INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON Total Power + H eat.
The OMRO N Total Power + Heat is a portable device t hat relieves chronic, acute* and art hritic
pain through the combination of soothing heat and TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve
Stimulation) technology. It is designed to reduce and relieve muscle and joint pain, stiness and
numbness in the back, arms, legs, shoulders and feet. The Total Power + Heat uses gel pads to
deliver TENS therapy to the surface of the skin for pain relief.
TENS is a safe and drug-free pain relief solution that has been used for over 40 years by medical
professionals such as physical therapists and chiropractors.
* Acute pain re fers to sore or achy m uscles due to strai n from exercise or no rmal househol d and work activi ties.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Read the Important Safety Information in this instruction manual before using this device.
Follow this instruction manual thoroughly for your safety.
WARNING
•Keep this device out of the reach of infants, toddlers and children because the AC adapter cord
could cause strangulation.
•Consult with your physician b efore using this device, because the device may cause lethal rhythm
disturbances to the heart in susceptible individuals.

CAUTION
•
•TENS is not eective for pain of central origin, including headache.
•TENS is not a substitute for pain medications or 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.
•Eectiveness is highly dependent upon patient selection by a practitioner qualied in the
management of pain patients.
•DO NOT use this device to treat one region for extended periods of time. The long-term eects of
electrical stimulation are unknown.
•Since the eects 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, redness, burning or hypersensitivity due to electrical
stimulation, the gel or the heat.
•If you experience any skin irritation or redness after a session, DO NOT continue stimulation in that
area of the skin.

•Consult with your physician prior to using the device af ter a recent surgical procedure because
stimulation may disrupt the healing process.
•Use caution if stimulation is applied over the menstruating uterus.
• Use caution if stimulation is applied over areas of skin that lack normal sensation.
•Use this device only with components provided in the Total Power + Heat packaging and
accessories recommended by the manufacturer. (Refer to subsection 1.1 and section 7)
•Place pads at least 1 inch (3 cm) apar t for optimal results.
•Place pads on either side of the pain, not directly on the pain.
• DO NOT use on wet skin (from sweating, bathing, high humidity).
•DO NOT use this device for any purpose other than what it is intended.

wish to treat.
•The pads should not touch any metal object such as a belt buckle or necklace.
•To avoid damage to the adhesive surface of the gel, ONLY put the pads on your skin or the plastic
pad holder.
•ALWAYS place the clean pads in accordance with the illustrations provided
(Refer to sub -section 3.1).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
•If the device is not functioning properly or you feel discomfort, immediately stop using the device.
•ALWAYS pull from the plug when removing the cord from the device.
•Replace the cord with pads when broken or damaged.
•Using pads that are too small or incorrectly applied could result in discomfort or skin burns.
•The pads do not work correctly without the gels. For safety and eectiveness, they must be used
together.
•Before use, inspect the cord with pads for open wires or any damage. If damaged, DO NOT use and
replace immediately. The damaged cord with pads may cause skin burns or a re.
•Clean and dr y the aected area so it is free of all lotions, oils and sweat. The pads with gels should
be applied only to normal, intact, clean and healthy skin that is not experiencing any swelling or
inammation.
•While using this device, make sure that no mobile device or any other electrical devices that emit
electromagnetic elds is within 12 inches (30 cm). This may result in poor performance of the
device.
•Ensure that this device has acclimated to room temperature before using. Using this device after
an extreme temperature change could lead to an improper operation. OMRON recommends
waiting for approximately 2 hours for the device to warm up or cool down when the device is used
in an environment within the temperature specied as operating conditions after it is stored either
at the maximum or at the minimum storage temperature. For operating, storage and transport
conditions, refer to section 8.
Possible Adverse Reactions
•You may experience skin irritation and burns beneath the stimulation electrodes applied to your
skin.
•You may experience headache and other painful sensations during or following the application of
electrical 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.
•DO NOT use to treat one region for extended periods of time (more than 30 minutes per session,
up to three times/day) or muscles in that region may become exhausted and sore.
Note
• The size, shape and t ype of pads may aect the safet y and eectiveness of electrical stimulation.
• The electrical performance characteristics of pads may aect the safet y and eectiveness of
electrical stimulation.

HOW THE DEVICE WORKS
How does the device work?
The OMRON Total Power + Heat is an innovative device that relieves chronic, acute* and arthritic
pain through the pain relief of TENS and soothing comfort of heat. Physical therapists have been
using the combination of heat and TENS for decades.
Scientic theory suggests that TENS therapy may work in several ways:
1. Gentle electrical pulses move through the skin to nearby nerves to block or shut out the pain
message from ever reaching the brain from the source of the pain.
2.
Gentle electrical pulses increase the production of the body’s natural pain killers, such as
endorphins.
3.
Blood circulation improves as muscles contract and relax with the ow of the electrical stimulation.
* Acute pain ref ers to sore or achy mus cles due to strain f rom exercise or nor mal household an d work activiti es.
