TENS CONTRAINDICATIONS
• TENS should not be used if you have a cardiac pacemaker, implanted debrillator, or other implanted metallic electronic
device. Such use could cause electric shock, burns, electrical interference, or death.
WARNINGS
• If you are in the care of a physician consult with your physician before using this device.
• If you have had medical or physical treatment for your pain, consult with your physician before using this device.
• If your pain does not improve, becomes more than mild, or continues for more than ve days, stop using the device and
consult with your physician.
• Do not apply stimulation over your neck because this could cause severe muscle spasms resulting in closure of your
airway, difculty in breathing, or adverse effects on heart rhythm or blood pressure.
• Do not apply stimulation across your chest because the introduction of electrical current into the chest may cause rhythm
disturbances to your heart, which could be lethal.
• Do not apply stimulation over open wounds or rashes, or over swollen, red, infected, or inamed areas or skin eruptions
(e.g. phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins).
• Do not apply stimulation over, or in proximity to, cancerous lesions.
• Do not apply stimulation in the presence of electronic monitoring equipment (e.g., cardiac monitors, ECG alarms), which
may not operate properly when the electrical stimulation device is in use.
• Do not apply stimulation when in the bath or shower.
• Do not apply stimulation while sleeping.
• Do not apply stimulation while driving, operating machinery, or during any activity in which electrical stimulation can put
you at risk of injury.
• Do not use the device on children, if it has not been evaluated for pediatric use.
We also recommend the following:
• Consult with your physician before using this device, because the device may cause lethal rhythm disturbances to the
heart in susceptible individuals.
• Apply stimulation only to normal, intact, clean, healthy skin.

PRECAUTIONS
• TENS is not effective for pain of central origin, including headache.
• TENS is not a substitute for pain medications and other pain management therapies.
• TENS devices have no curative value.
• TENS is a symptomatic treatment and, as such, suppresses the sensation of pain that would otherwise serve as a
protective mechanism.
• Effectiveness is highly dependent upon the individual using. Results may vary.
• The long-term effects of electrical stimulation are unknown.
• Since the effects of stimulation of the brain are unknown, stimulation should not be applied across your head, and
electrodes should not be placed on opposite sides of your head.
• The safety of electrical stimulation during pregnancy has not been established.
• You may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to the electrical stimulation or electrical conductive medium (gel).
• If you have suspected or diagnosed heart disease, you should follow precautions recommended by your physician.
• If you have suspected or diagnosed epilepsy, you should follow precautions recommended by your physician.
We also recommend the following:
• Use caution if you have a tendency to bleed internally, such as following an injury or fracture. Consult with your physician
prior to using the device after a recent surgical procedure, because stimulation may disrupt the healing process.
• Use caution if stimulation is applied over the menstruating or pregnant uterus.
• Use caution if stimulation is applied over areas of skin that lack normal sensation.
• Keep this device out of the reach of children.
• Use this device only with the leads, electrodes and accessories provided by the manufacturer to avoid adverse reactions.
• Electrode pads are intended for single person use only.
Please be aware of adverse reactions and precautions below:
• You may experience skin irritation and burns beneath the stimulation electrodes applied to your skin.
• You may experience headaches and other painful sensations during or following the application of electric stimulation near
your eyes and to your head and face.
• You should stop using the device and consult with your physician if you experience adverse reactions from the device.

STEP BY STEP OPERATION GUIDE FOR TREATMENT
STEP 1 - Preparing Your Skin Before Using
Clean and dry treatment area so its free of all lotions, oils and sweat. The electrode pad(s) should be applied only to
normal, intact, clean, healthy skin that is not experiencing any swelling or inammation.
Following the steps below can help prepare the skin for optimal electrical dispersion and increased stimulation
sensitivity.
1. Determine the electrode pad placement sites for the electrode pad(s).
2. Wash the area with mild soap and water (do not use alcohol). Rinse and dry thoroughly.
3. Trim excess body hair from the area with scissors (do not shave).
4. If desired, apply iReliev® Conductive Gel or Conductive Spray to help increase conductivity. This may also reduce the
chance of skin irritation and may extend the life of the electrode pads.
Note: It may be helpful to apply iReliev® After Use Electrotherapy Lotion on electrode pad placement area when system
is not in use to help increase moisture of skin.
Note: Pads are for single person use only.
Note: When removing electrode pads, always remove by pulling in the direction of hair growth.

STEP 2 - Install Batteries
1. The battery compartment is located on the back of the device. Open the battery
compartment by pushing the battery cover marked “Open” downward.
(This area features raised marks for easy identication)
2. Insert 3 AAA (1.5V) batteries into the battery compartment. Insert the outside bat-
teries rst with the (+) side up, and then the center battery with the (+) side down.
3. Close the battery compartment carefully by placing the cover with the studs into
the slots and sliding it upwards with slight pressure until you hear and/or feel it click
into place.
Low Battery Status Indicator: The low battery status indicator will appear on the LCD screen
when the batteries are low. Change the batteries when you see this symbol appear.
STEP 3 - Connect Lead Wire(s) to Channel 1 (CH1) and/or Channel 2 (CH2)
Insert one lead wire into each desired channel.
Note: Fully insert lead wire(s) into respective channel socket(s). This will ensure the safety
feature intensity level reset is not activated. In the event you only want to run one channel,
please insert the lead wire into channel 1 (Upper left-hand side).
Note: The device will auto-reset by default to “0” Intensity Level on the respective channel if
the lead wire is not fully inserted.

STEP 4 - Connect Electrode Pads to Lead Wire(s)
Connect the lead wire pins to the electrode pad(s) for each channel. The device requires
a minimum of 2 small pads per lead wire.
Note: The device will auto-reset by default to “0” Intensity Level on the respective channel
if the lead wire is not fully inserted into the device and/or electrode pad and placed on
your skin.
STEP 5 - Remove Electrode Pads from Plastic Film
Note: To help extend the life of the electrode pad(s), please place the pad(s) back on to the
plastic lm after your treatment therapy is completed.
Note: The electrode pad(s) are disposable and use an adhesive gel that will dry out and
deteriorate after prolonged use and/or storage. The pad(s) can be used approximately
20-30 times based on 30-minute intervals. The electrode pad(s) should be replaced when
they lose their adhesiveness and/or when you sense a change in the stimulation
“tingling sensation”.
STEP 6 - Place Electrode Pads on Skin
Electrode pad placement location recommendations can be found on page 14.
Note: If using more than one electrode at a time, please do not overlap pads on top of each
other and place pads at least 1 inch apart.
Note: Pads are for single person use. Never share the pads with another person.
Note: Do not use pads after expiration date.
Note: Do not place pad(s) on your body where it cannot be reached by your own hand.
