Frequently Asked Questions - Sports TENS 2 TensCare

What is the purpose of the Sports TENS 2?

The Sports TENS 2 combines TENS (pain relief), EMS (muscle stimulation) and Massage functions. It is designed to improve muscle tone, relieve acute or chronic localized pain, aid rehabilitation and promote muscle relaxation.

Can I use this device if I have a pacemaker?

No, use is contraindicated for people with pacemakers or any other electronic medical device. The electrical current could interfere with the implanted device's operation and cause serious risks.

How to choose the right program for pain relief?

For acute pain, choose high-frequency TENS programs (80-150 Hz) such as programs 1, 2 or 10. For chronic pain, low-frequency programs (2-10 Hz) like program 3 are recommended to release endorphins. Programs 4 to 9 combine both mechanisms. It is advisable to try several programs and electrode positions.

What is the difference between TENS and EMS modes?

TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) mode acts on nerves to block pain signals and release endorphins. EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) mode causes muscle contractions to tone, strengthen or rehabilitate muscles. The Sports TENS 2 also offers a Massage mode for relaxation.

How to clean the device and electrodes?

Clean the unit and wires with a damp cloth and a solution of water and mild soap. Never immerse the device in water. Electrodes should be placed back on their plastic liner after use and stored in the resealable bag. Replace electrodes when they no longer stick.

How long does a typical session last?

The duration depends on the program. For TENS programs, use can be continuous (several hours) but it is recommended to reposition electrodes every 12 hours. EMS programs typically last between 20 and 60 minutes. Massage programs last 30 minutes on average. The adjustable timer ranges from 1 to 90 minutes or continuous mode (C).

Can I use the device on my face?

Yes, using EMS I mode (small muscles) with special facial electrodes (optional). Adjust intensity carefully and never exceed 40 mA. Keep a distance of at least 3 cm between electrode and eye. Facial toning programs are possible but require regular use (5 days/week for 12 weeks).

What to do if the screen shows nothing?

First check that the battery is charged. Plug the device into the supplied charger: the word BATT should appear. If after charging the screen remains off, the battery may be defective; contact customer service. Do not attempt to repair the device yourself.

Are the electrodes reusable?

Yes, the supplied electrodes are reusable but have a limited lifespan (12 to 20 applications depending on conditions). They are hydrogel and latex-free. Place them back on their plastic liner after each use to maintain adhesion. Replace them as soon as they no longer stick or the stimulation quality decreases.

What is the warranty for the Sports TENS 2?

The device has a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects from the date of purchase. The warranty does not cover electrodes, lead wires, power adapter, or damage due to misuse. Keep your proof of purchase and warranty card for any returns.

1. INTRODUCTION

Device Description & Principles of Design

The Sports TENS 2 combines the treatment capabilities of a TENS device, an EMS or NMES device, and a relaxing massage stimulator in one unit.

It sends a small and gentle stimulation (similar to your natural nerve impulses) to the muscles being treated via two or four auto-adhesive electrode pads, in order to help you to firm and tone your body.

Rehabilitation: neuromuscular facilitation, muscle re-education, muscle training, prevention/slowing of atrophy/hypotrophy. EMS has been shown to improve blood flow and circulation.

Sports training: improve muscle strength and performance; warm up, strength, speed, power, resistance, endurance and recovery.

Muscle relaxation: loosening up of muscular tension, improving muscular fatigue symptoms and reduced fatigue and muscle tension.

2. INTENDED USE

Sports TENS 2 is a medical device designed to be used in the home healthcare environment to improve muscle tone and bulk, as well as provide symptomatic relief and management of acute or chronic localised pain and muscle pain. It is suitable for use by all who can control the device and understand the instructions.

Do not use the device for any purpose other than this intended use.

Warning: Not suitable for use in children without medical supervision.

3. CONTRAINDICATIONS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS

CONTRAINDICATIONS:

Do NOT use if you have a pacemaker (or if you have a heart rhythm problem) or with any electronic medical devices. Using this unit with electronic medical devices may cause erroneous operation of the device. Stimulation in the direct vicinity of an implanted device may affect some models.

Do NOT use during the first three months of pregnancy. It is not known whether TENS and EMS may affect foetal development.

Do NOT use on the abdomen in the later stages of pregnancy. Stop using immediately if you experience unexpected contractions.

WARNINGS:

Do NOT use when driving, operating machinery, or similar actions needing muscular control. Loose electrode pads, damaged leads, or sudden changes in contact may cause brief involuntary muscle movements.

Do NOT use to mask or relieve undiagnosed pain. This may delay diagnosis of a progressive condition.

Do NOT use if you have, in the area being treated: active or suspected cancer or undiagnosed pain with a history of cancer. Stimulation directly through a confirmed or suspected malignancy should be avoided as it may stimulate growth and promote spread of cancer cells.

Do NOT use simultaneously with high frequency hospital diagnostic/therapeutic

equipment. Doing so may result in burns at the site of the electrodes and possible damage to device.

Do NOT use electrodes on the front of the neck. Stimulation on the front of the neck can affect your heart rate or cause contraction of the throat.

Do NOT use electrodes across the chest. Very strong stimulation across the chest may cause an extra heartbeat and/or rhythm disturbances to your heart, which could be lethal.

Do NOT use in close proximity (e.g. 1 m) to a shortwave or microwave as this may produce instability in the stimulator output.

Do NOT apply near the thorax because the introduction of electrical current may increase the risk of cardiac fibrillation.

Stimulation should not be applied across or through the head, directly on the eyes, covering the mouth, on the front of the neck (especially the carotid sinus), or from electrodes placed on the upper back or crossing over the heart.

CAUTIONS:

Caution should be used if you have a bleeding disorder as stimulation may increase blood flow to the stimulated region.

Caution should be used if you have suspected or diagnosed epilepsy as electrical stimulation may affect seizure threshold.

Caution should be observed when using the device at the same time as being connected to monitoring equipment with body worn electrode pads. It may interfere with the signals being monitored.

Caution should be used following recent surgical procedures. Stimulation may disrupt the healing process.

Caution Do not permit use by children unable to understand the instructions or persons with cognitive disabilities, i.e.; Alzheimer's disease or dementia.

Caution Keep away from children under 5 years of age, pets and pests. Long lead wires and charging cable - risk of strangulation in infants.

Caution should be observed when using the Sports TENS at high strength settings. Sports TENS has a Yellow LED light on output socket which means the output will exceed 10 mA (R.M.S) or 10 V (R.M.S) averaged over any period of 1 sec. Prolonged use at high settings may cause muscle injury or tissue inflammation.

Caution Not intended for use in an oxygen rich environment.

Caution Not intended for use in conjunction with flammable anaesthetics or flammable agents.

Caution The patient is an intended operator.

Caution Do not service and maintain the device while in use with a patient

Caution Maintenance and all repairs should only be carried out by an authorized agency. The manufacturer will not be held responsible for the results of maintenance or repairs by unauthorized persons.

If necessary, we will provide circuit diagrams, component part lists or other information that will assist authorized service personnel to repair the device.

DO NOT PLACE ELECTRODE PADS:

- On skin, which does not have normal sensation. If the skin is numb too great a

strength may be used, which could result in skin inflammation.

• On broken skin. The electrode pads could encourage infection.
• On the front of the neck. This could cause the airway to close, giving breathing problems. May cause sudden drop in blood pressure (vasovagal response).
  • Over the eyes. May affect eyesight or cause headaches.
• Across the front of the head. Effect on patients who have had strokes or seizures is not known. May affect your sense of balance. The effects of stimulation on the brain are unknown.

ELECTRODE PADS CAUTION:

Caution: Do not ignore any allergic reaction to the electrode pads: If a skin irritation develops, stop using the device, as this type of electrodes may not be suitable for you. Alternative electrode pads specially made for sensitive skin are available (see E-696-SS).

Caution: Do not use this device with leads or electrode pads other than those recommended by the manufacturer. Performance may vary from specification. Electrodes with smaller surface area may cause tissue irritation.

Caution: Do not use high intensity settings if electrodes are smaller than 50x50mm.

Note: Electrode pads supplied have no measurable latex content.

TO KEEP YOUR DEVICE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL CAUTIONS:

Caution: Do not immerse your device in water or place it close to excessive heat such as a fireplace or radiant heater or sources of high

humidity such as a nebulizer or kettle as this may cause it to cease to operate correctly.

Caution: Keep the device away from sunlight, as long-term exposure to sunlight may affect the rubber causing it to become less elastic and crack.

Caution: Keep the device away from lint and dust, as long-term exposure to lint or dust may affect the sockets or cause the battery connector to develop a bad contact.

Caution: Temperature & Relative Humidity of storage: -10^ to +60^ , 15% to 75% R.H.

Temperature & Relative Humidity of transportation: -10°C to +60°C, 15% to 75% R.H.

Caution: There are no user serviceable parts. Do not attempt to open or modify the unit. This may affect the safe operation of the unit and will invalidate the warranty.

Note: There are no known side effects to use and long-term use is not harmful. However, the device works

your muscles and unaccustomed amounts of exercise may produce muscle ache. If this happens, simply reduce the strength of the machine or allow your muscles to rest until the aching disappears.

4. INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROGRAMME SETTINGS

Each programme has its own combination of Frequency and Pulse Width settings which allow for different muscle groups to be exercised and toned through the electrode pads.

- Frequency (measured in Hz - pulses per second)

For EMS programmes:

Low frequencies (1-10 Hz) have a purifying and relaxing effect through individual contractions.

Medium frequencies (20-50 Hz) can put a high level of strain on the muscle, thus promoting the muscular structure.

Higher frequencies, there is permanent tension in the muscle (tetany) combined with premature muscle fatigue. They are therefore preferably used for elasticity and maximum strength training.

For TENS programmes:

Pain gate: A high frequency of 110 Hz is good at blocking pain signals.

Endorphine release: A low frequency of 4 or 10 Hz allows for the release of endorphins, the body's natural morphine-like substances.

- Pulse Width (measured in s - millionths of a second)

The Sports TENS 2 unit has pulse widths of 20 to 350 s. Generally speaking, the higher the pulse width, the more "aggressive" the stimulation feels, if the pulse width is set high enough, it will usually elicit a muscle contraction, which is required for an effective toning of the muscle group selected.

For the TENS programmes (pain relief), it is not desired to elicit a muscle contraction, however Pulse Rate is important because different frequency settings target different nerve groups and the setting will determine if the "Gate Theory" or "Endorphin Theory" of TENS will be used.

- Work/Rest

All the EMS programmes include a WARM UP, TRAIN, and COOL DOWN phase. In the TRAIN phase, the stimulation is intermittent.

Once you have reached a comfortable level, 5 seconds after you stop pressing the button, the intermittent Work/Active Rest phase will start.

For each programme, the unit will go through a stimulation phase (Work) for 1-40 seconds, followed by a phase without stimulation (Active Rest) for a similar time.

This is to allow your muscles to recover from exercise and avoid fatigue.

During the Work period (W), the unit will generate contractions, try to contract the muscle voluntarily at the time to get the best possible results.

This cycle Work/Rest will continue for the duration of the programme selected.

W and R are displayed on the screen.

- Ramp

RAMP is the time in seconds taken to move up and down between zero and the set stimulation strength (i.e. the time taken to move between the Work stimulation and the Rest period). The Sports TENS 2 has a fixed ramp time of 1.5 s up and 0.75 s down.

- Constant and Burst Modes

Constant mode is when the sensation is continuous versus Burst mode when the sensation, as its name implies, is one of on and off. Constant mode is often used for acute pain via Pain Gate effect whereas Burst mode is useful in chronic pain relief. Burst gives a combination of Pain Gate and Endorphin Release, but the squeezing feeling may not be as comfortable. The stimulation intensity will need to be relatively high. In Constant mode,

the sensation is continuous and is more of a tingling pins and needles type.

- Modulation Modes

Modulation is when either the frequency or pulse width sweep across range of settings. In modulation mode, the machine delivers a less regular pattern of TENS stimulation in an attempt to reduce or minimise the accommodation effects of regular, patterned stimulation. This is potentially most useful for patients who use TENS for several hours a day, if for no other reason than accommodation occurs at a slower rate and therefore less

intensity adjustment may be required. See programmes F and G.

• HAN Stimulation

Invented by Professor Han, it is an alternating mode or shifting between high and low frequencies; stimulation works at a high frequency and a relatively low pulse width; and a low frequency and a relatively high pulse width. This is thought to produce a better analgesic effect and could be used to relieve both acute and chronic pain.

* P=Pain Gate. Gives relief when being used. Wears off after a few hours.
E= Endorphin Release. Builds up over 40 mins. Lasts several hours after use.
There is not one programme for a particular condition, and the best choice varies from one

person to another, even if they have the same type of pain.

Each user needs to select both the programme and the positioning of the electrode pads that is best for them. You may need to try a few positions/programmes before finding the one that suits you.

5.2. PRESET PROGRAMMES

Programme 1 & 2:

P – Constant stimulation, the programme generates a uniform smooth sensation. This is the gentlest programme. It is advisable to use for your first trial of TENS while you get used to the sensation.

Programme 3:

E - Pulsing or tapping sensation associated with muscle contractions. Uses the Endorphin release mechanism. It is suitable to be used for chronic pains such as back pain & arthritis, but not for injured muscles where the contractions may delay healing.

This low frequency is also known as Acupuncture-Like TENS and can be used on acupuncture points. One example of this is application on acupuncture point C6 for nausea, travel and morning sickness.

Programme 4 & 5:

P + E – This programme combines P and E, and is thought to be the most effective for radiating pain in arms and legs and deep muscular pain (Osteoarthritic pain in the knee, Sciatica central pain).

Programme 6 & 7:

P + E – Han stimulation. This programme alternates between low and high frequency every 3 seconds. The effective pain relief is provided by a combination of P and E.

Programme 8:

P+E - PFM, Pulse Width and Frequency Modulation. PW decreases as F increases. This programme gives a pleasant slow relaxing

massage sensation. The continuous change helps prevent accommodation occurring.

Programme 9:

P+E – FM, Frequency Modulation, this programme constantly varies the sensation, and is ideal for treating chronic pain over long period (example 5+ hours). Neck, shoulder, Elbow pain, Rheumatic pain, Lumbago, Hip pain, Osteoarthritic pain in the knee.

Programme 10:

P – DTENS: Reduced pulse width is ideal for treating nerve rich areas (tension type headache, facial pain, neck pain, post herpetic neuralgia, migraine).

5.3. MANUAL PROGRAMMES

Programme 11:

Manual programme with constant stimulation.

Programme 12:

Manual programme with burst stimulation.

5.4. PROGRAMME USAGE

TENS can be used for as long as it is necessary. Continuous treatment is fine, but the electrode pads should be repositioned regularly (at least every 12 hours) to allow the skin to be exposed to the air.

The Endorphin Release programmes work better when the strength is high enough to cause small muscle contractions. Best results are achieved with a session duration between 20 and 40 minutes. Longer use may cause muscle ache.

Before selecting an EMS programme, you will need to select a mode:

MODE I is for small muscles like the face and hands.

MODE II is for medium sized muscles like arms and feet.

Mode III is for large muscles like thighs, buttocks, and abdomen.

6.2. PRESET PROGRAMMES

Programme 1: Muscle Calming

Relaxing the muscles as much as possible and to promote the body's natural endorphins to promote pain relief and to improve the blood circulation and provide oxygen into the muscle.

Programme 2: Resume Training 1

To promote the slow twitch fibres to build muscle strength to help reduce muscle atrophy ready for resuming training activities. Used for all type of sports.

Programme 3: Resume Training 2

Progress from programme 2 as tolerance increases.

Programme 4: Resistance 1

Improving and increasing the capacity to develop very high level of muscle force over a long period of time. Improving the efficacy of the oxygen consumption at the muscle level and the capacity to withstand toxin accretion, such as lactic acid. For sports activities that require very high levels of prolonged muscle activity: Rowing, Cycling, Middle distance running.

Programme 5: Resistance 2

Progress from programme 4 as tolerance increases.

Alternative application: Lipolysis

Increasing the flow of blood circulation and modifying the metabolism of the lipocytes. To help stimulate the subcutaneous deposits of fat. To assist reduce or eliminate the Orange Peel effect of the skin surface

Programme 6: Maximum Muscle Contraction

To increase muscle bulk and volume and to improve muscle force. Searching for muscular hypertrophy.

Programme 7: Muscle toning 1

Strengthening the muscles, improving blood circulation and capillary bed density. Ideal for applying to the Thigh, Legs, Bottom and Abdomen.

Programme 8: Muscle toning 2

Similar to programme 7, but adding bulk in preference to endurance

Programme 9: Force Output, Anaerobic activity

Increasing the muscle capacity to a level of instantaneous maximum muscle force, changing muscle force into explosive action. Used for all activities requiring maximum muscle output in a very short space of time, such as Judo, short distance sprinting, throwing the discus or shot-put.

All preset TRAIN phases have Ramp up 1.5 s, Ramp Down 0.75 s.

Most Active Rest phases are at 4 Hz, 200 s.

6.3. MANUAL PROGRAMMES

Warning: Consult your healthcare professional before altering these settings. Correct settings depend on

your muscle tone and exercise goals. Inappropriate settings could cause discomfort,

undesired muscle balance, or even muscle injury.

Programme 10 & 11:

Manual programmes, you can select the frequency, the pulse width, the work and active rest time.

At first use, the default values are shown.

The Warning triangle is displayed if the Active Rest period is less than:

Rest Time = Work Time * (WorkHz-16.66) / 16.66 seconds.

This is because muscle fibres can only activate a limited number of times a minute (about 1000) without becoming fatigued.

6.4. PROGRAMME USAGE

Recommended use for all body parts except the face:

Generally, 3 sessions per week, over a period of 4 to 6 weeks, gives good initial results depending on the body shaping, toning, sports training or rehabilitation and recovery needs.

Face (Mode I):

Using the Sports TENS 2 is a non-invasive option for helping lift and/or tighten the soft tissues of the face, improving facial muscle tone and reducing the signs of ageing.

Recommended use for Face: One treatment session daily, 5 days/week, for 12 weeks.

You may notice some positive effects after just one session, but normally it will take about 6 weeks before you notice a difference.

Take care when adjusting the intensity as facial muscles are particularly sensitive; intensity should be increased gradually, starting with a very low level of stimulation (just above perception) and increasing with care until you reach a good level of stimulation, represented by good muscle activation.

On the face, it is not necessary to reach levels of intensity capable of causing discomfort! Great and significant results are obtained through consistency and patience.

Warning: Use the programme of your choice on mode I and never bring the intensity higher than 40 mA.

Always use small electrode pads (see E-CM25) or the face electrode pads* (see E-CM3050).

*Sold separately.

A minimum distance of 3 cm. must be kept between the electrode pad and the eyeball.

Note: You might notice mild skin redness at the site of the electrode pads after the treatment session. It de within 10 to 20 minutes.

Very rarely temporary after-effects, such as mild eyelid flutter, have been reported after facial stimulation. This has always resolved within a few days.

GENERAL ADVICE:

Ideally, use Sports TENS 2 once every two days for each muscle with a day of rest in between. It is possible to work on pairs of muscles, for example thighs and abdominal muscles, treating one set one day and the other the next day.

Warning: Working on too many muscles at the same time is not recommended.

The object of EMS treatment is to produce powerful muscle contractions.

The strength of the current should be increased to about three times the level at which you can first feel the tingling, or to as high as you can stand without causing pain.

Increase the intensity until you feel a very smooth tensing under the pads, there should be little visible movement.

Use a low intensity for the first session to help you to understand how the machine works.

Voluntary muscular activity is more effective than stimulation, and it may improve progress if you combine voluntary contraction with stimulation. For best results, always try to contract voluntarily during the work phases.

During the programme and over the next few days the intensity should be increased gradually to produce marked, but not painful muscle contractions.

After treatment tingling sensations may continue or your skin may feel numb, this is normal.

Once good results have been obtained the sessions may be reduced to once or twice a week until the user feels that optimum body shaping has been achieved.

Note: The stimulation should remain comfortable and relaxing at all times.

7.2. PROGRAMME USAGE

Massage programmes can be used to relieve stiffness in the muscles. Simply experiment with the different programmes to find the one that you find the most relaxing.

Programme 1 alternates between two strong squeezing/kneading feelings.

Programme 2 alternates between slow and fast tapping.

Programme 3 alternates between gentle and strong kneading.

Programme 4 has five steps of gradually increasing strength of kneading, alternating with tapping.

Programme 5 and 7 alternates between slow and medium-strong tapping.

Programme 6 is a gentler form of programme 5.

Programme 8 is a pumping sensation at about your own heart rate, that slowly increases in speed over the course of the 20 min treatment. It is especially effective with swollen legs and veins.

Programme 9 is squeezing/kneading in 6 steps of increasing intensity.

Programme 10 generates a tapping sensation gradually speeding up, then slowing down.

9. ELECTRODE PADS

The electrode pads must always be used in pairs (two electrode pads on each channel), so that the signal can flow in a circuit.

You may feel more sensation in one pad than the other. This is normal – it depends on where the electrode pads are in relation to your nerves.

Use the square electrode pads (see E-CM5050) for all areas except the face where specific optional electrode pads are required (see E-CM25 and E-CM3050).

Always check that the unit is OFF before attaching or removing electrode pads.

9.1. TENS ELECTRODE PLACEMENT

Around the area of pain

The easiest way is to apply the electrode pads around/near the source of the pain.

TENS activates the nerves best if it travels along the nerve rather than across it. So, place one pad further from the spine than the source of the pain, and one closer.

If the pain is in, or close to, your spine you can place one pad either side of the spine.

Note: See examples of positioning in the instructions enclosed with your electrode pads.

9.2. EMS ELECTRODE PLACEMENT

Electrode placement for EMS is very important for obtaining the best results.

Place two electrode pads over the bulk of the muscle, with one electrode over the muscle's motor point. The motor point is the area on the skin that is located closest to the motor nerve's entry into the muscle – about 1/3 of the way down the muscle from the spine. Here, it is easiest to trigger a contraction by electrical stimulation.

Experiment by moving the electrode pads across the skin until you locate the point over the muscle that gives the cleanest contraction.

Note: The + electrode pad needs to be plugged in to the red lead wire connector, the – refers to the one for

the black lead wire connector.

Face treatment with optional electrode pads

You can use the programme 7 (with MODE I) stimulate the muscles around the face muscles. You will notice the muscles working straight away from the slight twitching. The activation of the muscles stimulates the circulation. This relaxing skin care also contributes to an increase in well-being, making you appear more awake and content.

To target specific muscles in the face it is best to use the small circular electrode pads (see E-CM25).

Poor return of blood to the heart is a common problem leading to swollen legs and varicose veins. The programme 8 supports what is known as the venous pump. Waste products are discharged which in turn eases the flow of blood.

9.4. PAD ADVICE

• The electrode pads supplied are reusable but for single patient use. The adhesive is a peelable hydrogel (water based).
• In order to obtain the best conductivity through the electrode pads always ensure that they are in good condition and tacky.
• Before use make sure your skin is clean and dry.

• Peel the electrode pads from their protective plastic shield by holding and lifting one corner of the pad and pulling. Do not pull on the pigtail wire of the pad.
  • After use always replace the electrode pads on the plastic liner and replace them in the re-sealable plastic bag.

• If the electrode pads dry out, then it is best to buy a replacement pack. In an emergency, it may be possible to restore some of the tackiness of the pad by adding a tiny drop of water on each pad and spreading around. If too much water is added, the electrode pad will become too soft. If that happens then it is suggested in order to try and re-establish some adhesiveness, to place them sticky side up in a refrigerator for a few hours.

• In very hot weather the gel on the electrode pads may become soft. In such cases place them, still on their plastic liners and in their pouch into a fridge until they return to their normal condition.
• The electrode pads provided are latex-free.
• Replace the electrode pads when they lose their stickiness.

Poor connection may cause discomfort and skin irritation.

- Storage life of an unopened pack of electrode pads is 2 years. This may be affected by very high temperatures or very low humidity.

Each time you press and release the P button, the programme changes and is shown on the LCD. The Hz and s settings for each programme are also

displayed.

Each time you change the programme, the strength level reverts back to zero. This is a safety feature to alleviate any sudden feeling of a surge, as each programme gives a different sensation.

STRENGTH CONTROLS

The buttons marked Ch1▲, Ch1▼, Ch2▲, Ch2▼ are the strength controls.

The left-hand buttons change strength in the left-hand lead, Ch1, and the right-hand buttons change the right-hand lead, Ch2.

To increase strength in steps of 1 mA, press and release

the top part of the channel buttons, Ch1▲ and Ch2▲.

The strength levels are shown on the LCD.

The strength control buttons will not operate until the unit is properly connected to you. If the Sports TENS 2 detects a disconnection in either channel it will automatically return the strength to zero in that channel and flash '00'.

The unit has 99 levels of strength.

If you hold down the strength controls for 3 to 5 seconds, the strength will start increasing continuously.

You may feel nothing over the first few presses. Continue pressing until the sensation is strong but comfortable. At each phase of the programme the intensity automatically adjusts to give a comfortable stimulation, however further increases during use may be necessary if your body becomes used to the sensation. To decrease the strength, press and release the lower part of the buttons marked Ch1▼ and Ch2▼.

The yellow LED on the output socket indicates that there is an active output which can be high enough to be harmful if not used correctly. The display will remain on for 5 seconds after the plug is removed.

18. TROUBLESHOOTING

If your Sports TENS 2 is not working properly, please check the following:

Problem	Possible causes	Solution
No display	Flat battery	Charge battery. See section 15.1.
	Damaged battery	Contact supplier. There is no maintenance or calibration other than replacement of gel pads and battery charging. Do not modify the device as this may reduce safety or effectiveness.
Low battery display	Low batteries.	Charge battery.
Controls won’t work	Keypad is locked.	If LOCK is shown on display, press and hold the▼button.
No sensation	Intensity is not strong enough.	Increase strength.Most users will feel something at a setting below 20 mA.
Output will not increase above zero	Open circuit cut-out operating. Lead not connected to body or faulty/damaged.	Ensure machine is attached to your body correctly.Try using the second lead wire.Purchase replacement if necessary.
	(Lead wires can break at the bend where they leave the machine giving no, or intermittent, output).
Sudden change in sensation	If you disconnect and re-connect a few minutes later, the signal will feel quite a lot stronger.	Always return strength to zero after disconnecting the leads or electrode pads.

If the above review has failed to resolve your problem, or to report unexpected operation or events, or to provide feedback call TensCare or your local supplier or distributor (address on back cover) for advice.
