears from the display (approx. 3 seconds).
5. Start-up
1. Remove the belt clip from the machine, if attached.
2. Press the battery compartment cover on the rear of
the device and slide it downwards.
3. Insert three AAA 1.5 V alkaline batteries. Make abso-
lutely sure that you insert the batteries with the cor-
rect polarity as marked.
4. Replace the battery cover carefully (Fig. 1).
5. Reattach the belt clip, if required.
6. Attach the connecting cable to the electrodes (Fig. 2).
The electrodes have a clip fastener to ensure
easy connection.
7. Guide the connection cable plugs into the socket on
the top of the device (Fig. 3).
8. Do not pull, twist or make any sharp kinks in the ca-
bles (Fig. 4).
Please note that when the battery is replaced or
removed, all settings are restored to the factory
default settings.
6. Programme overview
6.1 Basic information
The Digital EMS/TENS unit has a total 50 programmes:
• 10 TENS programmes
• 30 EMS programmes
• 10 MASSAGE programmes
In all programs you can set the impulse intensity of both channels indi-
vidually.
You can also set various parameters in the TENS programs 8 –10 and
the EMS programs 28 – 30 to adjust the stimulating effect to the ap-
plication area.
6.2 Information on placing the electrodes
For the desired success of any stimulation application, it is important
that electrodes are placed sensibly.
We advise you to coordinate with your doctor regarding the best elec-
trode positions for your intended field of application.
The electrode positions suggested inside the cover (Figs. 1– 28) serve
as a guide. The following applies when choosing electrode positions:
Electrode distance
The greater the electrode distance which is selected, the greater will be
the volume of tissue that is stimulated. This applies to the area and the
depth of the tissue volume. At the same time, however, the strength
of tissue stimulation decreases as the electrode distance becomes
greater, which means that, if a greater electrode distance is chosen,
a greater volume is stimulated, but stimulation is weaker. To increase
stimulation, pulse intensity must then be increased.
The following guideline holds when selecting electrode distances:
• most reasonable distance: approx. 5 – 15 cm,
• below 5 cm, it is mainly surface structures which are strongly stimu-
lated,
• over 15 cm, large-area and deep structures are stimulated very
weakly.
Electrode relationship to muscle fibre orientation
Choice of current flow direction must be adapted to
the muscle fibre orientation according to the desired
muscle layer. If surface muscles are to be reached,
the electrodes must be placed parallel to the fibre
orientation (A – B / C – D). If deep tissue layers are to
be reached, the electrodes must be placed cross-
wise to the fibre orientation. The latter arrangement
can, for example, be achieved via the cross electrode arrangement,
e.g. A – D / B – C.
