1. Use the strongest training intensity you can - the harder you work your
muscles, the better the results you will see, but remember, stimulation
should never be uncomfortable.
2
. Use your SLENDERTONE SYSTEM-ABS as part of a normal, healthy lifestyle.
Improve your diet and try to increase the amount of exercise you do. Your
toning belt will not help you lose weight. For this you need to do some form
of cardiovascular exercise e.g. walking, cycling, swimming, jogging.
However using your toning belt regularly will give you firmer, flatter abs, a
better body shape and your clothes will fit better.
3
. Your SLENDERTONE SYSTEM-ABS has 7 toning programmes which are listed in
the table below. There are 5 core programmes and 2 bonus programmes.
Programme 1 is set when you switch your unit on for the first time. The unit
will then automatically progress through each programme up to programme 5.
Programmes 6 and 7 must be selected manually using the program button.
The display will show the programme currently selected.
NOTE: All micro-coulomb (µC) values are rounded off to the nearest integer
value. This measures the effectiveness of the muscle workout - the higher
the µC value, the more effective the muscle workout.
All programmes have “warm up” and “warm down” phases. The warm-up
prepares your muscles for the main part of your session. The warm down
relaxes your muscles as the session is finishing - as you would when
exercising.
NOTE: You cannot change a programme during a session. You must first switch
your unit off and then on again. Then you can select a different programme
by pressing the programme button. Programme 6 delivers a strong abdominal
workout, which is useful for those involved in sport. Programme 7 is lower in
intensity and is useful when you require a less vigorous abdominal muscle
workout.

Each box shows the average toning intensity from either side of the belt.
Fill-in your diary every time you complete a toning session. Leave this diary
somewhere you will see it regularly. This will help to motivate you to reach
your goal. You will soon see and feel that your ab muscles are firmer and
more toned.

. To help you get the most from your SLENDERTONE SYSTEM-ABS, we recommend
that you follow our 30 day plan. To follow this plan, use your belt 5 times a
week for 4 weeks and record your highest intensity levels in your diary (see
back of this instruction manual). Each week you have two rest days to allow
your muscles to recover. The diary below shows one person’s toning intensi-
ty, recorded during scientific testing over a 30-day period.
NOTE: The intensity level will vary from person to person.
We recommend that you follow a similar plan, trying to push yourself to use
higher toning intensity levels all the time. Try to increase your toning intensi-
ty from week to week. But remember, do not over-exert yourself when using
muscle stimulation. Any workout should be at a level comfortable for you.
Your belt can be washed, but you must first remove the unit and pads.
Always follow the instructions on the label when washing the belt.
Never machine wash your belt. Always hand wash in lukewarm water.
This protects the internal wiring from damage in the washing
machine. You should take care even when hand washing and never
wring the belt to remove water.
Do not use bleach when washing the belt.
Do not dry clean your belt.
Do not tumble dry your belt. Dry the belt on a flat surface. Do not dry
it over anything hot. (e.g. a radiator) as the belt contains plastic
parts. Ensure the belt is completely dry before using it again.
The belt should not be ironed.
• The pads are for single person use only.
• You should ensure your skin is clean and free of oils, creams and other
lotions before use.
• The durability and effectiveness of the pads depends entirely on the proper
use, storage and care on the part of the user, certain skin types and the type,
duration, number of sessions, intensity used and site of stimulation.
• Ensure your hands are clean before handling pads. You should avoid touching
the skin-side of the pads with your fingers as much as possible when applying
or removing the belt, as this can transfer oils and skin particles to the pads’
surface.
• After use, replace the liners on the black side of the pads and store your unit
in a cool, dry place until the next use.
• Pads will need to be replaced periodically as the surface picks up skin debris
and becomes dry over time.
