Decide on which area of the body you would like to exercise.  We recommend starting on 
your bicep just so you get acclimated to the feeling of EMS; it is a unique sensation.  For tips 
on electrodes placement, please see our chart on pages 10 and 11 of this manual.  Take the 2x 
electrodes that are plugged into Channel 1 and place them on the area you want to exercise.  
Please note that 2x electrodes HAVE to be connected to the red and black lead wires, the 
electrodes will not stimulate if you only have 1x electrode connected.  Next, do the same 
thing with the 2x electrodes that are connected to the cable plugged into Channel 2. 

 

STEP 6: 

The cable that is plugged into Channel 1 only controls those 2x electrodes attached to that 
cable, so you can have different intensities on different electrodes.  Now make sure that the 
intensity knobs on Channel 1 and 2 are turned all the way to the left, this means they are 
“Clicked” off. Press the red button to activate and turn on the machine and you will see two 
red lights come on, now the machine is active and ready to go. When you turn them on you 
will hear a short "click" sound and this means you are  now Intensity ON at level one.   

STEP 7: 

Slowly turn the Intensity Knob on Channel 1 to the right and wait for the click, you are now 
stimming.  The more you turn the knob to the right the higher the intensity gets, find a level 
that is comfortable for you and then do the same for Channel 2. As you begin work the 
muscle groups for no longer than 15 minutes and then stops for the day.  Please note, turn the 
intensity knobs to off and power the machine itself off before you remove the electrodes, if 
you touch the electrodes while the machine is on you can sting your fingers.  Take care to not 
touch the bottoms of the electrodes and always store them on the clear sheet they came on as 
this will prolong the life of them.  Store everything in a safe place at a standard room 
temperature and your PowerStim 15R will last a lifetime.  Welcome to the world of 
Electronic Muscle Stimulation.
