Precautions
• The condition of your electrode pads may affect
the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
Take the following into account:
1. If the electrode pads are too small or
not correctly applied, this may result in
discomfort or skin burns.
2. If you do not know if the electrode pads
can be used with the TENS unit, contact
Customer Support (see page 39).
• Do not use in places with ammable or explosive
gases.
• The TENS unit is not effective for pain of central
origin, including headaches.
• The TENS unit is not a substitute for pain
medications and other pain management
therapies.
• The TENS unit has no curative benets.
• The TENS unit treatment may not be effective
for everyone. Consult your physician or
healthcare professional to nd out if TENS will
work for you.
• The long-term effects of electrical stimulation
are unknown.
• Because the effects of electrical stimulation on
the brain are unknown, do not use the TENS unit

gel may cause skin irritation or hypersensitivity.
The irritation can usually be reduced by
alternative pad placement.
