PRECAUTIONS:
• Caution should be used for patients with suspected or diagnosed epilepsy.
• Caution should be used in the following:
- When there is a tendency to bleed internally following an injury or fracture.
- Following recent surgical procedures when electronic stimulation may disrupt the healing process.
- Over areas of skin which lack normal sensation.
• Your SLENDERTONE product is not intended for medical use, for the treatment of any medical condition, nor for
any permanent physical changes.
• Always allow two hours for the controller to cool down between stimulation sessions. During normal use the
controller generates a small amount of heat and tests have shown that in extreme conditions this can cause
a temperature rise up to 2°C / 3.6°F under the belt at the controller location. At high ambient temperatures,
close to 40°C / 104°F, care is needed to avoid prolonged exposure to this increased temperature.
Get your doctor’s permission before using your
SLENDERTONE product if:
• You wish to use this product and have a bad back. You should also ensure the intensity is kept low.
• You have any serious illness or injury not mentioned in this guide.
• You have recently undergone a surgical procedure.
• You take insulin for diabetes.
• You suffer from muscle or joint problems.
Possible adverse reactions:
• Skin irritations and burns have been reported with the use of powered muscle stimulators.
• On very rare occasions, first-time users of EMS have reported feeling light-headed or faint. We recommend
that you use the product while seated until you become accustomed to the sensation.
To reposition GelPads during a session:
• Always pause the program currently running, unfasten the belt and then refasten it behind your back after the
GelPads’ positions have been adjusted.
After strenuous exercise or exertion:
• Always use a lower intensity to avoid muscle fatigue.
Contact SLENDERTONE or an authorized dealer if:
• Your product is not working correctly. Do not use in the meantime.
• You experience any irritation, skin reaction, hypersensitivity, or other adverse reaction. You should, however, note that
some reddening of the skin under the belt is quite normal during and for a short time after an exercise session.
N
OTE:
• An effective session should not cause undue discomfort.
I
MPORTANT:
• For first time users, muscle stimulation can be an unusual sensation. We recommend that you begin in a seated
position with low stimulation intensity settings to familiarize yourself with the sensation before progressing to
higher intensity settings.
• Keep your product out of the reach of children.
• The studs and GelPads must not be connected to other objects.
• Do not use your product at the same time as any other device which transfers an electrical current into the
body (e.g., another muscle stimulator).
• Do not touch the GelPads or metal studs while the controller is switched on.
• Do not use while driving, operating machinery or cycling, or during any activity in which involuntary muscle
contractions may put the user at undue risk of injury.
• The belt is for single person use only.
• Cease using your product if you are feeling light headed or faint. Consult your doctor if this happens.
• Do not over exert yourself when using muscle stimulation. Any workout should be at a level comfortable for you.
• Do not use your product if you are wearing a belly-button ring. Remove the ring before you begin a session.
• SLENDERTONE will not accept responsibility if the guidelines and instructions supplied with this product are not
followed.
• Although compliant with applicable EMC requirements, this device may still interfere with more sensitive
equipment, please move away or switch off.
• Keep this device out of the reach of pets or pests.
If you are in any doubt about using this product for any reason, please consult your doctor before use.
