So it's a ProM-300 TENS unit.
I just opened up the manual and said "you've got to be kidding'. I'm afraid I'll electrocute myself with this thing. Reminds me of when, years ago, I purchased a home jacuzzi, portable system, that you hooked up to the side of the tub and plugged it in and it was supposed to turn your bathtub into a whirlpool. I purchased it on my lunch hour and read the office staff what the manual said. There must have been 10 WARNINGs, on the pages. Don't do this, don't do that. So I told them, "if I don't come in tomorrow, I electrocuted myself". Well, I went home, took one look at the thing and said "forget it, I'm not plugging this thing into an electrical socket and stepping into the bathtub". I never used it, BUT, the next day, I got some kind of flu and never went to work and they all called my house thinking I electrocuted myself. I never laughed so hard, even with a headache.

I just opened the manual and it says stuff like Burst Mode, and Modulation Mode. I'm supposed to understand this thing??? Adjust Channel Amplitude.???

This unit was used by my friend's 82 year old mother so if she can do it, I guess we can do it too. I'm reading about pins and lead wires, and sockets (Oh my god).

Uh Oh, it says to use gel. Just checked inside the case and there is no gel. So do I go to a medical supply store and buy the gel???

OY VEY!!!! lol
