Using your Smart TENS
The Smart TENS has 4 TENS modes. Each has been
designed to provide a different sensation.
You can use any of the TENS modes to treat your pain. The
table below sets out a brief description of the sensation
each mode provides:
To commence treatment
1.
Carefully peel the electrodes from the plastic backing,
using your forefinger and thumb. Place on you body as
shown on the diagrams found in your Easy Guide to
TENS Pain Relief.
2. Switch the unit on by pressing the On/Off Button.
Your unit will automatically start up in the Constant
mode the first time you use it.
3. Begin by pressing the CH1+ key. Each time you press
this key, a small ‘half-moon’ shape will appear on the
screen increasing in number and size as the intensity is
increased.
4. You will begin to feel a tingling sensation. Repeat step
3 with the CH2+ key. You will now feel a sensation in
both sets of pads.
Description
The pulses are continuous. This will feel
like a tingly sensation and is based on
the Gate Control Theory. Please refer to
page 3 of the accompanying book “ An
Easy Guide to TENS Pain Relief ”, for a
full explanation.
The pulses are off and on in a regular
cycle, i.e. the signal from the unit is
emitted in bursts. This will feel like a
heart beat, and is based on the
Acupuncture like TENS or Endorphin
Release Theory. (see page 3 of
“An Easy Guide to TENS Pain Relief ”).
The pulse decreases and then increases
in regular cycles creating a massaging
sensation.
This is a mixed setting – 3 seconds of
Constant and 3 seconds of Burst as
described above – this cycle is repeated
