WARNING!
Do not apply the electrodes to the front wall of the chest, i.e. do not massage
the large left and right pectoral muscles.

The useful positioning of electrodes is fundamental to the intended success of
positioning
electrostimulation applications.
We recommend that you consult your doctor to establish the ideal electrode
positions for your intended application area.
The figure on the display is intended as an initial aid to help you position
the electrodes.
The following applies to the selection of electrode positions:
Electrode spacing
The greater the distance between electrodes, the larger the stimulated tissue
volume. This applies to the area and depth of the tissue volume. At the same
time, however, the stimulation intensity applied to the tissue decreases with
more distance between electrodes. As a result, greater distances between
electrodes mean a larger tissue volume is stimulated, but less intensively. As
such, you must increase the pulse intensity to boost stimulation in this case.

The following guidelines apply when choosing the electrode distances:
• effective spacing: approx. 5-15 cm
• with spacing of less than 5 cm, the device will primarily apply strong stim-
• with spacing in excess of 15 cm, large areas and deep structures will be
Relationship between electrodes and muscle fibre structures
Adapt the current flow direction to the fibre structure of the muscle, accord-
ing to the muscle layer you would like to treat. If you are targeting superficial
muscles, position the electrodes parallel to the fibre structure (A – B / C – D)
and if you are targeting deeper layers of tissue, position the electrodes across
the fibre structure. You can do this by positioning electrodes as crosses (i.e.
diagonally), such as A – D / B – C.
