Rechargeable and take care of what follows:
WARNING
• Please reference the EMC Guidance at the end of the manual regarding
special precautions and electromagnetic environment needed when using
the device.
• DO NOT apply pulsed electrostatic fields when the patient is in the bath
or shower.
10
• DO NOT apply pulsed electrostatic fields while the patient is driving,
operating machinery, or during any activity in which pulsed electrostatic
fields can put the patient at risk of injury.
• DO NOT use this unit for purposes other than treatment indicated in this
manual.
• DO NOT use the TENS 7000® Rechargeable with high frequency surgical
equipment on the patient. It will cause unstable output when the unit is
close to the high frequency equipment (in the same room and without
shield).
• Please stop using the battery when it appears abnormal, such as bulging,
cracked housing, or any shape changes.
• DO NOT put the device in fire or water. If the batteries are not properly
disposed, it may cause a battery explosion.
11
• If the unit is not functioning properly or you feel discomfort, immediately
stop using the unit. If you feel any discomfort with your body or skin,
consult the doctor and follow his/her instructions.
• The adhesive electrodes are for single patient use only, DO NOT use on
another patient, to prevent infection.
• DO NOT secure electrodes with none or little viscosity, using any other
adhesive method such as, tape, Band-Aid, wraps, etc. Electrodes MUST
be replaced if not attached completely to the treatment area, including
lifting edges.
• DO NOT use this device while sleeping. The main device may malfunction
or overheat, or the electrodes may move to an unexpected region or
potentially disconnect and cause harm to the patient.
CAUTION
• This is a Class II medical device but Federal law allows these devices to be
sold over-the-counter (no prescription needed).

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
1. To keep the device clean, use a soft and dry cloth for dust or a soft
damp cloth for any dirt and smudges. DO NOT use any cleaning
solutions to clean the device or the electrodes.
2. DO NOT use or store the device where there are magnetic fields or
electric waves (near TV set or speakers).
3. DO NOT place the devices in areas of high temperature, high
humidity, or under direct sunlight.
4. Keep the device out of reach of children.
5. All worn accessories should be disposed of according to your local
regulations.
For electrodes:
1. Unplug the output cord from the output socket at the top of the
device after each use. Place electrodes on the protective liner for
storage. NEVER fold the electrodes.
2. Between uses, store the electrodes in the reusable bag in a shady
place. Storage temperature: +5°C~+27°C (41~86°F) and humidity of
40%~70%. No need to sterilize.
22
3. Never apply the electrodes to any other surface other than your
skin. If the electrodes become soiled or dirty, the adhesive quality
may decrease. In this case, moisten the surface of the electrode with
one tiny drop of water and wipe away the dirt. This may allow one
additional use of the electrode, only if the electrode is completely
adhered to the treatment area with no lifting. If there is any lifting of
the edges, replace with a new electrode. If an electrode is used with
poor connection to the patient, it could cause a shock or burn.
NOTE: Too much water will result in a loss of adhesion on the
electrode.
4. The life of the electrodes varies depending on skin conditions,
storage, amount of use, type of stimulation, and stimulation site.
Electrode life may be extended by carefully following this Instruction
for Use. Expired electrodes are to be disposed of and do not harm
environment.
5. When the electrodes dry out and do not stick, replace with new
pads that are OTC 510K cleared and compatible with TENS 7000®
Rechargeable, with smallest area of 4cm2.
WARNING: The electrodes are intended for single patient use only!
3. Storage
CAUTION
DO NOT store in a damp area. Dampness may affect the device and
cause rust.
