SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS

DO NOT USE THIS UNIT UNDER THESE CONDITIONS

Consult with your physician before using this unit. The unit may cause lethal rhythm disturbances in certain susceptible individuals. If you have had a recent surgical procedure, the stimulation may disrupt the healing process.

Before using your unit, inspect these things.

  1. The cord is not broken.
  2. The pad gel is not damaged.
  3. The electrode cord connection is not broken.
  4. Unit is intact and working.
  5. There is no battery leakage.

DO NOT USE ON THESE INDIVIDUALS

  • Pregnant women
  • Do not use on children or infants because the device has not been evaluated for pediatric use
  • Keep out of the reach of young children because the electrode cord could cause strangulation
  • Persons incapable of expressing their thoughts or intentions.
  • Persons incapable of operating the unit by themselves.
  • Use with caution if you have a tendency to bleed internally, such as following an injury or fracture.
  • If you have suspected or diagnosed heart disease, you should follow precautions recommended by your physician.
  • If you have suspected or diagnosed epilepsy, you should follow precautions recommended by your physician
  • Use caution if stimulation is applied over the menstruating uterus.

NEVER APPLY THE PADS TO THESE BODY AREAS:

  • The head, the mouth, or any area of the face.
  • The neck or any area of the throat because this could cause severe muscle spasms resulting in closure of the airway, difficulty in breathing, or adverse effects on heart rhythm or blood pressure.
  • Do not use it near the heart, or on the genital area.
  • Both sides of the thorax simultaneously (lateral or front and back), or across your chest because the introduction of electrical current may cause rhythm disturbances which could be lethal.
  • On the calves of both legs at the same time because this may cause cardiac disturbance.
  • On the bottom of both feet at the same time because this may cause cardiac disturbance. Open wounds or rashes or over swollen, red, infected, or inflamed areas or skin eruptions (such as varicose veins, phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, and thrombosis), or on top of or close to cancerous lesions, or over areas of skin that lack normal sensation.

DO NOT USE THIS UNIT DURING THESE ACTIVITIES

  • When in the bath or shower;
  • While sleeping;
  • While driving, operating machinery, or during any activity in which electrical stimulation can put you at risk of injury.

PAIN MANAGEMENT WARNINGS

  • If you have had medical or physical treatment for your pain, consult with your physician before using this unit.
  • If your pain does not improve, becomes serious chronic or severe, or continues for more than five years, stop using the unit and consult with your physician.
  • The mere existence of pain functions as a very important warning telling us that something is wrong. Therefore, if you suffer from any serious illness, consult your physician in order to confirm that it is advisable for you to use this Power Relief unit.

PRECAUTIONS REGARDING THE PADS

  • Do not move the pads to another location while the unit is on.
  • Therapy won’t work with just one pad. You MUST USE TWO PADS at the same time.
  • Make sure the components are connected well and the pads are fixed on the part of the body you wish to treat or the therapy may not be effective.
  • Pad should not touch any metal object, such as belt buckle, necklace, or other metal worn under clothing.
  • Do not overlap pads or put pads on top of each other. It may weaken or stop therapy, or the unit may stop working. Gel pads may also stick together and cause gel to be removed when separating.
  • Do not share pads with another person. This may cause a skin irritation or infection. Pads are intended for use by one person.
  • Do not leave pads attached to the skin after treatment.
  • Do not bend or fold because the gel may get damaged and it won’t stick or function properly.
  • To avoid damage to the adhesive surface to the pads, put the pads only on the skin or on the plastic pad holder provided to avoid damage to the adhesive surface of the pads.
  • Always place clean pads in accordance with the illustrations provided.
  • Do not apply ointment or any solvent to the pads or to your skin because it will disrupt the pads from functioning properly. The self-adhesive pads will adhere to your skin.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Scientific theory suggests that electrical stimulation therapy may work in several ways:

  1. The gentle electrical pulse moves through the skin to nearly nerves to block or shut out the pain message from the source of the pain to reaching the brain.
  2. The gentle electrical pulse increases the production of the body’s natural painkillers, such as endorphins
  3. Furthermore, it is thought that electrical stimulation improves blood circulation as well. Muscles contract and relax with the flow of the electrical stimulation. With the replated contracting and relaxing, the blood flows in and out and the blood circulation improves.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Connect the pads to the wire by snapping them on, then remove the protective film.
    Note: adding a few drops of water to the pads will increase their longevity.
  2. Place pads where the massage sensations are desired. Plug into one of the ports on the device. For additional relief use the second port and repeat the procedure to put on another two pads. Make sure both pads are on the skin and not overlapping. Make sure your skin is free from any dirt, oil, or lotion.
  3. Turn the device on by sliding the on/ off switch on the top of the unit. The unit will be now activated.
  4. Press the mode button to try different modes. Then press the center button to choose the waves within that selection. Remember the strength will default to the lowest setting by each mode selection.
    Note: The center button can also be used as a lock key. Press and hold it for 3 seconds to lock the screen, and 3 seconds again to unlock the screen.
  5. Once you select a mode, gradually increase the intensity by pressing the + button; decrease it by pressing the – button
  6. Recommended application is 10-60 minutes. Increase 10 minutes by each setting. The time remaining is automatically counted down. Then the unit will automatically turn off after time finishes.

Auvon SM9126 Rechargeable TENS Unit Muscle Stimulator-FAQs

What are the recommended settings for a TENS unit?

1. Acute pain: 80–120 Hz
2. Chronic pain: 2–10 Hz (to trigger endorphin release)
3. Muscle stimulation: 35–50 Hz for strengthening or relaxation

How long does it take to charge the Auvon TENS unit?

The device takes about 1 hour to fully charge and provides up to 5 hours of use on a full charge. If not used regularly, recharge every 3 months to maintain battery health.

How long can I use a TENS unit at a time?

You can use a TENS unit multiple times a day, up to 60 minutes per session, but it’s best to consult a healthcare professional for guidance.

How does a TENS machine work?

A TENS unit delivers pulsed electrical currents through electrodes on the skin to stimulate nerves, blocking pain signals and triggering natural pain relief mechanisms like endorphin release.

What intensity should I set my TENS unit to?

For pain relief, a frequency between 50–150 Hz is common. Adjust the intensity until you feel a strong but comfortable sensation—reduce it if it becomes painful or uncomfortable.

What voltage does a TENS unit use?

Most TENS units, including the Auvon SM9126, are battery-powered with a 9-volt power pack, delivering mild electrical impulses through the skin to stimulate nerves.

What is the main purpose of a TENS unit?

TENS therapy reduces pain by sending electrical pulses that stimulate nerve activity, encouraging the body to release endorphins and block pain signals to the brain.

Where is Auvon located?

Auvon Inc. is based in Peachtree Corners, GA, USA.
