APPENDIX B: Troubleshooting CONT.
What should I do if stimulation stings or feels uncomfortable?
Turn off the device. Remove the device and inspect the electrode.
If the gel is dry, then hydrate the electrode as described in
Chapter 7. Place the device and electrode back on your leg,
making sure that there is complete contact between the electrode
and the skin. If the discomfort persists despite taking these steps
then the electrode should be changed.
I am not getting pain relief.
Make sure the stimulation is strong but remains comfortable.
Either increase the intensity by pressing and holding the button or
repeat the conguration procedure.
Electrode Care:
The gel on my electrode is coming off.
The electrode should still function and can be used as long as the
stimulation feels comfortable and the device does not repeatedly
blink red during therapy sessions.
The gel sticks to my skin when I remove the electrode.
If the gel is coming off the electrode then use of a light lotion
10 minutes prior to therapy should help (see Chapter 8 in
User Manual).
The gel is dry and losing its stickiness.
You should hydrate the electrodes as described in Chapter 7.
