Connect the two electrodes to channel A and slowly turn up the channel A intensity dial. As the muscle starts to contract
and relax you will be the best judge of electrode placement. If the target muscle is contracting well; then your placement is
good. If the muscle is not contracting well or at all then simply repeat the process moving the electrodes until you get the
target muscle to contract. Even very small adjustments (as little as an inch) in electrode placement can make a signicant
difference in the strength of the contractions. These small adjustments can also have a signicant effect on which muscles
are being activated.
Next you can follow this same procedure with the two electrodes attached to channel B.
Note that depending on electrode locations you may contract additional muscles beyond your target; this will only improve
the results. The benets will be regional, but focused on the muscles that are actually contracting the most.
The following diagrams show some common and popular pad placement locations. You’ll notice that sometimes one of
the Marc Pro Plus channels is used to focus intensely on just one muscle, and in other cases one of the Marc Pro Plus
channels is used to activate numerous muscles at the same time. For some focusing on small specic areas is needed to
obtain the desired results; while other times excellent results and efciency can be obtained by stimulating multiple muscle
areas at the same time.
Remember that these diagrams are just examples and general guidelines for electrode placement. The ideal electrode
placement will take into account exactly what muscles you are trying to help and how you feel when the device is used.
