I don’t feel sensation on the pads, what can I do?

Make sure the leads wires are correctly connected to the ports of the unit and are firmly clipped to the electro pads. Slowly turn up the intensity level to gauge if this is the issue. If it is not, contact support@massagetherapyconcepts.com.

Why do the pads not stick?

The electro pads lose their stickiness over time and if they are not properly cleaned or stored. If the user's skin contains lotions, oils
and sweat this will effect the "stickiness" of the pads.

How do I clean the electrode pads?

To clean the electrode pads, do not use soap and do not touch the sticky part of the pad with your fingers. Wash the pads with cold water directly under the sink and wait for them to dry; then place them onto the pad holders.You should be able to get about 25-30 uses out of each electrode pad.
