Impulse width
Indicates the duration of an individual impulse in microseconds. The impulse width therefore determines,
among other things, the penetration of the electricity; larger muscle masses usually require larger impulse
widths.
Impulse intensity
Setting the intensity levels depends on the individual sensitivity of each user and is determined by a variety of
variables, such as site of application, blood circulation to the skin, skin thickness, and the quality of the electrode
contact. The setting used should be effective but should never cause pain at the site of application. While a
gentle tingling indicates sufficient stimulation energy levels, any setting that causes pain should be avoided. Longer applications
may require readjustments due to the adjustment processes over time at the application site.
Cycled impulse parameter variation
In many cases, it is necessary to cover the overall tissue structure at the site of application by applying several impulse parameters.
In the digital EMS/TENS unit, this is achieved by the provided programs that automatically make a cyclical impulse parameter
change. This also prevents individual muscle groups at the site of application being affected by fatigue.
This digital EMS/TENS unit provides sensible default current parameter settings. With this, you can change the impulse intensity at
any time during use. For six programs, you can also set various parameters for stimulation yourself.
13. Care and Maintenance
Adhesive electrodes
• To maximize the life of the electrode adhesive, clean them carefully with a damp, lint-free cloth or clean the underside of the
electrodes under warm running water and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
• Before cleaning with water, remove the connection cables from the electrodes.
• Reapply the electrodes to the carrier foil following treatment.
Cleaning the device
• Shut the device off before cleaning.
• Remove the batteries from the device before cleaning.
• Clean the device after use with a soft, slightly damp cloth. If it is very dirty, you can also moisten the cloth with a mild soapy
solution.
• Do not use any chemical or abrasive cleaning agents.
