Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the TENS 7000 To Go TM. The TENS 7000 To Go TM is effective in relieving pain, using TENS treatment, which stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. TENS is recognized as a safe and highly effective method of relieving pain. 
Before using, please read all the instructions in this user manual carefully and keep it safe for future reference. 

EXPLANATION OF TENS 
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a noninvasive, drug-free method of controlling pain. TENS uses tiny electrical impulses sent through the skin to nerves to modify your pain perception. TENS does not cure any physiological problem; it only helps control the pain. TENS does not work for everyone; however, in most patients, it is effective in reducing or eliminating the pain, allowing for a return to normal activity. 

HOW TENS WORKS 
The TENS unit sends comfortable impulses through the skin that stimulate the nerve (or nerves) in the treatment area. In many cases, this stimulation will greatly reduce or eliminate the pain sensation the patient feels. Pain relief varies by individual patient, mode selected for therapy, and the type of pain. In many patients, the reduction or elimination of pain lasts longer than the actual period of stimulation (sometimes as much as three to four times longer). In others, pain is only modified while stimulation actually occurs. 

HOW YOUR TENS 7000 To Go™ WORKS 
The main function of pain relief comes from the continuous stimulation pulse generated from the dual-channel stimulator. We cannot ensure that the pain relief is 100% effective for everyone. However, when used according to our instructions, it can be a safe, non-addictive, noninvasive lower back pain reliever. 

CONDITIONS THAT MAY AFFECT YOUR HOW YOUR TENS 7000 To Go™ 
Since the stimulator is a battery-operated electronic system, its output performance and safety may be affected greatly in extreme humidity. Therefore, it is very important to keep the stimulator dry to ensure the safety and performance of the stimulator.
