Precautionary Measures - Sanitas SEM 43 Mode D'emploi

• This unit is not intended for use by children or persons with physical, sensory
(e.g. insensitivity to pain) or mental impairments or those who do not know
how to use it due to a lack of experience or knowledge, unless they are su-
pervised by a person responsible for their safety or have received instructions
from them on how to use the unit.
NOTES ON HANDLING BATTERIES
• If your skin or eyes come into contact with battery fluid, flush out the affected
areas with water and seek medical assistance.
• Choking hazard! Small children may swallow and choke on batteries.
Store the batteries out of the reach of small children.
• Observe the plus (+) and minus (-) polarity signs.
• If a battery has leaked, put on protective gloves and clean the battery com-
partment with a dry cloth.
• Protect the batteries from excessive heat.
• Risk of explosion! Never throw batteries into a fire.
• Do not charge or short-circuit batteries.
• If the device is not to be used for a long period, take the batteries out of the
battery compartment.
• Use identical or equivalent battery types only.
• Always replace all batteries at the same time.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• Do not disassemble, split or crush the batteries.

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES:

• Always remove the electrodes from the skin with a moderate pull in order to
avoid injury in the event of highly sensitive skin.
• Keep the machine away from heat sources and never use it near (~1 m)
short-wave or microwave equipment (e.g. mobile phones), as this may lead to
unpleasant current spikes.
• Do not expose the machine to direct sunlight or high temperatures.
• Protect the machine from dust, dirt and humidity. Never submerge the device
in water or other liquids.
• The machine is suitable for private use.
• For reasons of hygiene, the electrodes should only be used on one person.
• If the machine is not functioning properly, or if you start feeling unwell or
there is any pain, stop the application immediately.
• To remove or move the electrodes, first switch off the machine or the appro-
priate channel in order to avoid unwanted irritation.
• Never modify any electrodes (e.g. by cutting). This leads to a higher current
density and can be dangerous (max. recommended output value for
electrodes: 9 mA/cm², an effective current density over 2 mA/cm² requires
greater attention).
• Do not use when asleep, when driving a vehicle or at the same time as oper-
ating machinery.
• Never use with any activities where an unforeseen reaction (e.g. increased
muscle contraction despite low intensity) may be dangerous.
• Make sure that no metallic objects such as belt buckles or necklaces can
come in contact with the electrodes during stimulation. If you wear any jew-
ellery or piercings (e.g. belly piercing) near the application site, you must
remove these before using the machine as burning may otherwise occur at
some points.
• Keep the device away from children to prevent any hazards.
• Do not confuse the electrode cables and contacts with your headphones or
other devices, and do not connect the electrodes to other devices.
• Do not use this machine at the same time as other equipment which sends
electrical pulses to your body.
• Do not use it near any highly flammable substances, gases or explosives.
• Never use accumulators, always use the same types of battery.
• In the initial minutes, carry out the application sitting or lying down in order
to avoid any unnecessary risk of injury in the rare event of a vagal reac-
tion (feeling of weakness). If you start feeling weak, switch the machine off
immediately and put your legs up (approx. 5–10 minutes).
• It is not advisable to apply any enriching creams or ointments to the skin be-
forehand, as this greatly increases electrode wear or else unpleasant current
spikes may occur here.
Damage
• If the device is damaged, do not use it and contact your retailer or the speci-
fied Customer Services address.
• Check the device at regular intervals for signs of wear or damage. If you find
any such signs or if the device was used improperly, you must bring it to the
manufacturer or dealer before it is used again.
• Switch off the device immediately if it is defective or if is not working properly.
• Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to open or repair the machine your-
self! Only have repairs carried out by the customer service department or an
