the lead wire.
• Remove the electrodes from the plastic storage sheet and place them on a test area ( the forearm works
well ) 2 - 4 inches apart.
• You may choose to use either the left side, or the right side of the unit, or both, but the electrodes must
be used in pairs to work. That is, you cannot use one electrode from each side of the unit.

TO OPERATE THE PRODUCT:
GETTING STARTED
• High-frequency electronic pulses designed to relieve pain and reduce stress.
• Pre-set massage programs with specific benefits for each muscle group. Each one offers adjustable speed
and intensity.
Determine the area of treatment.
Common areas for treatment include the shoulders, neck, back, legs, wrists, ankles and more. Later, we’ll
cover more of the treatment areas that the PL-009 Electronic Pulse Massager can handle, so that you’re
familiar with treatment strategies.
Attach electrode pads to the desired area.
Once you decide which muscles or joints you wish to treat, attach two of the electrode pads (after
plugging them in to the lead wires. Our high-quality pads attach easily to the treatment area, so there is
no need to press down too hard. The pads were designed to remain attached during the treatment. The
pads are covered with a gel that facilitates the transfer of the micro-currents to your skin. Over time,
these pads will wear out and must be replaced.

all incredible benefits for yourself?

• Always wipe your skin with a cotton swab moistened with rubbing alcohol before attaching the pads. This
will remove the natural oils or any dirt from your skin.
YOU CAN EXTEND THE LIFE OF THE PADS BY FOLLOWING THESE PRACTICES:
• Always replace the pads on the plastic sheet when not in use. The life of the pads can be reduced
significantly if they are exposed to air between uses, or if they touch any other surface, such as clothing or
bedding, for example.
• When the pads begin to lose adhesion, you can extend the life even more by applying a small amount of
TENS gel to the face of the electrode prior to use.
Turn the Power/Intensity switch to 1.
This turns on your device. The letter P should appear on the screen, letting you know that the Electronic
Pulse Massager is ready to begin treatment.
Select an automated massage program.
One of the features of the truMedic PL-009 is the preset massage programs. Each muscle group responds
differently to various electronic pulses, and we’ve organized these programs for your convenience. You
can use ANY mode on ANY area to be treated, these are only suggestions.
Adjust the speed as needed.
Once you’ve selected a massage program, adjust the intensity find the setting that feels best. You have full
control over the speed and frequency of pulses to ensure that you’re getting the desired results.
