Warnings and precautions
• An effective session should not cause discomfort.
• For first time users, muscle stimulation can be an unusual sensation.
We recommend that you begin in a seated position with low stimulation intensity
settings to familiarize yourself with the sensation before progressing to higher
intensity settings.
• The leads and pads must not be connected to other objects.
• Do not over exert yourself while using muscle stimulation. Any workout should be
at a comfortable level for you.
• Do not place pads over jewelry or body piercings.
Use Caution and consult your Physician before using System if any of the
following conditions apply to you :
• You have any serious illness or injury not mentioned in this guide.
• You have recently undergone a surgical procedure.
• You take insulin for diabetes.
• You use the unit as part of a rehabilitation program.
• If you have suspected or diagnosed heart problem.
• If you have suspected or diagnosed epilepsy.
• If you have a tendency to bleed internally following an injury.
• If you recently had surgery, or have ever had surgery on your back.
• If areas of skin lack normal sensations, such as skin that tingles or is numb.
• During menstruation or during pregnancy.
• Some people may feel skin irritation or experience a very sensitive feeling in the
skin due to electrical stimulation. If this occurs, stop using your System and consult
your Physician.
• If skin under one of more pads feels irritated after using the stimulator for a long
period of time, use the stimulator for a shorter period of time.
• Minor redness at stimulation placement is a normal skin reaction. It is not
considered as skin irritation, and it will normally disappear within 30 minutes after
the electrodes are removed. If the redness does not disappear after 30 minutes
from the removal of electrodes, do not use the stimulator again until after the
excessive redness has disappeared.
