13. With the mode button then select the
mode you wish to use. There are five
modes to choose from.-
Constant
: The
pulses are steady and continuous;
Burst 1
The pulses are off and on in
regular cycles resembling massage;
Burst 11
The pulses are off and on in
regular cycles in a tapping rhythm.
Width modulation
; Pulse width
modulates to create a gentle ebbing
and flowing effect.
Frequency
modulation
; Pulse rate quickens and
then slows down creating a pleasant
tingling sensation.
14. Varying the modes helps avoid or
delay your body becoming used to
any particular setting. Your medical
adviser will be pleased to assist you
with electrode positions and settings.
Continue stimulating for as long as
necessary but preferably for no
less than 30 minutes unless you
experience discomfort.
15. Some people achieve pain relief after a
short period, while others may require
to use their TENS for longer.
16. If you stimulate for a number of hours
check there is sufficient gel on carbon
rubber electrodes. If using self-
adhesive electrodes check they have
not dried out. If this happens, dampen
slightly. If electrodes dry out this can
cause minor skin irritation.
17. The timer allows you to pre-set your
Profile TENS to switch off automatically
and the LCD display will keep you
informed about the amount of time
your treatment still has to run.
18. When you have finished stimulating,
turn the machine off by pressing the
On/Off button (see diagram on page 7).
19. Ensure that the unit is switched off before
removing the leads. Do not pull the
wires. Remove leads by holding the jack
plug between the forefinger and thumb.
