frequency and a relatively high pulse
width. This is thought to produce a
better analgesic effect and could be
used to relieve both acute and chronic
pain.
* F - The user increases the strength to the
desired level in the first 7 seconds. The
strength drops down 90% over a period of
6 seconds and then gradually starts
increasing again to the original setting over
a period of 6 seconds.
* G - The frequency starts at 2 Hz and after
every 3 minutes’ shifts to the next
frequency setting. After 21 minutes, it
returns back to 2 Hz and starts the cycle
over again.

7. PROGRAMMES
7.1. PRESET PROGRAMMES
There is not one programme for a
particular condition, and the best choice
varies from one person to another, even
if they have the same type of pain.
Each user needs to select both the
programme and the positioning of the
electrode pads that is best for them.
You may need to try a few
positions/programmes before finding
the one that suits you.
If you are using TENS for the first time,
it is recommended that you start with
programme A, which gives the gentlest
stimulation.
The
perfect TENS

relief programmes.
