If one of the free memory MEM programs is selected, the screen will be
similar to the one below; you can set all the characteristics of the stimulation
wave (work frequency and pulse width for TENS memories, contraction,
recovery parameters, ramp, etc. for NEMS memories). The parameter to be
changed is highlighted in white and you can switch between parameters using
the selection keys

Tips on how to adjust the intensity
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation): the intensity should be
adjusted between the threshold of perception and the threshold of pain. The
maximum limit is represented by the moment when the muscles surrounding
the treated area begin to contract. We recommend that you stay under that
limit.
The electrodes must be placed in a square formation around the painful area,
using channel 1 and channel 2 (or channels 3 and 4) as shown in Figure 1.
IMPORTANT
Apply the electrodes in a square formation
above the painful area, keeping a
minimum distance of 4 cm between one
electrode and the other.
