9.4 How to carry out treatment
During treatment you should keep a minimum of 1 m away from microwave
and short wave appliances. Electromagnetic interaction may affect the
functioning of the Well TENS.
1. Use scissors to cut off any lush growth of hair at the points where you want
to apply the self-adhesive electrodes as recommended by your doctor or
therapist.
Do not shave the areas concerned.
2. Use a mild soap solution to clean the skin at the points where you want to
apply the self-adhesive electrodes. Rinse off the soap solution well and
dab the skin with a towel until it is thoroughly dry.
3. Connect the two-way adaptor of the self-adhesive electrodes with the
two-way adaptor at the end of the supply cable.
According to what your doctor or therapist recommends, you may also
carry out treatment using just one pair of electrodes. In this case make
the connections for this one pair of electrodes only.
Do not touch the self-adhesive electrodes unless both channels of
the Well TENS are switched off. The strong current may cause an
unpleasant sensation on the small area of the finger.
4. Remove the self-adhesive electrodes from the protective film.
Always pull the self-adhesive electrodes by the plaster and never
by the wires. The wires may break if subjected to too much
mechanical stress.
5. Stick the self-adhesive electrodes onto the contact points recommended
by your doctor or therapist.
Do not overstretch the skin when you stick on the electrodes. Lay the
self-adhesive electrode lightly onto the skin and then press the electrode
gently from the centre to the outside.
The self-adhesive electrodes must adhere firmly to the skin.
Replace with new self-adhesive electrodes when the adhesive has be-
come weak.
6. Connect the supply cable to the output jack on the Well TENS appliance
