TROUBLE SHOOTING:
If the EMS Unit does not work or turn on:
Disconnect the power supply from the wall outlet and check the fuse in the back of the unit.
Replace the fuse with an exact duplicate (available at most electronic stores) and try turning the
unit on again. Be sure that the Russian Stim and Wave switch are both off (down) before turning
on.
Please note: Even though a fuse may look okay, it may not be.
If your unit continually burns fuses:
Disconnect the wires, replace the fuse, turn off Russian Stim, turn off Wave switch and try
turning on the unit. If the power comes on, make sure all the intensity controls are turned down
and reconnect the lead wires. If the power light still does not come on, please contact
Vitalityweb for troubleshooting at 800-796-9656.
Please note: Do not put the Russian Stimultion and Wave switches up (on) at the same time.
Russian is an independent mode and having both switches in the on position will blow a fuse.
If the EMS Unit turns on but does not function properly:
1. Check all control settings. Are the electrodes in the proper position?
2. Check lead wires. Make sure all connectors are firmly seated.
3. Make sure the electrode pads have a good connection to your skin. If using the rubber
electrodes, be sure to use water or a conductive gel to maintain the contact between your
skin and the electrode pad.
4. Replace the lead wire cord set with another lead to check for broken wires.
If one channel is on and can not be turned off:
Disconnect and do not use. Contact Vitaltiyweb to have the unit repaired immediately.
If you feel a sharp tingling sensation when stimulating:
Make sure you have a good connection between your skin and the electrode pad. When using
the rubber pads, be sure to use a conductive agent such as water or a conductive gel between
your skin and the electrode pads. Make sure the pads are located over the muscle belly (thick
areas of muscle). Try repositioning the electrode pads.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Neuromuscular stimulation is achieved by sending small electrical impulses through the skin to
the underlying motor units (nerves and muscles) to create an involuntary muscle contraction.
Involuntary muscle contractions by electronic muscle stimulation can help to improve and
maintain muscle tone without physical activity. This passive exercise can also be used for
therapeutic treatment to minimize the degeneration that occurs following partial denervation or
immobilization The electrical impulses are “ramped” (slow, gradual and comfortable muscle
contraction) so that they closely emulate natural muscle contractions.
