• Protect the device from dust, dirt and humidity.
• Never immerse the device in water or other liquids.
• The device is suitable for self-treatment.
• For hygiene reasons, the electrodes may only be used on one person.
• If the device does not work properly, or you feel unwell or experience
pain, stop using it immediately.
• Switch off the unit or the respective channel first before removing or
relocating electrodes to prevent unintentional stimulation.
• Do not modify electrodes (e.g. by cutting them). This increases the
current intensity, which is potentially hazardous (max. recommended
output value for the electrodes is 9 mA/cm², an effective current in-
tensity beyond 2 mA/cm² requires increased awareness).
• Do not use the device whilst asleep, driving a vehicle or operating
machinery.
• Do not use whilst undertaking any activity where an unexpected reac-
tion (e.g. strong muscle contractions even at low intensity) could be
dangerous.
• Ensure that no metallic objects (e.g. belt buckles or necklaces) come
into contact with the electrodes during stimulation. If you are wearing
jewellery or have piercings in the area to be treated (e.g. a navel pierc-
ing), these must be removed before using the device. Failure to do so
could result in spot burns.
• Keep the device away from children.
• Make sure not to confuse the electrode cables including contacts
with your headphones or other devices and do not connect the elec-
trodes to other devices.
• Do not use the device whilst using other devices that transmit electri-
cal impulses into your body.
• Do not use in the vicinity of highly flammable substances, gases or
explosives.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries and always use the same battery
types.
• During the initial few minutes, use the device while sitting or lying
down to minimise the risk of injuries as a consequence of isolated
cases of vagal responses (feeling of faintness). If you feel faint, im-
mediately switch off the device, lie down and support the legs in an
elevated position (approx. 5 – 10 min).
• Treatment of the skin with moisturising lotions or ointments before-
hand is not recommended as this considerably increases the elec-
trode wear and may cause unpleasant current peaks.
• This device is not intended for use by children or people with re-
stricted physical, sensory (e.g. reduced sensitivity to pain) or mental
skills or a lack of experience and/or lack of knowledge, unless they
are supervised by a person who is responsible for their safety or are
instructed by such a person in how to use the device.
• If the adhesive capability of the adhesive electrodes decreases,
please replace them immediately. Only use the device again with new
adhesive electrodes. Otherwise the unequal adhesion of the adhesive
electrodes may lead to skin injuries. Replace the electrodes with new
ones after having used them 20 times at the latest.
Damage
• If the device is damaged, do not use it and contact your retailer or the
specified Customer Services address.
• In order to perform the effectiveness of function by the device, do not
drop the device or disassemble the device.
• Check the device for signs of wear and tear or damage. If there are
such signs of wear and tear or damage or if the device was used
improperly, it must be returned to the manufacturer or retailer before
further use.
• Switch the device off immediately if it is faulty or not working properly.
• Do not attempt to open and/or repair the device yourself. Repairs
may only be carried out by Customer Services or authorised retailers.
Failure to comply will result in voiding of the warranty.
• The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from improper or
careless use.
Notes on handling batteries
• If your skin or eyes come into contact with battery fluid, rinse the
affected areas with water and seek medical assistance.
