2.1 Simple quick guide for the self-application of TENS
Check and, if necessary, clean areas of skin for electrode placement In general, keep the
corresponding areas of skin dry, especially free from oil and cream.
Connect electrode cables to the electrodes. Red and white plugs have no signicance for
you, only for therapists and special applications.
Ax electrodes to the desired areas. Ensure there is full contact with the skin. The place-
ment suggestions (chapter 4 “Overview of electrode placement”) show you where you
should position the electrodes.
Ax the electrodes around the pain, “where it hurts”.
Insert the plugs of the electrode cables into the TENS device. The plugs can only be inserted
in one direction.
Switch device on with the
button. Select programme with the P button until the desired
programme number appears on the display. Please use programme 1 at the beginning.
Now start the application by pressing the left
button and then the right button. You can
press up until you feel a clearly perceptible and pleasant tingling sensation. This tingling may
become so clearly noticeable that you no longer perceive your actual pain so clearly in this
moment. Once the tingling becomes unpleasant and if your pain increases, make a slight
adjustment with the
button.
The treatment now runs automatically for 30 minutes. You can see on the display at any time
how long the stimulation will continue. The application then stops by itself.
Press the
button to stop the stimulation yourself. The device then stops the stimulation
immediately.
If you want to change the electrode placement, interrupt the stimulation and change the
position of the electrodes. Then restart the process by pressing the
button, as before,
until you once again feel a clearly perceptible tingling.
When the stimulation ends as programmed, you can restart it if you wish. If you want to
stop, turn the device o with the
button. Afterwards, you can remove the electrodes and
ax them to the lm again. Remove the plugs from the device and the electrodes and store
everything in the box provided.
