4.2 Key functions

Every time a key is pressed, this is acknowledged by a signal tone in order to
ensure that any unintentional pressing of a key is detected. This signal tone
cannot be switched off.
ON/OFF
(1) Hit briefly to switch on the device. If the key is held down for 10 seconds
when switching on, the unit automatically switches off again.
(2) Press once (= pause mode) to interrupt and continue stimulation treat-
ment.
(3) Hold ON/OFF key down (approx. 3 seconds) to switch off the device.
and
(1) Select (A) treatment programme, (B) treatment time and (C) frequency,
pulse width, number of cycles, ON/OFF time
(2) The DOWN key is used to reduce pulse intensity for all channels during
stimulation.
MENU
(1) Navigation between the submenus TENS, EMS and MASSAGE.
(2) Return to (A) programme selection window or (B) main menu.
ENTER
(1) Menu selection.
(2) To confirm a selection made with UP/ DOWN, apart from channel intensity.

5. Start-up

1. Remove the battery cover from the base of the monitor by
undoing the catch.
2. Insert three AA 1.5 V alkaline batteries. Make absolutely
sure that you insert the batteries with the correct polarity as
marked.
3. Replace the battery cover carefully.
4. Attach the connecting cable to the electrodes (Fig. 1).
i Note: The electrodes have a clip fastener to ensure easy
connection.
5. Insert the connecting cable connector into the socket at the
back of the device (Fig. 2).
6. Do not pull, twist or make any sharp kinks in the cables
(Fig. 3).

6. Programme overview

6.1 Basic information

The Digital TENS/EMS unit has a total 50 programmes:
• 20 TENS programmes
• 20 EMS programmes
• 10 MASSAGE programmes
With all programmes, you can set the length of application and (for each of
the four channels) pulse intensity separately.
Besides this, with TENS and EMS programmes 11-20, in order to physically
adapt the stimulation effect to the structure of the site of application, you can
also change both the pulse frequency, pulse width, ON and OFF times of the
individual cycles as well as the number of cycles.
Cycles are the different sequences making up the programmes. They auto-
matically run one after the other and increase the efficacy of stimulation on
different types of muscle fibre and combat premature muscle fatigue.
You will find the standard stimulation parameter settings and information on
placing the electrodes in the following programme charts for TENS, EMS and
MASSAGE.
