  If the LCD display is showing but the Bodi-Tek fitness equipment isn't functioning, there might be several reasons: * **No skin contact:** Apply Conductive Gel on the conductive area of the belt and directly onto your skin. * **Incorrect unit connection:** Ensure the unit is firmly connected with both connectors to the belt. * **Low intensity level:** Increase the intensity by pushing the ON/HI button. You may also need to replace the batteries. * **Microprocessor issue:** Reset the unit by pressing the RESET button or removing the batteries for 1 minute, then re-insert them. * **Low batteries:** Replace the batteries.

  If the LCD display is showing but the Bodi-Tek Fitness Equipment isn't functioning, ensure you're making skin contact by applying conductive gel to both the conductive area of the belt and your skin directly. Check that the unit is firmly connected to the belt with both connectors. Increase the intensity level by pressing the ON/HI button. If the microprocessor has hung up, reset it by pressing the RESET button or removing the batteries for one minute before re-inserting them. Low batteries can also cause this issue, so try changing them.

  Chelsea HernandezSep 5, 2025
  If the LCD display functions normally, but nothing occurs with your Bodi-Tek Fitness Equipment, try pushing the ON/HI button several times to increase the intensity. Ensure you have enough conductive gel between the belt and your skin. Verify that the gel you're using is water-based by checking the label. Adjust the belt's position to find your trigger points. Clean the belt if it's worn or has oil deposits, or consider replacing it. Also, try changing the batteries, as low batteries or a microprocessor hang-up could be the cause.
