3. WHAT’S IN THE BOX?
When you open the box your
mamaTENS
and its
accessories are contained within a white leatherette
pouch, ideal for putting into your hospital bag.
3.1 CONTENTS
Inside the pouch you will find:
• Your
mamaTENS
unit
• Two sets of batteries (Rental units
will have one set already inserted)
• Neck cord
• Handy belt clip
• Electrode pads designed specifically for use with your
mamaTENS
• This instruction manual
Before using your mamaTENS, please read this manual
thoroughly, especially the safety notes and precautions.
3.2 TRIAL RUN
4. SETTING UP AND USING YOUR mamaTENS
The curved green button to the left of the
machine is clearly marked ‘on’ and ‘off’ whilst
the curved green button to the right of the
machine is marked with arrows to increase
or decrease the intensity as desired.
Intensity cannot be adjusted unless the
electrode pads are properly attached.
In the centre of the panel are two
yellow buttons.
The top button says ‘Prog’ and is used to
select from three preset programmes, one
for each stage of labour.
The bottom button says ‘Lock’. Holding
this button down for three seconds when
intensity is more than zero locks the
controls: this avoids any accidental changes
of intensity.
On the side of the unit is the green ‘Boost’
button. Its action depends upon the
programme selected.
We recommend that all mums-to-be
familiarise themselves with
the unit prior to the due date for added peace of mind.
