When using the device for the first time, we recommend starting from the default Mode 1, which combines

the different frequencies. If you use one of the specific TENS or EMS modes, please refer to the following

for details.

USE AS TENS

The control unit includes the following TENS frequencies, 69Hz (Mode 2), 1.2 Hz (Mode

4), 100Hz (Modes 5 and 6), and 160Hz (Mode 8). For treatment, place the wrap and conductive silver pads

at the site of pain, and connect the device to the wrap.

For arthritis pain, inflammation of the joints, place the conductive silver pads on or near the area of

the arthritis pain. The TENS mode of the device generates electrical pulses that are sent through the

conductive silver pads for pain relief.

USE AS EMS

The control unit also includes the EMS frequencies, 12.5-55.6Hz (Mode 3) and 20Hz (Mode 7). For

treatment, place the wrap and conductive silver pads where you desired muscle firming and strengthening,

and connect the device to the wrap. Then select modes 3 or 7.

Recommended Practice for Both TENS and EMS:

Start from the lowest intensity and gradually adjust the intensity to a comfortable level at a scale from

from 1 to 20.

Good skin care is important for a comfortable use of device. Be sure the treatment site is clean of dirt and

body lotion.

20

CONDUCTIVE WRAP

The conductive wrap accessory is connected to the control unit through its magnentic connectors. The

wrap accessory holds the conductive silver pad material that will be in contact with the skin. The electrical

stimulation will be delivered to the body through these pads.
