SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS How the device works TENS TENS is a non-invasive pain relief method. Healthcare professionals, such as chiropractors, physicians and physiotherapists, often use this method.TENS relieves pain in a way similar to rubbing the pain away. By rubbing, you cause a different skin sensation to mask pain.The device generates electrical pulses. Selfadhesive electrodes are placed on the skin close to the area of pain. The device delivers pulses across the skin through these electrodes.This activates the underlying sensory nerves.You can choose 15 pre-set TENS programs with different pulse settings. In each program, you can adjust the intensity of the pulse. 14 ENGLISH EMS EMS is a method for muscle conditioning. It uses a device and electrodes placed on the skin. The electrodes are placed near the muscle to be stimulated. The device generates electrical pulses and passes these pulses across the surface of the skin to activate the underlying motor nerves. This makes the muscle contract. Contraction helps to condition the muscle. You can choose from 5 pre-set EMS programs. In each program, you can adjust the intensity of the pulse. Pre-set programs The device comes with 15 pre-set programs for TENS and 5 pre-set programs for EMS. The order of the programs in the list does not mean that certain programs are more suitable for specific conditions than others. As the effect of a treatment program may strongly differ from person to person, we advise you to try out different treatment programs to find out which one works best for you. Program overview Conventional TENS programs Conventional TENS programs deliver high-frequency stimulation.Their working mechanism is based on the Gate Control Theory.This theory states that stimulation blocks the transmission of pain signals. It is similar to rubbing away pain. Most people use conventional TENS for 30 minutes per session. You can use it as often and as long as it feels comfortable.You will notice the effect most clearly during use.The effect generally wears off rather quickly after use. Adjust the intensity so that you clearly feel the pulses.Treatment must not feel unpleasant or painful. ENGLISH 15 Name of Program description conventional TENS program Suggested treatment time Conventional May give you a continuous tingling stimulation No limit Thorough stimulus May give you a more thorough stimulating sensation No limit Pre-activity May give you a more local and soft stimulating sensation No limit Soft stimulus May give you a softer stimulating sensation, e.g. for sensitive body parts No limit Deep stimulus May give you a deeper stimulating sensation No limit Radiating pulse May give you a more radiating stimulation sensation No limit Burst TENS programs Burst TENS uses high-frequency stimulation that comes in trains of pulses. This triggers the release of endorphins, which are painkillers produced by the body. You can use burst TENS for 30 minutes several times a day. Adjust the intensity of the burst program so that you feel the pulses strongly. The sensation can be slightly unpleasant. Set the intensity to a level that causes visible muscle contractions in the treatment area. These contractions are not harmful. If you find them too uncomfortable, decrease the intensity, choose a different program, or move the electrodes to a different place. Use burst TENS programs while sitting or lying. Burst TENS can lead to muscle contraction in the treatment area. 16 ENGLISH Name of burst TENS program Program description Suggested treatment time Continuous burst May give you a pulsing burst stimulation to release endorphins in your body 30 min.* Slow kneading May give you a slower and massaging burst stimulation to release endorphins 30 min.* Mild kneading May give you a milder burst stimulation to release endorphins in your body 30 min.* Deep kneading May give you a more local and deeper burst stimulation to release endorphins in your body 30 min.* Diffuse burst May give you a more diffused burst stimulation to release endorphins in your body 30 min.* * optionally multiple times a day, can be changed in the app Frequency-modulated TENS programs Frequency-modulated TENS uses pulses that vary from high frequency to low frequency. In some cases, this program may be more comfortable or effective than the other programs. You can use frequencymodulated TENS for 30 minutes several times a day. ENGLISH 17 Name of freq. mod. TENS program Program description Suggested treatment time Mixed frequency May give you a flowing stimulation sensation 30 min.* Pulsing massage May give you a more pulsing stimulation sensation 30 min.* Deep massage May give you a slower and deeper flowing sensation 30 min.* Gentle massage May give you a mild flowing stimulation sensation 30 min.* * optionally multiple times a day, can be changed in the app Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) programs EMS uses pulses to evoke muscle contraction. This may help to condition muscles. Use EMS only on healthy, uninjured muscles. Apply EMS programs while sitting or lying, as they result in muscle contraction. EMS may feel unusual to new users. We advise new users to start at a low intensity to get used to the sensation. EMS should always feel comfortable. Muscle contractions must not be tiring. If you apply EMS after exercising, use a lower setting to avoid muscle fatigue. 18 ENGLISH Name of EMS program Program description Suggested treatment time Muscle stimulation pulse May give you a nice soothing sensation 30 min.* Muscle stimulation flow May give you a comfortable tingling sensation 20 min.* Muscle stimulation wave May give you a mild contracting and relaxing sensation 30 min.* Muscle stimulation flux May give you an energizing muscle sensation 25 min.* Muscle stimulation bounce May give you a rhythmically relaxing sensation 20 min.* * optionally multiple times a day, can be changed in the app Signals on the device Battery indicator -- It is solid orange during charging and when the rechargeable battery is low. -- It is solid green when the device is connected to an electrical outlet. -- It is also solid green when the rechargeable battery is fully charged.

Using the device Use this device for its intended household use as described in this user manual. Note: It is important to perform the steps in the order described in this chapter. Attaching the electrodes and the device 1 Make sure that the skin you want to place the electrodes on looks healthy and is free from wounds or rashes. For TENS: Do not place the electrodes on red or inflamed skin and skin with open wounds, cancerous lesions or rashes. For EMS: Only place the electrodes on healthy, uninjured muscles. 2 Clean the skin with a moist cloth and dry it thoroughly. The skin you want to place the electrodes on must be dry, clean and free from cream or lotion. ENGLISH 21 Note: Dirt, grease or particles left on the skin may lodge themselves in the hydrogel of the electrodes.This has an adverse effect on the adhesive power of the electrodes. 3 Take the electrodes from the plastic bag and check them for damage and signs of wear. Caution: Do not use electrodes whose use-by date has expired. The use-by date is shown on the resealable plastic bag. Note: Replace the electrodes when they are damaged or dirty, when they have lost their adhesive power or when stimulation becomes uncomfortable, i.e. when you experience an unpleasant stinging or biting sensation. 4 Pull the electrode off the liner and place it on the skin at the place you want to treat. See section ‘Electrode placement’ and the placement guide. 5 Place the second electrode on the body part you want to treat. Note: Always place the electrodes on the skin before you connect the device. Note: Do not place the electrodes on top of each other or so close to each other that they touch each other. 22 ENGLISH 6 Attach the device to the electrodes. The device units have magnets in the center to ensure easy connection to the metal connectors of the electrodes. When the device units lock onto the electrodes properly, you hear a click. Note:You can wear the electrodes with the device units attached to them under your clothes, also during treatment. Note: Consult the electrode placement guide for the recommended position for the electrodes during treatment.This is only a recommendation.You can perform all activities allowed as intended use and not warned against in chapter ‘Important safeguards’ when you wear the device on your body.You can also continue to wear the device on your body in between treatments. Electrode placement If you want the best results from using this device, make sure that you place the electrodes correctly. Do not use the device on skin that lacks normal sensation.You may have to move the electrodes a few times to find the optimal place. In some cases, it can be helpful to mark the spot. At the back of this user manual, you find the electrode placement guides for TENS and EMS.They give suggestions for places where you can attach the electrodes. Place the electrodes on or near the treatment area.You may need assistance when you want to attach electrodes to hard-to-reach spots. Use of the device may lead to visible muscle contractions, especially in burst TENS programs (programs 7 to 11). These contractions are not harmful. If they are uncomfortable, move the electrodes to a different place. Be aware that muscle contraction is a desired effect in EMS programs (programs 16 to 20). If no contraction occurs in an EMS program, the electrode is not placed correctly, or the intensity is too low.
