Troubleshooting
If the unit is turned on and the lights flash orange, please make sure that the leadwire cable is firmly plugged into the BioWaveGO unit and into the pain relief pads, and that the pain relief pads have good adhesion to clean skin.
Do not turn on unit until Step 6
1.
Make sure the BioWaveGO is charged using the charger provided. The green LED bars indicate how much charge there is. Unplug the charger before use.
2.
Connect the pad wires to the lead wire by pushing them together.
3.
Check the picture guide below to see where to place the pads to relieve your pain.
4.
Clean your skin with a damp cloth.
5.
Lift the pads off their plastic guards (do not pull the wire) and apply them to the skin, ensuring they are stuck down. With experience you can position the pads to meet your needs, but we suggest: One pad over the pain the other nearby or both pads over two sources of pain (at least two fingers apart – they must not touch). Pads may be placed directly over or in the proximity of implanted metal hardware including total joint replacements, rods, plates, screws, anchors and pins.
6.
Plug the lead wire into the BioWaveGO with a click.
7.
Press the power button. The LED bars will flash green and the unit will beep.
8.
Press the + button to start The LED bars will flash Blue. Press repeatedly to increase stimulation. Use a level feels strong but not painful.
If the LED bars flash orange and the unit beeps, check:
BioWaveGO pad placements are different from TENS and other conventional electrical stimulation. The BioWave active electrical field forms beneath and surrounding each pad. As a result, pads need to be placed directly over specific locations of pain.
1. TWO LOCATIONS OF PAIN –
each pad should be placed directly
over a painful area
2. ONE LOCATION OF PAIN –
one pad is placed directly over a
single location of pain; the second pad
is placed over a bony area which is a
comfortable location to receive
stimulation
3. Pads must not touch each other when
the unit is turned on – one inch is the
minimum spacing
4. Pads are reusable but must be tacky
to the touch. If not, please use a new
set of pads
5. Pads can typically be reused 8-10 times
