• Do not use the device whilst using other devices that transmit
electrical impulses to your body.
• Do not use in the vicinity of highly flammable substances, gases
or explosives.
• During the initial few minutes, use the device while sitting or lying
down to minimise the risk of accidental injuries as a consequence
of isolated cases of vagal responses (feeling of faintness). If you
feel faint, immediately switch off the device, lie down and support
your legs in an elevated position (approx. 5 – 10 mins.).
• Treatment of the skin with moisturising lotions or ointments be-
forehand is not recommended as this considerably increases the
electrode wear and may cause unpleasant current peaks.
• This device is not intended for use by children or people with
restricted physical, sensory (e.g. reduced sensitivity to pain) or
mental skills or a lack of experience and/or lack of knowledge,
unless they are supervised by a person who is responsible for
their safety or who are instructed by such a person in how to use
the device.
• If the adhesive capability of the adhesive electrodes decreases,
please replace them immediately. Do not use the device until you
have the new adhesive electrodes. Otherwise the unequal adhe-
sion of the adhesive electrodes may lead to skin injuries. Replace
the electrodes with new ones after having used them 20 times at
the latest.

able battery cell, flush out the affected areas with water and seek
medical assistance.

from the manufacturer and the specifications in these instructions
for use regarding correct charging must be observed at all times.
