10. Problems and solutions
The machine does not switch on when the On/OFF button
pressed. What should I do?
(1) Make sure that the batteries have been inserted correctly and have
contact.
(2) Change the batteries if necessary.
(3) Contact customer service.
The electrodes are detaching themselves from the body. What
should I do?
(1) Clean the adhesive surface of the electrodes with a damp, lint-free
cloth. Then let them dry in the air and attach them again. Should
the electrodes still not adhere firmly, they must be replaced.
(2) Before each application, clean the skin, avoiding using any skin
cream or oils before treatment. Shaving can increase adhesion of
the electrodes.
There is no noticeable stimulation. What should I do?
(1) Interrupt the programme by pressing the ON/OFF button
sure that the connecting leads are properly connected to the elec-
trodes. Make sure that there is a firm contact between the elec-
trodes and the treatment area.
(2) Make sure that the plug of the connecting lead is firmly connected
to the machine.
(3) Press the ON/OFF key
(4) Check that the electrodes are positioned properly and make sure
that the adhesive electrodes are not overlapping.
(5) Increase pulse intensity in stages.
(6) The batteries are almost empty. Replace these.
What to do if the battery symbol is displayed.
Replace all batteries.
to start the programme again.
You are aware that the electrodes feel uncomfortable. What
should I do?
(1) The electrodes are badly positioned. Check positioning and if nec-
essary reposition the electrodes.
(2) The electrodes are worn. Due to the fact that current distribution
can no longer be guaranteed evenly over the entire surface, these
may lead to skin irritation. You must therefore replace these.
The skin in the treatment area becomes red. What should I do?
Stop treatment immediately and wait until the skin has returned to
is
normal. If any redness beneath the electrode soon disappears, this is
not dangerous and is due to the increased circulation which has been
stimulated locally.
If, however, the skin irritation remains and there is possibly itching or
inflammation, please consult your doctor before further use. It may
possibly be caused by an allergy to the adhesive surface.
