Our TENS-EMS Machines require very little “maintenance”, in that all that is required is good electrode - pad care and changing the battery. The life of the battery is dependant on amount of use as well as the intensity of the programs used. Change the battery if the display does not function or the output intensity seems diminished.

The longevity of the pads, can be promoted by good skin preparation and post use storage. Before the pads are applied it is recommended that the site is free from body oils or cosmetics by cleaning with an alcohol swab. This will also provide the best surface contact for each treatment session.

Remember the "FIVE P’s".

Poor Preparation Promotes Poor Performance. After use lightly spray the pads. with approximately 90% water and 10% Methylated spirit, mixed in a suitable small bottle, before re-applying pads - electrodes to their storage sheet. It is advisable to retain the zip lock bag (as supplied with the pads) so the pads can be sealed as air tight when stored.

TENS Machine is not to be used for a long period of time, make sure to remove the batteries from the battery compartment (as acid may smetimes leak from used batteries and could damage your machine). Keep the TENS and accessories in its carrying case and keep it in cool dry place.
