• If you use an insulin pump
• If you have a high temperature (e.g. > 39°C)
• If you have a known or acute cardiac arrhythmia, or disorders of
the heart's impulse and conduction system
• If you suffer from a seizure disorder (e.g. epilepsy)
• If you are pregnant
• If you have cancer
• After an operation, if strong muscle contractions could affect the
healing process
• The device must never be used near to the heart.
The stimulation electrodes must not be placed on
any part of the front ribcage (where the ribs and
breastbone are located), especially not on the
two large pectorals. this can increase the risk of
ventricular fibrillation and induce cardiac arrest.
• On the skeletal skull structure, or around the mouth, throat or
larynx
• In the neck/carotid artery area
• In the genital area
• On acutely or chronically diseased (injured or irritated) skin (e.g.
inflamed skin – whether painful or not, reddened skin, rashes,
e.g. allergies, burns, bruises, swellings, both open and healing
wounds, and post-operative scars where the healing process
could be affected)
• In humid environments (e.g. in the bathroom) or when bathing or
showering
• Do not use after consuming alcohol
• If connected to a high-frequency surgical device
• In the case of acute or chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal
tract
• The stimulation should not be applied across or through the head,
directly on the eyes, covering the mouth, on the front of the neck,
(especially the carotid sinus), or from electrodes placed on the
chest and the upper back or crossing over the heart.
Before using the device, consult your doctor if any of the

IMPORTANT!

Only use digital EMS/TENS units:
• On people
• For the intended purpose and as specified in these instructions
for use. Improper use can be dangerous.
• For external use
• With the original accessories supplied, which can be re-ordered.
Failure to do so invalidates the warranty.
PRECAUTIONS:
• Always pull firmly on electrodes to remove them from the skin to
prevent injuries in the unusual case of highly sensitive skin.
• Keep the device away from sources of heat and do not use it in
close proximity (approx. 1 m) to shortwave or microwave devices
(e.g. mobile phones), as doing so can result in unpleasant current
peaks.
• Do not expose the device to direct sunlight or high temperatures.
• Protect the device from dust, dirt and humidity.
• Never immerse the device in water or other liquids.
• The device is suitable for self-treatment.
