TENS Massager
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does TENS Massager work?
TENS
Massager sends various patterns of electronic impulses to your muscles
through the massage pads. Your muscles respond to the
impulses by contracting and relaxing rhythmically. The contracting and relaxing
of your muscles produces soothing massage sensations
that are similar to that given by a massage therapist.
What kind of technology does TENS Massager use?
TENS Massager uses innovation of Human
Bioelectric Emulation technology. There are other electronic massagers available that
use similar technology, but most of them only provide one "tapping" sensation.
Your body will get accustomed to that one particular sensation
and it will eventually stop responding to it. TENS Massager produces a
wide variety of massage sensations to
increase relaxation and prevent predictable patterns.
How to take care of the massage pads?
Before applying massage pads, clean your skin. Make sure not to use skin
creams. If the pads become dirty, you can wash them
using water or rubbing alcohol.
Depending on frequency of use, the pads can last from one month to several
months. If you find the pads lose their adhesiveness, try applying a few drops
of water. You need to replace the pads
once they become visibly worn out.
To change the pads, simply unsnap the button on the back of the pads and clip on
the new pads.
The massage pads are not sticking, what should I do?
Make sure that the protective plastic covering the massage pads have been
removed. The massage pads are water activated. Before each
use, dip your fingers into some water and rub the water onto each pad. Apply the
pads immediately to your skin when they are still wet.
Remove the old pads and replace with new pads about once a month to ensure
maximum effectiveness. Also, remember to place the pads
back into the storage tray right after each use to prevent the pads from drying
up and picking up dirt.
Why do I occasionally feel a stinging sensation from the pads?
The pads must be moist and sticky to work. Pads
that are not moist enough will produce a weak and stinging sensation. Before
each use dip your finger into some
water and rub the water onto the massage pads. Apply the pads immediately to you
skin when they are still wet. Make
sure that the pads are making full and firm contact with the skin.
Worn out pads may also cause a stinging sensation. Replace the pads as needed.
Even when you feel stinging sensations, TENS Massager is safe. You just need to make sure that the pads are moist.
I can barely feel anything from the pads, what is wrong?
Check the wire connection to the pads and make
sure the plug is secure.
Make sure the batteries are in good condition.
Check that the pads are moist and not worn out.
Turn the switch off then on again.
Please make sure both pads are on the same person's body.
Gradually increase the intensity level by turning the switch toward "on".
I have a pacemaker, is this instrument safe for me to use?
No. The unit is not recommended for those with a pacemaker. If you have a heart
condition, but do not have a pace
maker, then it is believed to be safe. Always check with your physician if you
have any concerns.
Where can I apply the pads?
Generally, you can apply the pads anywhere
except the heart and brain area. We recommend some common massage points in the manual
accompanying TENS Massager for the most effective relaxation techniques.
The best way to relieve your pain is to find the pain points and apply the pads
there.

times per day is recommended for faster results.
