Can I turn this on using only EMS and not TENS? Can I then turn it on for TENS only and no EMS? Or is it always a combo of both?

I found this product unable to replicate the steady pulsations that TENS units provide. That is what I was seeking... Perhaps I was unable to understand the butchered english in the instructions, which are obviously transliterated from Chinese... The only effect I could achieve was a recurring, ramped pulse of varying frequency and intensity. Not what I was looking for. Perhaps I need to experiment further on my own arthritis; but the initial trials were very disappointing for my lady's leg pains. Wish I could be more help.. pp

It probably depends on the Model # of the TENS Unit and the voltage/battery type requirements. If the battery voltage needs to be 9 Volts consistently for the unit to work and Alkaline batteries are recommended, you may have problems with these rechargeables, since the fully charged voltage is 8.4 Volts and drops to ~8.1 Volts as they discharge. This hasn't been a problem in my applications, but might be if the higher output voltage is needed to operate the TENS. I think I've seen others who have used it in TENS units with no problems, but again, it may depend on your particular model #. I don't have personal experience with these units, so I'll request others to respond and help out. It probably depends on the Model # of the TENS Unit and the voltage/battery type requirements.

Hi Eddie. Unfortunately, You will need to turn it back on yourself after a power outage. Have a great day!Vermin

Easy to use switch. First press gives low intensity. Second press within three seconds gives you high intensity. This works using either a momentary press of the tailcap switch or if you click it to the ON position, then off and then click ON again. Hope this helps.

Its really self explanatory. . . Plug it in. Middle button is power button. Starting from the upper left corner going clockwise, you've got the "rotate" button (you can stop the fan rotation when its pointing in any direction), then you have the "+/-" button that sets the auto set point (it has a pretty broad spectrum, it'll turn off once it reaches the threshold you choose, then once the room gets like, 6 degrees colder, it'll turn back on), then its the "High/Low" button (for how much more you want it to blow; if you want the "auto" do not press this button, it'll turn that option off), Then you have the "timer" option, (you can set the fan to stay on for intervals, starting at an hour, good if you're going to bed). If the "auto" button is on you'll have an A on the digital interface. There are red and orange flames on the interface depending on if its high or low. The red dot in the corner stays on as long as it's plugged in. If you are NOT using your heater tower for a long period of time, I suggest unplugging it. It did ungodly things to my electric bill (ie $70 to $140 after my first month of using it; totally worth it to me because I moved to the East Coast from AZ and just can't handle the cold).

The sensitivity setting is a function of what you are trying to do: 1) If you are simply trying to determine if a socket is "hot", then the sensitivity should be set to "insensitive" 2) If you are trying to trace a "hot" wire that is behind a drywall, then the sensitivity should be increased to "more sensitive". I am not absolutely certain, but I had difficulty on an exterior wall of a very old building which I suspect had lead based paint (or there was some other source of interference). Anyway, I was unsuccessful regardless of the sensitivity setting. The audio beep is definitely a must have feature. I gave the Sperry device 5 stars and have recommended it to others. Note that I do not wire homes professionally and have limited experience with such tools. Not that I am suggesting you purchase more items, but I am compelled to mention that there is a GFI Outlet checker that is a must have if you are re-wiring or replacing a circuit breaker box.

The instructions list this item: Voltage- AC110 / 60 HzRated Power: 20WI can tell you that I like the second setting better. Only use for about 15 minutes at a time and it's all you need to relaxe tight muscles.I advise everyone to read the enclosed instruction booklet so that you know how to operate it safely.I hope this helps!

Yes, I set it to go on and off when I go to work. I set it from 10:00 to 12:00 and then again from 2:00 to 4:00. (They only come with two sets of pins but you can always order more.) When I get home I switch it to On and set it back to Auto when I leave in the morning. I saved a 1/3 on my electric bill not leaving it running all day.

By having the "S" just means it is the more powerful of the 2. Dialing it down to the #1 setting is still pretty effective. Its like a strong static shock. And like I said, try it on yourself. (in your hand) so you know what your dog is experiencing. Better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it. For the extra money it is well worth it..

No sweat...most important step that most people skip is hook up to battery with no less than #4 welding cable. # 2 is what i used and never had an issue powering anything. If you cheat on this, it will kick out on you constantly. Auto parts store will have dual batt terminals for a few bucks for hook up. Sweet unit...:)

You can set it up for one shot operation, which sounds like what you want. I know it can be triggered with a switch or something external, but I'm not using it like that so I'm not sure how that is set up.

I'm not sure. I had to return it because we needed a dual stimulator. Tens is for pain only. The one we purchased is for pain & muscle movement.

Just turn it on and leave it on. Use the control dial for the different speeds..........very simple

I have to agree its a bit hard to turn on. But I usually turn it on before I put them on my head and before I get in the pool. I haven't had the "zap mode" problem though.

The Slendertone Revive has 5 settings: warm up, strength, endurance, and 3 active recovery. I guess the technology used is EMS

Good heavens, at $5.95 & free shipping, what do you think you're going to get? Read the ad closely, and order what it lists. You will need to order a tens unit separately. Check for them here on Amazon. You probably won't find a better price. I found one for about $30-35.00. You have to really look though. Electrode pads are cheap enough, as evidenced by this tru-medic ad. Oh, BTW, the pads and the tens unit don't have to be the same brand.
