4. Place the new electrodes on your forearm as shown in the figure
below.
5. Insert the lead wire in Channel 1.
6. Turn your device on.
7. Select a TENS knee program. This is a continuous treatment program.
8. Slowly increase the amplitude (intensity) until you can feel it. If you
do not get any sensation, lower the amplitude (intensity) to zero
and rotate the lead wire 90 degrees. Slowly increase the amplitude
(intensity).
9. If there is no sensation, call the repair department.

need to reposition the electrodes or contact your clinician.
