Introduction
Thank you for buying your Kinetik TENS Pain Reliever, a safe drug free way to relieve every day
and long term pain. Multiple stimulation and intensity settings allow you to customise your
treatment for different parts of the body and levels of pain.
Why consider digital pain relief?
Pain is a warning signal; we need these signals to tell us that something may be wrong with our
body. Without it, we may not know that parts of our body might be damaged, thereby damaging
them further. However, once we have identified damage, pain serves little purpose. In the case
of chronic, regular pain it can significantly interfere with daily activities and the quality of life.
TENS transmits harmless electrical signals through 4 pads direct to the site of pain, blocking the
pain signals and stimulating endorphins – the body’s own natural painkillers.
• Simple – easy to use, lightweight and portable.
• Customisable – multiple stimulation and intensity settings.
• Effective – recommend by doctors and physiotherapists.
• Safe – drug free relief which can be used alongside medication if required.
Before you start, it is important that you read this instruction booklet carefully.
Please keep it in a safe place in case you need to refer back to it at a later date.
If you have any concerns about your pain symptoms, we recommend you contact your doctor.

General Warnings and Safety
(1) to consult with your physician before using this device. The simulation with the device may:
i. cause lethal rhythm disturbances to the heart in susceptible individuals, and,
ii. disrupt the healing process after a recent surgical procedure;
(2) that the device is not effective for pain of central origin, including headache;
(3) that the device is not a substitute for pain medications and other pain management therapies;
(4) that the device has no curative value;
(5) that the device is a symptomatic treatment and, as such, suppresses the sensation of pain that would
otherwise serve as a protective mechanism;
(6) that the long-term effects of electrical stimulation are unknown;
(7) that the user may experience skin irritation, burns or hypersensitivity due to the electrical stimulation or
electrical conductive medium;
(8) if the user has suspected or diagnosed epilepsy, the user should follow precautions recommended by his
or her physician;
(9) to use caution if the user has a tendency to bleed internally, such as following an injury or fracture;
(10) use caution if stimulation is applied over the menstruating uterus;
(11) use caution if stimulation is applied over areas of skin that lack normal sensation;
(12) stop using the device if the device does not provide pain relief; and,
(13) use this device only with the leads, electrodes, and accessories that the manufacturer recommends.
Medical Electrical Equipment needs special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and

Using your TENS Pain Reliever
1. Make sure the unit is switched off.
2. Attach the gel pads to the output cables as above and insert into the respective sockets, channel A and
channel B.
3. Attach the gel pads to the area of pain. Please revert to the ‘Positions for use’ (Gel Pad Positioning)
section on page 14.
4. Turn on the device using the ON/OFF switch and the letter "A" will flash on the display, indicating that
the left output (channel A) can be adjusted. Press the "+" and "-" buttons to increase and decrease the
intensity of channel A.
5. To adjust channel B, press the "A=B" button once. You will see the letter "B" start to flash indicating that
channel B can now be adjusted. Press the "-" or "+" buttons to increase or decrease the intensity of
channel B.
6. Press the "M" button to cycle through the different modes. Each mode has a different waveform, select
the waveform that best diminishes the pain being treated.
7. At any time you may press the central " II" to pause the device (press again to resume).
8. Press and hold the central " II" button to increase the treatment time by 10 minutes. Repeat to select
treatment periods of from 10 to 60 min.
9. When done, switch off the device and put away the connecting wires and electrode pads.
Note: Always start from the lowest intensity, and then gradually adjust to a comfortable level.
10
Using your TENS Pain Reliever
Gel Pads
Each gel pad is pre-fixed with a connector stud and protected by a transparent film. Connect the gel pads
to the output cables and remove the transparent film before placing on the skin. Press firmly to ensure
good adhesion.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When removing the gel pads from the skin, peel off using the pad itself.
DO NOT pull the cable to remove.
Please note:
When the gel pads are not in use, place them back on the protective transparent films to keep them
clean and lint free.
If the gel pads are dirty, wipe with a damp, lint free cloth and allow to dry or replace with new ones.
Do not clean the pads or adhesive gel with any chemicals.
Replacement pads are available from your retailer or directly from www.KinetikWellbeing.com
11
Using your TENS Pain Reliever
Recommended practices:
1. Duration of 20 minute for each body area.
2. Frequency of 1-2 times per day per area.
3. Be sure the treatment site is clean of dirt and body lotion.
4. The lifespan of the electrode pads will vary depending on the use frequency and care taken.
Keeping electrode pads clean and stored on the gel pad holder after use will extend their lifespan.
Replace the electrode pads when they lose their adhesiveness.

a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios,
amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess
the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered.
If the measured field strength in the location in which the TD2 is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above,
the TD2 should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed,
additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the TD2
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

Compatibility EMC
The TD2 is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances
are controlled. The customer or the user of the TD2 can help prevent electromagnetic
interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications
equipment (transmitters) and the TD2 as recommended below, according to the maximum
output power of the communications equipment.
NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from
structures, objects and people.
For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in metres (m) can be estimated
using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W)
