Electrodes' positioning and intensity levels
The electrodes have to be positioned to form a square over the painful zone
by using the channel 1 and 2 as shown above in Figure 1 (red or black up or
down are not important for the therapy purposes, follow the indications in
the Positions manual). The intensity should be adjusted to a level between
the thresholds of perception and pain: the maximum intensity level is the
moment in which the muscles surrounding the treated area begin to contract;
over this limit the stimulation does not become more effective, just more
irritating, so it is best to stop before that point.
