1. Connect the cable to the electrodes before placing
them on the skin.
2. Plug the electrode cables into both channels.
Overview of the placement of the
electrodes/pads
Proper preparation of the skin that is covered by the
electrodes allows a better stimulation of the target tissue,
prolongs the life of the electrodes and reduces the risk of
skin irritation.
After connecting the cable to the stimulator, prepare your
skin at the spots where electrodes will be placed as follows:
1. Determine the spots where the electrodes are to be
placed.
2. Wash this area with mild soap and water (do not use
alcohol). Rinse and dry carefully.
3. Trim excess body hair in this area with a pair of scissors
(do not shave).
4. Optionally, apply skin lotion, to the area to supply
the skin with a protective layer. Treatment of the skin
with moisturising lotions or ointments beforehand is
not recommended as this considerably increases the
electrode wear and may cause unpleasant current
peaks. Apply, let dry and attach the electrode as
described in this manual. In this way you decrease
the risk of skin irritation and prolong the life of your
electrodes.
5. When you remove the electrodes, always pull them in
the direction of the hair growth.
6. It may be helpful to apply skin lotion to the area of the
electrode placement when you are not wearing the
electrodes.
