ActiPatch Musculoskeletal Pain Relief Pulsed Shortwave Therapy Device 12cm

One device with a 12cm loop antenna and a 110 cm² treatment area. The device weighs 9.5g and is powered by a CR2032 lithium battery. A green LED indicates when it is switched on.

• To activate, remove the white tab from the back, then hold the silver on/off button for 1 to 2 seconds and release. The green LED should light up. If it does not, repeat the activation step.
• Place the loop over the painful area, with the source of pain centred inside it. Position the device as close to the skin as possible; it can also work through light clothing.

• If using adhesive tape, clean and thoroughly dry the skin first to remove dirt, oils and lotions. Replace the adhesive every 3 days or sooner if it loses its grip.
• To switch off, hold the silver button for 1 to 2 seconds until the green LED goes out.
• Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap after use, when soiled or to remove adhesive residue.
