To maximize pain relief, it is important that the stimulation feels
strong. However, it should also feel comfortable. The intensity
that you will require is estimated based on your conguration.
However, because of differences among people, this estimated
intensity may be too low, and it will feel weak or too high and may
feel uncomfortable. In either case, you should adjust the intensity
as described on page 16. The greatest pain relief will be obtained
when you set the intensity to the highest level that is also
comfortable. The device will remember changes to the intensity
and you should not need to adjust the intensity often. Please
follow the steps on the following pages for a therapy session.
Preparing for Therapy Session
Before starting a therapy session make sure you have an
electrode attached to the device. You should also check the
battery to ensure it has an adequate charge.
Place the device on your leg as described in Chapter 3.
Starting Therapy Session
To start a therapy session, press and
hold button (Figure 13) for a few seconds
until the indicator light starts blinking
green. The indicator light will continue
blinking green for the duration of the
therapy session.
The intensity will gradually increase to
the intensity which was determined when you congured your
device. This intensity will be stronger than what you experienced
during conguration. You may not feel anything for the rst 10-15
seconds. However, the blinking green light indicates the device
is functioning properly. Stimulation will continue for a total of 60
minutes. The intensity may feel strong at rst but that sensation
will typically fade to a comfortable level after a couple of minutes.
