 Getting to know your device

What is a digital EMS/TENS unit and what can it do?
Digital EMS/TENS units fall into the electrostimulation device category. They provide three basic functions suitable for combined operation:

1.  Electrical stimulation of nerve tracts (TENS)
2.  Electrical stimulation of muscle tissue (EMS)
3. A massage effect triggered by electrical signals

The unit also features two independent stimulation channels and four self-adhesive electrodes. It offers a wide range of functions for increasing general well-being, pain relief, maintaining physical fitness, relaxation, muscle revitalization and combating tiredness. For these purposes, you can either choose from pre-set programs or specify your own to suit your individual needs.

The principle of electrostimulation devices is based on the imitation of impulses in our bodies that are transferred to nerve and muscle fibres using electrodes via our skin. The electrodes can be applied to many parts of the body; the electrical impulses are completely harmless and virtually painless. In certain applications you will merely notice a slight tingling or vibrating sensation. The electrical impulses that are sent into the tissue influence the transmission
of stimulation into nerves, nerve centers and muscle groups in the application area.
Electrostimulation usually only has an effect after regular applications. With regard to muscles, electrostimulation does not replace regular training. However, it is a sensible, supplementary training element.

TENS, or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, relates to the electrical stimulation of the nerves via the skin. TENS is an effective non-pharmacological method of treating different types of pain that have a variety of causes. It has no side effects if administered correctly. The method has been clinically tested and approved and can be used for simple self-treatment. The pain-relieving or pain-suppressing effect is achieved by inhibiting the transference of pain to nerve fibres (caused mainly by high-frequency impulses) and by increasing the secretion of endorphins in the body. Their effect on the central nervous system reduces the sensation of pain. The method is scientifically substantiated and approved as a form of medical treatment.
Any symptoms that could be relieved using TENS must be checked by your GP. Your doctor will also give you instructions on how to carry out a TENS self-treatment regime.
TENS is clinically tested and approved to treat the following complaints:

• Back pain, particularly in the lumbar/cervical spine area
• Sore joints (e.g. knee, hip and shoulder joints)
•  Neuralgia
• Menstrual cramps in women
• Pain resulting from injury to the musculoskeletal system
• Pain caused by circulatory disorders
• Chronic pain with various causes.

Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is a widespread and generally recognized method and has been used in sports medicine and rehabilitation for years. In sports and fitness, EMS is used to complement conventional muscle training, to increase the performance of muscle groups and to adjust physical proportions to achieve the desired aesthetic results. There are two different types of EMS application: one is for targeted strengthening of the muscles (activating application), and the other is to achieve a relaxing, restful effect (relaxing application).
The activating application involves:

•  Muscle training to increase endurance and/or
•  Muscle training to support the strengthening of specific muscles or muscle groups, and to achieve the desired changes to physical proportions

The relaxing application involves:

•  Muscle relaxation for easing muscle tension
• Improving symptoms of muscular fatigue
• Acceleration of muscle regeneration after high muscle performance (e.g. after a marathon)

Thanks to integrated massage technology, digital EMS/TENS units are also able to relieve muscle tension and combat fatigue with a program based on the sensation and effects of a real massage.

The positioning suggestions and program tables in these instructions for use allow you to quickly and simply determine the corresponding application (depending on the affected area of the body) and set the unit to achieve the desired effects.

Thanks to the two separately adjustable channels, the digital EMS/TENS unit offers you the advantage of being able to set the intensity of the impulses independently from each other for two treatment areas on the body, for example to cover both sides of your body or to evenly stimulate larger areas of tissue. The option to individually set the intensity of each channel also enables you to treat two separate areas of the body simultaneously instead of having to treat the individual areas in turn, which saves you time.

Important notes

The device is not a substitute for medical consultation and treatment. Consult your doctor first if you are experiencing any pain or are suffering from an illness.
WARNING!
To avoid damage to health, we strongly advise against using the digital EMS/TENS unit in the following situations:

•  With implanted electrical devices (such as a pacemaker)
•  In the case of metal implants
•  If you use an insulin pump
• If you have a high temperature (e.g. > 39°C)
• If you have a known or acute cardiac arrhythmia, or disorders of the heart’s impulse and conduction system
• If you suffer from a seizure disorder (e.g. epilepsy)
• If you are pregnant
• If you have cancer
• After an operation, if strong muscle contractions could affect the healing process
  
•  The device must never be used near to the heart.
• The stimulation electrodes must not be placed on any part of the front ribcage (where the ribs and breastbone are located), especially not on the two large pectorals. this can increase the risk of ventricular fibrillation and induce cardiac arrest.
• On the skeletal skull structure, or around the mouth, throat or larynx
•  In the neck/carotid artery area
• In the genital area
•  On acutely or chronically diseased (injured or irritated) skin (e.g. inflamed skin – whether painful or not, reddened skin, rashes,
  e. g. allergies, burns, bruises, swellings, both open and healing wounds, and post-operative scars where the healing process could be affected)
• In humid environments (e.g. in the bathroom) or when bathing or showering
• Do not use after consuming alcohol
•  If connected to a high-frequency surgical device
•  In the case of acute or chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract
•  The stimulation should not be applied above or through the head, directly onto the eyes, covering the mouth, to the front of the neck (especially not to the carotid artery), or with the electrode surfaces placed on the chest and upper back or across the heart.

Before using the device, consult your doctor if any of the following applies to you: 

•  Serious illnesses, in particular if you suspect or have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, a blood coagulation disorder, propensity to thrombo-embolic conditions or recurrent malignant growths
•  Any skin conditions
•  Unexplained chronic pain in any part of the body
•  Diabetes
• Any sensory impairment that reduces the feeling of pain (e.g. metabolic disorders)
• If you are receiving medical treatment  In the event of complaints linked to stimulation treatment
•  If you suffer from persistently irritated skin due to long-term stimulation at the same electrode site

IMPORTANT!
Only use digital EMS/TENS units:

• On adults
• For the intended purpose and as specified in these instructions for use. Improper use can be dangerous.
• For external use
• With the original accessories supplied, which can be re-ordered. Failure to do so invalidates the warranty.

PRECAUTIONS:

• Always pull firmly on electrodes to remove them from the skin to prevent injuries in the unusual case of highly sensitive skin.
• Keep the device away from sources of heat and do not use it in close proximity (approx. 1 m) to shortwave or microwave devices (e.g. mobile phones), as doing so can result in unpleasant current peaks.
• Do not expose the device to direct sunlight or high temperatures.
• Protect the device from dust, dirt and humidity.
• Never immerse the device in water or other liquids.
• The device is suitable for self-treatment.
• For hygiene reasons, the electrodes may only be used on one person.
• If the device does not work properly, or you feel unwell or experience pain, stop using it immediately.
•  Switch off the unit or the respective channel first before removing or relocating electrodes to prevent unintentional stimulation.
•  Do not modify electrodes (e.g. by cutting them). This increases the current intensity, which is potentially hazardous (max. recommended output value for the electrodes is 9 mA/cm², an effective current intensity beyond 2 mA/cm² requires increased awareness).
• Do not use the device whilst asleep, driving a vehicle or operating machinery.
• Do not use whilst undertaking any activity where an unexpected reaction (e.g. strong muscle contractions even at low intensity) could be dangerous.
• Ensure that no metallic objects (e.g. belt buckles or necklaces) come into contact with the electrodes during stimulation. If you are wearing jewellery or have piercings in the area to be treated (e.g. a navel piercing), these must be removed before using the device. Failure to do so could result in spot burns.
•  Keep the device away from children.
• Make sure not to confuse the electrode cables including contacts with your headphones or other devices and do not connect the electrodes to other devices.
• Do not use the device whilst using other devices that transmit electrical impulses into your body.
•  Do not use in the vicinity of highly flammable substances, gases or explosives.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries and always use the same battery types.
•  During the initial few minutes, use the device while sitting or lying down to minimise the risk of injuries as a consequence of isolated cases of vagal responses (feeling of faintness). If you feel faint, immediately switch off the device, lie down and support the legs in an elevated position (approx. 5 – 10 min).
•  Treatment of the skin with moisturising lotions or ointments beforehand is not recommended as this considerably increases the electrode wear and may cause unpleasant current peaks.
• This device is not intended for use by children or people with restricted physical, sensory (e.g. reduced sensitivity to pain) or mental skills or a lack of experience and/or lack of knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person who is responsible for their safety or are instructed by such a person in how to use the device.
• If the adhesive capability of the adhesive electrodes decreases, please replace them immediately. Only use the device again with new adhesive electrodes. Otherwise the unequal adhesion of the adhesive electrodes may lead to skin injuries. Replace the electrodes with new ones after having used them 20 times at the latest.

WARNING!
Do not apply the electrodes to the front wall of the chest, i.e. do not massage the large left and right pectoral muscles.

 Information regarding the positioning of electrodes

It is fundamental to the intended success of electrostimulation applications that electrodes are positioned sensibly.
We recommend that you consult your doctor to establish the ideal electrode positions for your intended application area.
The figure on the display is intended as an initial aid to help you position the electrodes.
The following applies to the selection of electrode positions:
Electrode distance
The larger the distance between electrodes, the larger the stimulated tissue volume. This applies to the area and depth of the tissue volume. At the same time, however, the stimulation intensity of the tissue falls the further the electrodes are apart. As a result, greater distances between electrodes mean a larger tissue volume is stimulated, but less intensively. Consequently, you must increase the impulse intensity to boost stimulation.
The following guideline applies to selection of the electrode distance:

•  Sensible distance: approx. 5 – 15 cm
•  At distances below 5 cm, the unit primarily stimulates surface structures intensively
• At distances in excess of 15 cm, large areas and deep structures are stimulated very weakly

Relationship between electrodes and muscle fiber structures

Adapt the current flow direction to the fiber C structure of the muscle according to the muscle A layer you would like to treat. If you are targeting superficial muscles, position the electrodes in BBB DDD parallel to the fiber structure (A – B / C – D) and if you are targeting deeper layers of tissue, position the electrodes across the fiber structure. You can do this by positioning electrodes as crosses (i.e. diagonally), such as A – D / B – C.

 NOTE:

As part of pain relief treatment (TENS) using the digital EMS/TENS unit and its 2 separately adjustable channels and 2 adhesive electrodes each, it is advisable either to position the electrodes of a channel so that the area affected by the pain is between the electrodes or to position one electrode directly on the area affected by the pain and the other electrode at a minimum distance of 2 – 3 cm.

You may use the electrodes of the second channel to simultaneously treat additional areas affected by pain or use them in conjunction with the electrodes of the first channel to restrict the area affected by pain (position electrodes opposite). In this case, we once again recommend positioning electrodes as crosses.

Tip for the massage function: always use all four electrodes for optimum treatment.

Use the electrodes on skin that is clean and preferably free from hair and grease in order to prolong the life of the electrodes. If required, clean the skin with water and remove hair prior to treatment.

If an electrode should come loose during use, the impulse intensity of both channels is reduced to the lowest level. Apply the electrode again and reset the desired impulse intensity.

Info: Therapy memory cannot be accessed if the Doctor‘s function is activated.

Current parameters

Electrostimulation units operate with the following current settings, which may affect stimulation effects differently, depending on the setting:
Impulse shape
This describes the time function of the electrical impulse.

Time It distinguishes between monophasic and biphasic pulse currents. In monophasic pulse currents, the current flows in one direction and in biphasic pulse currents the electrical impulse alternates its direction.
The digital EMS/TENS unit only provides biphasic pulse currents as these relieve muscles, cause little muscle fatigue and provide safer application.
Impulse frequency
The frequency indicates the number of individual impulses each second and is given in Hz (Hertz).
It can be calculated by determining the cyclic value for the time period. The relevant frequency determines which types of muscle fibres react favourably. Slow-reacting fibres react more easily to lower impulse frequencies up to 15 Hz, whereas fast-reacting fibres only respond from approximately 35 Hz onwards. Impulses of approx. 45 – 70 Hz are linked with constant tension in the muscles and quicker fatigue. Higher impulse frequencies are therefore favourable in strength and maximum power training.

Impulse width
This indicates the duration of an individual impulse in microseconds. The impulse width therefore determines, among other things, the penetration of the electricity, where usually: larger muscle masses require larger impulse widths.

Impulse intensity
Setting the intensity levels depends on the individual sensitivity of each user and is determined by a variety of variables, such as site of application, blood circulation to the skin, skin thickness and the quality of the electrode contact. The setting used should be effective but should never cause an unpleasant sensation, such as pain, at the site of application. While a gentle tingling indicates sufficient stimulation energy levels, any setting that causes pain should be avoided.
During longer applications it may be necessary to make readjustments due to the adjustment processes over time at the site of application.

Cycled impulse parameter variation
In many cases it is necessary to cover the overall tissue structure at the site of application by applying several impulse parameters. In the digital EMS/TENS unit, this is achieved by the provided programs, which automatically make a cyclical impulse parameter change. This also prevents individual muscle groups at the site of application being affected by fatigue.
The digital EMS/TENS unit provides sensible default current parameter settings. With this, you can change the impulse intensity at any time during use. For 6 programs you can also set various parameters for stimulation yourself.

Cleaning and storage Adhesive electrodes

• To ensure that the adhesive electrodes remain adhesive for as long as possible, clean them carefully with a damp, lint-free cloth or clean the underside of the electrodes under lukewarm, running water and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.

2.  The electrodes are worn. This may cause irritated skin as even distribution of the current across the entire area is no longer guaranteed. For this reason, replace the electrodes.

Skin in the treatment area turns red. How to proceed: Immediately stop treatment and wait until your skin has returned to its normal condition. If the redness is under the electrode and disappears quickly, there is no risk – this is caused by the locally stimulated, increased blood flow.
However, consult your doctor before you continue treatment if the skin irritation persists and this is accompanied by an itchy sensation or inflammation. This may be caused by an allergic reaction to the adhesive surface.

• The codes below are printed on batteries containing harmful substances:
  Pb = Battery contains lead,
  Cd = Battery contains cadmium,
  Hg = Battery contains mercury
  

Setting the date and time
It is essential to set the date and time. Otherwise, you will not be able to save your measured values correctly with a date and time and to access them again later.
The time is displayed in the 24-hour format.
To set the date and time, proceed as follows:

• Press the memory button M for at least three seconds.
• The year display will start to flash. Set the year with the function buttons -/+ and confirm with the memory button M.
• Set the month, day, hour and minutes and confirm each setting with the memory button M.

5. Measuring blood pressure

Ensure the device is at room temperature before measuring. The measurement can be performed on the left or right arm.

Attach the cuff
Place the cuff onto the bare upper arm. The circulation of the arm must not be hindered by tight clothing or similar.

The cuff must be placed on the upper arm so that the bottom edge is positioned 2 – 3 cm above the elbow and over the artery. The line should point to the centre of the palm.

Now tighten the free end of the cuff, but make sure that it is not too tight around the arm and close the hook-and-loop fastener. The cuff should be fastened so that two fingers can fit under the cuff.

Now insert the cuff line into the connection for the cuff connector.

This cuff is suitable for you if the index mark ( ) is within the OK range after fitting the cuff on the upper arm.

If the measurement is performed on the right upper arm, the line should be located on the inside of your elbow. Ensure that your arm is not pressing on the line.

Blood pressure may vary between the right and left arm, which may mean that the measured blood pressure values are different. Always perform the measurement on the same arm.

If the values between the two arms are significantly different, please consult your doctor to determine which arm should be used for the measurement.
Now insert the cuff line into the connection for the cuff connector.

Caution: The unit may only be operated with the original cuff. The cuff is suitable for an arm circumference of 22 to 35 cm.
A larger cuff for upper arm circumferences from 30 to 42 cm is available from retailers or the service address under order no. 162.795.

Adopt the correct posture

• Before every measurement, relax for about five minutes. Otherwise deviations can occur.
• You can perform the measurement while sitting or lying. Make sure that the cuff is at heart level.
• To carry out a blood pressure measurement, make sure you are sitting comfortably with your arms and back leaning on something. Do not cross your legs. Place your feet flat on the ground.
• To avoid falsifying the measuring result, it is important to remain still during the measurement and not to speak!

Selecting memory

Press the – or + function button. Select the desired user memory ( ) by pressing the -/+ function button. You have 4 memories with 30 spaces each to store the measurements of 4 different people separately. Confirm your selection with the START/STOP button.

Performing the blood pressure measurement

• As described before, attach the cuff and adopt the posture in which you want to perform the measurement.
• Start the blood pressure monitor with the START/STOP button . After the full-screen display, the most recently stored measurement appears. If there is no measurement in the memory, the unit displays the value “0”.
• The cuff automatically inflates. The cuff’s air pressure is slowly released. If the device already recognise a ten-dency for high blood pressure, it will reinflate and increase the cuff pressure again. As soon as a pulse is found, the pulse symbol is displayed.
• Systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse readings are displayed.
• Measuring can be cancelled at any time by pressing the START/STOP button.
• _ appears if the measurement has not been performed properly. Take note of the chapter on error messages/trouble-shooting in these instructions for use and repeat the measurement.
• The measurement is automatically stored.
• To switch off, press the START/STOP button .
  If you forget to turn off the unit, it will switch off automatically after approx. 1 minute.

Wait at least 5 minutes before taking another measurement.

6. Evaluating results

Cardiac arrhythmia:
This unit can identify potential disruption of the heart rhythm when measuring and if necessary, indicates this after the measurement with the symbol . This can be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is an illness in which the heart rhythm is abnormal because of flaws in the bioelectrical system that regulates the heartbeat. The symptoms (skipped or premature heart beats, pulse being slow or too fast) can be caused by factors such as heart disease, age, physical make-up, excess stimulants, stress or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only be determined through an examination by your doctor. If the symbol is shown on the display after the measurement has been taken, it should be repeated. Please ensure that you rest for 5 minutes  beforehand and do not speak or move during the measurement. If the symbol appears frequently, please consult your doctor. Selfdiagnosis and treatment based on the measurements can be dangerous. Always follow your GP’s instructions.

Risk indicator:
The measurements can be classified and evaluated in accordance with the following table. However, these standard values serve only as a general guideline, as the individual blood pressure varies in different people and different age groups etc.
It is important to consult your doctor regularly for advice. Your doctor will tell you your individual values for normal blood pressure as well as the value above which your blood pressure is classified as dangerous.
The bar chart on the display and the scale on the unit show which category the recorded blood pressure values fall into. If the values of systole and diastole fall into two different categories (e.g. systole in the High normal category and diastole in the Normal category), the graphical classification on the device always shows the higher category; for the example given this would be High normal.

7. Saving, displaying and deleting measurements

• The results of every successful measurement are stored together with the date and time. If there are more than 30 measurements, the oldest measurements are lost.
• Press the – or + function button. Select the desired user memory ( ) by pressing the -/+ function button. Confirm your selection with the START/STOP button.
• If you press the memory button M, the average value of all the stored measured values in the user memory will be displayed. If you press the memory button M again, the average value of the morning measurements for the last 7 days will be displayed. (morning: 5.00 – 9.00, display  ). If you press the memory button M again, the average value of the evening measurements for the last 7 days will be displayed. (evening: 18.00 – 20.00, display ). If you continue to press the memory button M, the most recent individual measured values are displayed in turn with the date and time.
• You can delete the memory by pressing and holding the memory button M for 3 seconds.
• To switch off, press the START/STOP button .
• If you forget to switch off the unit, it will switch off automatically after 1 minute.

8. Error message/trouble shooting

In the event of errors, the error message _ appears on the display.
Error messages may appear if:

• systolic or diastolic pressure could not be measured (or appears on the display)
• systolic or diastolic pressure was outside the measurement range ( or  Lo appears on the display)
• the cuff is fastened too or loosely ( or appears on the display)
•  the pump pressure is higher than 300 mmHg ( appears on the display)
•  pumping up takes longer than 160 seconds ( appears on the display)

2. What you should know about using this thermometer
Before using a forehead thermometer, an ear thermometer or a conventional rod thermometer, the following should be noted: The different thermometers listed above are suitable for measuring body temperature in different parts of the body: forehead thermometer: measurement only on the forehead, ear thermometer: measurement only in the ear, rod thermometer: rectal (in the back passage), axillary (under the arm) or oral measurement (in the mouth). The temperature varies depending on the part of the body where the measurement is taken. The difference in healthy persons between different parts of the body can be between 0.2 – 1°C. The approximate normal temperature ranges are as follows:

• forehead temperature – measured with a forehead thermometer: 35.8 °C to 37.6 °C.
• Ear temperature, measured with an ear thermometer: 36.0 °C to 37.8 °C.
• Rectal temperature, measured with a conventional thermometer: 36.3 °C to 37.8 °C.
• orally measured temperature – measured with a conventional thermometer: 36.0 °C to 37.4 °C.

Beurer-Tip:

Temperatures measured with different thermometers cannot be compared with one another. You should therefore tell your doctor or bear in mind if you are diagnosing yourself what thermometer you used to take your temperature and in what part of the body.

The temperature of a healthy person is also influenced by the following factors:

• The person’s individual metabolism.
• Age (body temperature is higher in babies and small children and falls with increasing age. Greater temperature fluctuations occur faster and more often in children).
• Clothing.
• The outside temperature.
• The time of day (body temperature is lower in the morning and increases during the day towards evening).
• Preceding physical and, to a lesser extent, mental activity.

Beurer-Tip:
Taking the temperature gives a measurement that provides information about a person’s current body temperature. If you are uncertain about interpreting the results or if the result is abnormal (e.g. fever), you should consult your doctor.
This also applies in the case of slight temperature changes if there are other symptoms of illness such as agitation, severe sweating, flushed skin, fast pulse rate, tendency to collapse etc.

3. Description of device

4. Functions

This infrared thermometer is for measuring
– temperature at a person’s forehead,
– surface temperature of objects and liquids,
– ambient temperatures.

The thermometer also offers additional functionalities:
– 9 memory locations for simple plotting of changes in temperature,
– date and time, also with all stored temperatures measured,
– Optical and acoustic fever alarm at temperatures over 37.5 °C,
– switchable to °C and °F.

5. Operation
Remove the protective cap and switch on the thermometer with the “ ” button. After a short self-test and two short beep tones, the thermometer is ready for forehead temperature measurement.

5.1 Setting time and date
With the thermometer switched on, hold the “ ” button depressed for 5 seconds. As soon as the “SET” symbol appears in the display, you can use the “SCAN” button to set in turn the 12 or 24 hour mode, hour, minute, year, month and day (‚24‘ appears in the display for the 24-hour mode). Confi rm the values set in each case with the “ ” button.
5.2 Batteries
The Type 3V CR2032 battery is already fi tted and depending on usage has a life of around 3000 measurements. When the battery gets weak, the battery warning symbol appears . It is still possible to measure the temperature. Battery must be replaced. When the battery symbol fl ashes , the battery must be exchanged by sliding the battery compartment cover off to the rear. Switch off the device, press the batttery compartment lock with a sharp object and slide the battery compartment cover downwards at the same time.

Insert a new battery of the same type with the positive pole at the top. Close the battery compartment cover again. Used batteries should not go into domestic refuse. You are legally obliged to dispose of the batteries correctly. Dispose of them through your electrical dealer or local recycling centre.
Note: you will fi nd these symbols on batteries containing toxic substances: Pb = battery contains lead, Cd = battery contains cadmium, Hg = battery contains mercury. The battery in this device does not contain toxic substances.

6. During use
Always ensure that the sensor is clean and undamaged. Switch on the thermometer with the “ ” button.

6.1 Forehead measurement
After a short self-test and two short beeps, the thermometer is ready for measuring the temperature at the forehead/temple. The infrared thermometer is in ‘Forehead thermometer’ mode. This is indicated by the symbol .
Note that
– the thermometer must have been at least 30 minutes in the room in which the measurement is made,
– the measuring result may be falsifi ed by physical activity, fundamentally increased sweat formation on the forehead,
consumption of vasoconstrictive medications and skin irritations,
– the forehead or temple must be free of sweat and cosmetics.

Apply the thermometer to the left or right temple and press the “SCAN” button. Move the thermometer to and over the temple. During the measurement you can hear short beeps signalling that the thermometer has found a new maximum temperature. The end of the measuring time is signalled with a long beep. Release the “SCAN” button. You can now read off the temperature measured. The LED is also illuminated according to the test result: a green LED indicates that body temperature is within the normal range, but a red LED lights up with measured values over 37.5 °C, i.e. it is a fever alarm. The measurement normally takes from 5 to 8 seconds, but can take up to 30 seconds.
The thermometer signals with two short beeps and a no longer flashing forehead symbol that the thermometer is ready for a new measurement.

6.2 Saving the temperatures measured
The temperature last measured, i.e. only the last temperature of a series measured, is saved automatically as soon as the thermometer is switched off. There are 9 memory locations available for this.
You can call up the last temperature measured with the “POWER ” button. The date and time are also shown. The LED does not support any requests for stored measured values. If you continue to hold down the “ POWER ” , you will enter a special measuring mode, in which the thermometer will not make a correct measurement. In this event, allow the thermometer to switch off automatically after about 1 minute and then switch it on again.

6.3 Surface temperatures
When you want to measure surface temperatures with this infrared thermometer, you must change to the “SCAN” mode.
With the thermometer switched on (standard forehead thermometer mode) keep the “ ” button depressed and at the same time press the “SCAN” button. This mode is indicated with the symbol. If you keep the “SCAN” button depressed, the surface temperature measured is continuously displayed. You can apply the sensor tip directly to the surface to be measured or measure at close range (do not immerse in liquids).

What you should know about using this thermometer
There are different thermometers for taking temperature measurements in different parts of the body: Ear/forehead thermometer (this thermometer, for measuring in the ear or on the forehead area) Rod thermometer (for rectal fin the back passage), axillary [under the arm] or oral measurement [fin the mouth]) Taking the temperature gives a measurement that provides information about a person’s current body temperature. If you are uncertain about interpreting the results or if the value is abnormal, please consult your doctor. This also applies in the case of slight temperature changes if there are other symptoms of illness such as agitation, severe sweating, flushed skin, fast pulse rate, tendency to collapse, etc. Temperatures measured with different thermometers cannot be compared with one another. You should therefore tell your doctor (or bear in mind if you are diagnosing yourself) what thermometer you used to take your temperature and in what part of the body. The temperature of a healthy person is influenced by various factors: individual metabolic rate, which depends on the person, age (body temperature of infants and small children is higher and decreases as they age). Greater tem perature fluctuations occur faster and more often in children, e.g. due to growth spurts), their clothing, the ambient temperature, the time of day (body temperature is lower in the morning and increases throughout the day towards evening), the preceding physical and, to a lesser extent, mental activity. The temperature varies depending on the part of the body where the measurement is taken. The difference can be between 0,4°F(0,2C) and 1.8 (1C) for a healthy person, Ihe normal temperature ranges are as follows:

• on the forehead: 96.4°F- 99.7°F (35.8’C-37.6°C), with a forehead thermometer,
• in the ear 96.8°F- 100°F (36.0°C-37.8°C), with an ear thermometer,
• in the back passage: 97.3°F -100°F (36.3°C- 37.8°C), with a conventional thermometer,
• in the mouth: 96.8°F-99.3°F (36.0°C-37.4°C). with a conventional thermometer,

Measuring

• Before each use, please check that the lens is intact. If it is damaged, please contact your retailer or the service address. Bear in mind that the thermometer needs to have been in the room in which the measurement is taken for at least 30 minutes before use.
• Some people produce different readings in their left and right ear. In order to record temperature changes, always measure a person’s temperature in the same ear,
  The ear thermometer may be used by children only under adult supervision. Measurement is usually possible over the age of 6 months. In infants under 6 months, the ear canal is still very narrow so the temperature of the eardrum often cannot be recorded and the result displayed is often too low.
• The measurement must not be taken in an ear affected by inflammatory diseases (e.g. discharging pus or secre- tion), after possible ear injuries (e.g. eardrum damage) or in the healing period after operative procedures. In all of these cases, please consult your doctor.
• Use of the thermometer on different persons can be inappropriate in the event of certain acute infectious dis- eases because of the possible spread of germs despite cleaning and disinfection. If you have any doubts, please consult your doctor.
• This thermometer may only be used without a disposable protective cover.
• lf you have been lying on one ear for some time, the temperature is slightly raised. Wait a little while or measure in the other ear.
• As ear wax can affect the measurement, vou should clean the ear before measuring if necessarv.

Make sure that the sensor tip and also the ear canal are clean. As the ear canal is slightly curved, you have to pull the ear slightly up and backwards before inserting the sensor tip. This is important so that the sensor tip can be pointed directly at the eardrum. Insert the sensor tip carefully and press the O button for 1 second. Release the O button. The end of the measuring time is signalled with a short beep and the measured value appears on the display. If the measured value is within the normal range (< 100.4F/38°C), the green LED lights up for 3 seconds. If the measured value is higher ( 100.4°F/38°C, high temperature), the red LED is illuminated.

Measuring body temperature on the forehead
Please note that the forehead/temples must be free from sweat and cosmetics and that taking vasoconstrictive medication and skin irritations can distot the result when measuring tempera- Ture on the forehead. Press the O button for 1 second to switch the thermometer on. Following a successful self test, the device emits two short beeps. Place the measuring head with the forehead/cover cap fitted on the temples, hold down the Forehead button and move the thermometer smoothly over the forehead to the other temple Then release the Forehead button. The end of the measuring time is signalled with a short beep and the measured value appears on the display. If the measured value is within the normal range (< 100.4°F/38°C), the green LED lights up for 3 seconds. If the measured value is higher (e 100.4°F/38°C, high temperature), the red LED is illuminated. Measuring surface temperature
Press the O button for 1 second to switch the thermometer on. Following a successful self test, the device emits two short beeps. Then press the and O buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds to switch to the Object temperature mode.The symbol appears in the display. Press and hold the O button or Forehead and point the sensor tip towards the object or liquid to be measured (never immerse in liquids), maintaining a distance of 3 cm. Release the O button or Forehead. The end of the measuring time is signalled with a short beep and the measured value appears on the display. Please note that the displayed temperature is the measured and not the adapted surface temperature. It is not the same as the forehead/ear temperature, To switch back to the Ear/Forehead thermometer mode, press the and O buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds unti the symbol disappears and there is a short beep. By switching the thermometer off and on again, it automatically exits the Object temperature mode. The temperature last measured, i.e. only the last value of a series of measurements, is automatically stored as soon as the thermometer switches itself off or is switched off. There are 10 storage spaces available for this. If you do not take any further measurements, the thermometer switches itself off automatically after approx. one minute after the measured values have been displayed,

Changing the batteries

When the batteries get weak, the battery warning symbol appears t is still possible to measure temperature. The batteries must be replaced. When the battery symbol flashes and Lo appears in the display, the batteries must be replaced. f the batteries are too flat, then the thermometer will switch off automatically.

1.  Loosen the screw on the battery compartment lid and pull the lid off downwards,

About Shiatsu massage

Shiatsu is a form of body massage which was originally developed in Japan around 100 years ago. It is based on ideas anchored in traditional Chinese medicine, in particular the meridian system, i.e. the paths in the human body along which energy is conveyed.
The aim of any Shiatsu massage is to promote the physical, emotional and mental wellbeing the person being treated. To do this, energy blocks and bottlenecks in the meridians need to be dissolved and the self-regulating ability of the body needs to be stimulated. Shiatsu therapists achieve this by exercising pressure in flowing movements along the meridians. Although Shiatsu can be literally translated as “finger pressure”, practitioners also use the heels of their hands, their elbows, and knees as well as their fingers. In the process, the therapist will use his or her full body weight in order to generate the required pressure.

Initial use

Uncoil the cable fully. Place the device on a flat, firm, level and water-insensitive surface or on a table.
Use the measuring cup to fill the device‘s water container with water. Do not exceed the maximum filling level.
You should never fill the container directly under running water but only use the measuring cup that comes with it. The water volume at maximum filling level is enough for about 20 minutes use.
Do not use oils, herbs or other aromatic substances as a substitute for water but only added to adequate water filling.
As well as the facial mask, there is also a special attachment for the nose.
Fix the desired steam mask onto the basic unit by turning it.
Ensure that the mask engages firmly with the knobs.

Use

This device is intended only for use on the human face.
Using the facial sauna provides an ideal basis for cosmetic facial care. The skin of your face is prepared optimally for further treatments such as deep cleansing, moisturising, face masks etc.
Beauty salons very often begin facial treatments with a steam treatment. The invigorating steam increases the skin circulation, the pores are opened and impurities are removed more easily.
You can thus provide the perfect basis for every kind of facial care. The skincare products penetrate deep into the skin through the opened pores, thus optimising their action.

Using the facial sauna

Uncoil the cable fully. Plug into the socket. Then turn the switch clockwise until the red indicator lights up. Turn the switch first to position “2“ in order to speed up heating. After about 5 minutes, steam begins to rise. Turn the switch back to position “1“ to reduce the steam output.

Adjustable steam outlet:
You can also regulate the strength of the steam outlet by turning the steam disc.
When the steam outlet is closed, the steam comes out of the steam valve which is located on the nback of the device or mask. The water heating phase can also be shortened by closing the steam disc.
To avoid burns, never touch the steam outlet directly and ensure that the steam can come out of the valve freely.
Now sit down in front of the device. Bend forward until your face is above the mask.

Warning

• Do not hold the device in your hand and do not adjust it during operation until it has cooled down.
• You could sustain burn injuries from hot water.
• If the steam effect is perceived as too hot, increase the distance to avoid burns.

Warning

• The exiting steam is hot!
• During the treatment, you should always turn the switch back to position “1“.
• Do not position your face too close to the mask, as otherwise the high intensity of the steam can cause burns or redness.
• When you want to stop using the device or the water has evaporated, turn the switch back to position “0“. The device‘s indicator goes out.
• Rinse your face with cold water after use. Then apply a face cream or mask. The opened pores let the active ingredients penetrate deep into the skin.
• Do not use the facial sauna for more than 20 minutes per day. Using it 2–3 times a week is recommended.

Use of medicinal herbs, oils and other aromatic substances

The aroma attachment enables you to use medicinal herbs, oils and other aromatic substances as part of an aromatherapy treatment. This is the best way for medicinal herbs, oils and other aromatic substances that mix with the steam to exert their effect. However, no solutions containing salt should be used.
Only use medicinal herbs, oils and other aromatic substances that are intended and suitable for use with a steam mask and are licensed for this by the producer of these substances.

Use:
Open the lid of the aroma attachment. Put a few drops of the oil on a cotton wool ball. Put in the cotton wool ball and then close the aroma attachment.
Important: Please do not fill fragrances directly in the water containers; this may cause a fault in the device. Failure to comply will result in voiding of the warranty.

Using the nose/mouth steam mask

As the mucous membrane of the human nose is very sensitive, never use the device on position “2“ when using with the nose/mouth steam mask. Do not keep your nose too close to the mask during use.
The treatment should not last more than 10 minutes per day and should be done 2–3 times a week at the most.
Use as described under 7.2.

Cleaning and maintenance

Unplug the device. Let it cool for about 10–15 minutes before taking the steam mask off the basic unit by turning it anticlockwise. Empty the water container by holding it upside down.
Clean grease and chalk deposits after each use with a commercially available decalcification agent suitable for aluminium.
Use a soft and slightly moistened cloth to clean the surface of the device and the steam mask and then wipe the surface dry.

• Do not use harsh agents (e.g. alcohol, acetone, benzine or abrasives) to clean the plastic parts.
• Unplug before cleaning.
• Do not use any sharp or pointed objects for cleaning.
• Do not immerse the device in water.

Disposal

For environmental reasons, do not dispose of the device in the household waste at the end of its useful life. Dispose of the unit at a suitable local collection or recycling point. Dispose of the device in accordance with EC Directive – WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment). If you have any questions, please contact the local authorities responsible for waste disposal.
