Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues encountered while using the TENS 7000 Rechargeable. It provides potential causes and solutions to help you quickly resolve problems and ensure continuous, effective pain management.
Addressing a Blank Screen Issue
If your TENS 7000 Rechargeable unit displays a blank screen and the buttons are unresponsive, it could indicate a hardware malfunction. First, ensure the device is adequately charged by connecting it to a power source. If charging doesn’t resolve the issue, try power cycling the device.
If the screen remains blank and the buttons are still unresponsive, it may point to an internal failure. In such cases, check if your device is still under warranty. Contact Compass Health Brands customer support for repair or replacement options. Attempting unauthorized repairs may void the warranty. Note that the manual does not provide specific troubleshooting steps for a blank screen with non-functioning buttons.
Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance ensures longevity. Clean electrodes after use. Store in a cool, dry place. Recharge monthly if not used frequently. Replace electrodes when they lose adhesiveness for optimal performance.
Cleaning and Storage Recommendations
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your TENS 7000 rechargeable unit, proper cleaning and storage practices are essential. Always disconnect the device from the power source before cleaning. Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe down the unit and lead wires, avoiding excessive moisture that could damage the internal components. Never immerse the device in water or any other liquid.
For the electrodes, gently clean the adhesive surface with a small drop of water, allowing them to air dry thoroughly before storing. This can help to reconstitute the gel and extend their lifespan. However, this should only be done once, as repeated washing will degrade the adhesive.
When not in use, store the TENS 7000 unit and its accessories in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the device in its original packaging or a protective case to prevent dust and damage. Ensure the lead wires are properly coiled and secured to avoid tangling or breakage.
