CAUTION
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS REGARDING THE PADS
• Do not bend or fold because the pad may not function properly.
Place the pads onto the plastic film and then store into the sealed
package when not in use.
• Do not apply ointment or any solvent to the pads or to your skin
because it will disrupt the pads from functioning properly.
• The pads are already pre-gelled and will adhere to your skin.
• To avoid damage to the adhesive surface of the pads, put the pads
only on the skin or on the plastic film provided.
• Place the pads at least 1 ½” apart on your skin. The pads should
never touch each other.
• Always place clean pads in accordance with illustrations provided
(Refer to page 20).
• Make sure the components are connected well and the pads are
fixed on the part of the body you wish to treat or the therapy may
not be effective.
DO NOT USE YOUR PADS THIS WAY
• Pads should not be placed simultaneously on the calves of
both legs.
Pads should not touch each other when placed onto your skin.
• Do not place on your spine or backbone.
• Pad should not touch any metal object, such as a belt buckle or
necklace.
• Do not share pads with another person. This may cause a skin
irritation or infection. Pads are intended for use by one person.
• Do not place or relocate the pads while the device is on.
• Always turn the power off before removing or changing the pad
location.
• Do not leave pads attached to the skin after treatment.
CAUTION WHILE USING THE STIMULATOR
• If the stimulator is not functioning properly or you feel discomfort,
immediately stop using the device.
• Do not use for any other purpose except for what it is intended for.
• Do not insert the electrode plug into any place other than the jack on
the main unit.
• Do not mix Alkaline and Rechargeable/Alkaline batteries as this will
shorten the battery life.
• Do not pull on the electrode cord during treatment.
• Do not use the device while wearing electronic devices such as
watches as this may damage the device.
• Do not use near a cell phone as this may cause the stimulator to
malfunction.
• Do not bend or pull the end of the cord.
• When pulling out the cord from the device, hold the plug and pull.
7
• Replace the cord when broken or damaged.
• Do not throw the batteries into a re. The batteries may explode.
• Dispose of the device, batteries, and components according
to applicable legal regulations. Unlawful disposal may cause
environmental pollution.
• The size, shape and type of pads may affect the safety and
effectiveness of electrical stimulation.
• The electrical performance characteristics of pads may affect the
safety and effectiveness of electrical stimulation.
• Using pads that are smaller than the pads included with device or
incorrectly applied, could result in discomfort or skin burns.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
• Apply stimulation to only normal, intact, clean, dry, and healthy
skin.
• You may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to the
electrical stimulation or electrical conductive medium (gel).
• If you have suspected or diagnosed heart disease, you should
follow precautions recommended by your physician.
• If you have suspected or diagnosed epilepsy, you should follow
precautions recommended by your physician.
• Use caution if you have a tendency to bleed internally, such as
following an injury or fracture.
• Consult with your physician prior to using the device after a recent
surgical procedure, because stimulation may disrupt the healing
process.
• This stimulation should not be applied over the menstruating or
pregnant uterus.
• This stimulation should not be applied over areas of skin that lack
normal sensation.
Keep unit away from young children. The unit contains small pieces
that may be swallowed.
Keep unit out of the reach of young children. The electrode cord
can cause strangulation.
• Use this device only with the leads, electrodes, and accessories
recommended by the manufacturer.
Possible Adverse Reactions
• Some patients may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due
to the electrical stimulation or electrical conductive medium. The
irritation can usually be reduced by using an alternate conductive
medium, or alternate electrode placement.
• You should stop using the device and consult with your physician if
you experience adverse reactions from the device.
