OMRON PM800 Total Power + Heat™ TENS Unit User Guide
HOW THE DEVICE WORKS
How does the device work?
The OMRON Total Power + Heat is an innovative device that relieves chronic, acute*, and arthritic pain through the pain relief of TENS and the soothing comfort of heat. Physical therapists have been using the combination of heat and TENS for decades. Scientific theory suggests that TENS therapy may work in several ways:
- Gentle electrical pulses move through the skin to nearby nerves to block or shut out the pain message from ever reaching the brain from the source of the pain.
- Gentle electrical pulses increase the production of the body’s natural painkillers, such as endorphins.
- Blood circulation improves as muscles contract and relax with the flow of the electrical stimulation.
* Acute pain refers to sore or achy muscles due to strain from exercise or normal household and work activities.

Assembling Steps
Prepare pads
Attach the cord plug into the bottom left side of the device. Place the pads (dark side up) onto a flat surface.
Note: Do not turn the power on before placing the pads on the body
CAUTION
- Before use, inspect the cord with pads for open wires or any damage. If damaged, DO NOT use it and replace it immediately. The damaged cord with pads may cause skin burns or a fire.
Assemble gels.
For first-time use, remove the gels from the sealed plastic bag. Note: The pads and the gels must be used together for safety and effectiveness. Clean and dry the affected area so it’s free of all lotions/oils/sweat.
Place gels onto the pads.
Each gel has two plastic films. Remove the non-printed side of plastic films and place gels squarely onto the dark side of the pads. Make sure the gel lays evenly and securely with no bubbles, bending or missing pieces. Check for damage and check the adhesion before each therapy session. The “SKIN” printed side of plastic films are on top.
STORING THE PADS ON THE PAD HOLDER
Remove the plastic film and place the adhesive side of the gel on either side of the pad holder.
