Frequently Asked Questions - SPORT PRO SPORT ELEC

How to charge the battery of the SPORT PRO device?

For first use or after long inactivity, perform a 12-hour charge using the supplied mains charger. The device cannot be used while charging. The battery indicator shows progress: 1/3, 2/3, 3/3. Once charging is complete, the timer displays 00. If not in use, recharge every 4 months.

How to use the multifunction belt?

Make sure the device is off. Connect the connector (CEV4 or CEV8) to the belt plugs respecting the colors, then to the device. Apply a thick layer of SPORT ELEC conductive cream on the integrated electrodes and the area to be treated. Position the belt (or the two half-belts) on the chosen area and adjust using the Velcro straps. Ensure good skin contact. Then turn on the device and follow the standard procedure.

What is the lifespan of the adhesive electrodes and how to maintain them?

Adhesive electrodes have a lifespan of approximately 40 uses. To extend their life, clean them after each use by lightly moistening with water or a disinfectant (e.g., hexamidine), then put them back on their support. Store them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator (crisper drawer, between 5°C and 10°C). Replace them regularly and order directly or from your reseller.

What programs are available on the SPORT PRO?

The device offers 8 SPORT programs (Skin preparation, Volume recap, Volume strengthening, Resistance, Endurance, Maintenance, Explosive power, Recovery) and 6 HEALTH programs (Massage, Muscle relaxant, Active recovery, Antalgic PG12, Endorphinic, Vascularization). Each program has a specific duration and can be combined with ALT (alternating) or SIM (simultaneous) options for some programs.

How to adjust the intensity during a session?

Use the + and - keys corresponding to each channel (4 for SPORT PRO). The intensity is displayed at the bottom of the screen (level 1 to 30). Increase gradually until you get firm contractions without pain. A long press on the - key quickly resets the power to zero. If an electrode disconnects, the channel flashes for 30 seconds; reconnect it and increase the intensity.

What are the contraindications of using the device?

The device is contraindicated in case of wearing a cardiac pacemaker, pregnancy, or if electronic/metal implants are present. Do not place the electrodes on the cardiac area, face, wounds, or irritated skin. Ask your doctor for advice if in doubt. Also avoid use while driving or in a humid environment.

How to clean the device and the belt?

The device can be cleaned with a damp cloth slightly moistened with glass cleaner or a diluted disinfectant solution (e.g., Mercryl diluted 1/10). The belt must not be machine washed, dry cleaned, or bleached. Clean it with a damp sponge and mild detergent, then wipe dry. The integrated electrodes should be cleaned with a water/hypoallergenic detergent mixture and must be rinsed well.

Can I use the device while the battery is charging?

No, it is impossible to use the device while charging. Charging must be done when not in use. The device automatically goes into standby if the battery is depleted to avoid deep discharge.

What to do in case of malfunction?
