6. Operation
General information about use
The back belt is intended for individual treatment of pain in the lower back area.
Do not switch on the unit until the belt is fitted correctly. See item 5.
Switching on the unit
Press and hold down the on/off button [1] until a brief signal sounds and the LCD display [5] switches on.
When the unit is started for the first time, Program A is activated automatically.
Selecting the program
Press the program button P [3] to switch through the programs. The following programs are available:
Program Frequency Time
A 4 Hz –110 Hz (3 phases) 30 min.
B 4 Hz 25 min.
C 2 Hz (burst) 25 min.
D 100 Hz 25 min.
Note:
For program A, you can feel the effect become stronger when switching from phase 1 to phase 2 (after ap-
prox. 10 minutes). This is normal and intentional. If the intensity seems too high, decrease it using the
▼
intensity button [2].
Note:
If you change the program during the stimulation (for example from A to B), the initial intensity in the new
program increases incrementally up to the previously set intensity. This can be stopped if necessary by
pressing the ▼ intensity button [2] for two seconds or by switching off the unit by pressing the on/off but-
ton [1] for two seconds.
Stopping impulses that are too strong
You can decrease the intensity at any time or switch off the unit by pressing the on/off button [1] (approx.
2 seconds).
Adjusting the intensity
Press the ▲ intensity button [2] to increase the intensity incrementally or press the ▼ intensity button [2] to lower
the intensity. You can adjust the intensity in 20 Increments. Depending on the intensity level, you feel a prickling
at first that can escalate to a muscle contraction.
Select a setting that is within your comfort level.
Preventing unwanted pulse changes
To prevent an accidental increase in intensity during a treatment session, simply activate the keylock. To do
so, press the program selection button P [3] for approx. 2 seconds. An acoustic signal sounds and the “ ”
symbol appears in the display[5].
To cancel the keylock, press and hold down the P [3] button for approx. 2 seconds.
Reacting to unpleasant sensations
If you feel a stinging or itching sensation, switch off the unit and proceed as follows:
• Check whether the electrodes are working properly or are defective.
• Check whether the round cover is still present over the electrode connections.
• Take off the belt and moisten it completely once again.
• When refitting the belt, ensure good skin contact and good moistening.
