8. Cleaning and storage
Adhesive electrodes
• To ensure that the adhesive electrodes remain adhesive for as
long as possible, clean them carefully with a damp, lint-free cloth
or clean the underside of the electrodes under lukewarm running
water and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
Before cleaning with water, remove the connection cables
from the electrodes.
• Following treatment, stick the electrodes back onto the carrier
foil.
Cleaning the arm and leg cuffs
• Only clean the arm and leg cuffs by hand.
Cleaning the device
• Clean the device after use with a soft, slightly damp cloth. If it is
very dirty, you can also moisten the cloth with a mild soapy solu-
tion.
• Do not use any chemical or abrasive cleaning agents for cleaning.
Ensure that no water enters the device.
Storage
• Do not make sharp bends in the connection cables or the elec-
trodes.
• Disconnect the connection cables from the electrodes.
• After use, stick the electrodes back onto the carrier foil.
• Store the device in a cool, well-ventilated space.
• Never place any heavy objects on the device.
• Allow the arm and leg cuffs to dry completely before storing them
away.
9. Disposal

10. Problems/solutions
The device does not switch on when the ON/OFF button is
pressed. How to proceed:
(1) Make sure that the battery is charged.
(2) Contact Customer Services.
The electrodes do not stick to the body. How to proceed:
(1) Clean the adhesive surface of the electrodes using a damp, lint-
free cloth. Replace the electrodes if they still do not stick secure-
ly.
(2) Clean the skin prior to any application; do not use skincare lo-
tions or oils prior to treatment. Shaving may increase the life of
electrodes.
There is no noticeable stimulation. How to proceed:
(1) Press the OK button to interrupt the program. Check that the
connection cables are correctly connected to the electrodes.
Ensure that the electrodes are in firm contact with the treatment
area. If you are using the arm and leg cuffs, ensure that they have
been moistened with water.
(2) Ensure the connection plug is firmly connected to the device.
(3) Check electrode positions and ensure that the adhesive elec-
trodes do not overlap.
(4) Gradually increase the impulse intensity.
