Always pull the self-adhesive electrodes by the plaster and never by
the wires. The wires may break if subjected to too much mechanical
stress.
12. Stick the self-adhesive electrodes back onto the protective film and store
them in the re-sealable bag until the next treatment session.
13. Rub a little body lotion onto each point on the skin where the self-adhesi-
ve electrodes were fixed, if needed.
14. Put the Well TENS and the accessories back into the storage case
15. Store the Well TENS in a safe place out of the reach of children and away
from direct sunlight and damp until the next treatment session.
10. Setting up the Well TENS
10.1 Setting the operating parameters
We recommend that you consult a doctor or therapist with regard to the
setting of your treatment parameters, including pulse rate, pulse width and
pulse strength.
For the treatment to work successfully it is necessary for the patient to
experience a noticeable tingling feeling or vibration on the skin. If the success
of the treatment begins to wane after a time because the body accustoms itself
to the current settings, the doctor or therapist must re-check and re-set the
treatment parameters. In such a case it may be sensible also to change the
operating mode, i.e. select a modulated operating mode.
1. Open the faceplate.
2. Set the mode:
Move the sliding switch to select one of the three possible operating
modes:
