• Precaution: Do not apply stimulation in the
GB
vicinity of metal. Remove jewelry, body
piercings, buckles or any other removable
metallic product or device in the area of
stimulation. Never use the electrodes con-
tra-laterally, i.e. do not use two pins con-
nected to the same channel on opposite
segments of the body.
• Precaution: Never carry out an initial stim-
ulation session on a person who is stand-
ing. The first five minutes of stimulation
must always be performed on a person
who is sitting or lying down. In rare in-
stances, people of a nervous disposition
may experience a vasovagal reaction. This
reaction is connected with fear of the
muscle stimulation as well as surprise at
seeing one of their muscles contract with-
out having intentionally contracted it
themselves. A vasovagal reaction causes
heart to slow down and blood pressure to
drop, which can make you feel weak and
faint. If this does occur, stop the stimula-
tion and lie down with the legs raised until
the feeling of weakness disappears (5 to 10
minutes).
• Precaution: Sudden temperature changes
can cause condensation to build up inside
the –stimulator. To prevent this, allow it to
reach room temperature before use.
