The Opti-Max Key

This provides extra versatility to your Elle TENS+. Increasing or decreasing

the Opti-Max Key will allow you to either heighten or lessen the level of pulse

power transmitted to the electrode pads.

Pressing the Opti-Max Key either + or - will increase or decrease Opti-Max

sensation. This is extremely useful for the final stages of labour when you need

an extra surge of power. There are 5 Opti-Max levels in the BIRTH mode: 50,

100, 150, 200 and 250

Ȑs

(microseconds). The unit will always start up at Opti-

Max 150

Ȑs

, which is exactly half way between the highest and lowest setting.

N.B. 1. The Opti-Max Key can be used according to your preference and not

necessarily for the stage of labour you are in. 2. When operating the Opti-Max

Key the CT information will temporarily be replaced but will return automatically.

When you have finished

Press the On/Off Button to turn the unit off before removing the wires. Remove

the jack plugs from sockets holding the plugs between the forefinger and thumb.

Remove electrodes returning them to the plastic backing and pouch as supplied.

Useful Tips

Continue stimulation for as

long as necessary, unless

you experience discomfort.

If you stimulate for a number

of hours ensure the pads do

not become dry. If this

occurs, switch off the unit,

disconnect the electrodes,

and apply a small drop of

water to them.
