How to Use PEMF device

General Device Instructions

Starting a Therapy Session: Make sure to fully charge your device prior to the first time you use it. Open a new package of OrthoPods 5-10 minutes before you start a therapy session to warm up. When you are ready to start your session insert the OrthoPods into the magnetic ports on your device. A blue light will appear on the outside of the device indicating your therapy has started. Note: if the light flickers, check that the OrthoPod magnets are flat and secure on the device.
