Restore muscle volume PG 03 Reinforce muscle volume PG 04 Muscle resistance PG 05 PG 06 HEALTH PROGRAMS Lowers the impedance of the skin barrier. Prepares your skin for the currents emitted by the programs. Duration : 2 min active phases This program prevents and fights loss of muscle volume resulting usually from a lack of use of a limb following a period of immobilisation. Duration : 40 min active phase + 6 min recovery Apply this program only on muscles with a normal volume. PG04 and PG05 are used to develop muscle strength. Duration : 20 min active phase + 6 min recovery The stimulation frequencies aim at increasing the ability to sustain major muscle efforts. Duration : 30 min active phase + 6 min recovery PG 09 Massage PG 10 Muscle relaxing PG 11 Active recovery PG 12 TENS PG 13 Endorphinic PG14 Vascularization Muscle endurance After using PG04 to acquire the ability to sustain major efforts, use program PG05 to extend high intensity muscle efforts over time by maximum stimulation of slow fibres. Duration : 30 min active phase + 6 min recovery This program uses frequencies modulated between 3 and 10 Hz for optimum massaging effect. Duration : 20 min active phase. The frequency range between 0.25 and 3.5 Hz of this program accelerates muscle relaxing. Duration : 20 min active phase Use this program immediately after performing intense efforts. All frequencies generated by PG11 maintain muscle work after effort, enhancing blood flow and the release of endorphins. Each of these frequency sequences is alternated with a relaxing effect. Duration : 30 min active phase This program operates by across-skin nerve stimulation, delivering a range of pulse frequencies in the local area where the electrodes are placed. Duration : 20 min active phase With a frequency range of 40 to 160 Hz, this program relieves muscle tensions effectively. Duration : 20 min active phase Muscle fitness Use this program to maintain the level of muscle endurance, resistance, and volume acquired. Duration : 30 min active phase + 6 min recovery PG 07 Explosive force PG 08 Recovery This program is a logical extension of PG03 and PG04. It allows reaching maximum muscle force by stimulating very high speed fibres, with maximum contraction intensity. Duration : 30 min active phase + 6 min recovery Using a frequency range between 0.5 and 8 Hz, this program ensures muscles recover faster through relaxing, endorphin-based effects, and increases blood flow. Duration : 20 min active phase

This program relieves numb legs sensation. Duration : 26 min active phase

When it is not used, charge the batteries for 12 hours every 4 months. When the batteries are empty, the unit switches to standby automatically, protecting them against untimely discharging. To charge the unit, connect the charger supplied with the unit (photo I-E page 2) Battery charge display When the battery is charging, the battery indicator displays 1/3 , 2/3 , then 3/3 to show the current charging status. The charging time countdown starts, from 12 to O0. Once charged, the number O0 appears in the left angle of the timer pictogram. The battery pictogram displays 3/3 When the charger is disconnected, the screen switches off. When the battery indicator is empty , this means that it is discharged.

II. STARTING

THE UNIT STEP 1 : Display - Power on Attention while starting the device ( red button ) Push briefly (maximum 1 second ) on . All pictograms appear and blink for 3 seconds, then the front muscles blink. If you make a long push, your screen flashes and indicates you the totality of the pictograms which it contains. To stop the device, push briefly on . Or to return in the menu made 2 brief pushes on . STEP 2 : Selecting the muscle zone(s) to stimulate

• Choosing the 1st zone : The screen displays O1, meaning you can choose a first muscle zone. - To choose the front muscles, validate with the “OK“ key. - To choose the back muscles, press the key. - To return to the front muscles, press the key. If you have chosen the front muscles : the 1st muscle zone at the bottom blinks: quadriceps. If you have chosen the back muscles : the 1st muscle zone at the bottom blinks: gastrocnemius (calves) Press the key to move upwards and scroll the different muscle zones. To go back, press the key. After selecting the muscle group, validate using th “OK“ key.
• Choice 2nd zone : (only with the SPORT PRO) : All pictograms blink and the screen displays O2. The screen proposes to choose a 2nd muscle zone : To choose a 2nd muscle zone (only with the SPORT PRO), validate again either the front muscles or the back muscles, validate “OK“. Choose again another muscle zone, then validate “OK“. If you wish one muscle zone only, press the key and go to step 3. The muscle zone(s) selected are displayed.

STEP 3 : Selecting the program Programs on the left (SPORT programs ) blink. If you choose the SPORT programs , validate “OK“. , press the key and validate “OK“. To choose HEALTH programs Scroll through the programs by pressing the key. The screen first displays the 1st lower pictogram while displaying the corresponding program number at the top. To go back, press the key. You have now chosen the muscle zone(s) to be stimulated, and the program. STEP 4 : Choose the “Warm-up phase” and option (only for programs PG02 to PG07). The “WARM-UP PHASE” pictogram blinks in the top right corner. The screen proposes a warming-up phase before starting the active phase of the program. To select it, press “OK, otherwise press the key, and validate “OK (it disappears from the screen). Then the pictogram blinks. To select “ALT”, press the key, to select “SIM”, press the key, then validate “OK“. If no key is pressed, the “SIM” mode is imposed by default by the “OK“ key. If you have selected the warm-up phase, “SIM” is displayed when starting the program, as the warm-up phase is only in the simultaneous mode. The screen is displayed : the battery level, phase duration (countdown in minutes), timer pictogram, the “ALT” or “SIM” option and warm-up phase if you have selected them. The pictogram for the program chosen is lit, the muscle zone(s) chosen blink alternately. STEP 5 : • Launching the start - Adjusting intensity Then, press the + buttons of the intensity keys matching the wires connected to your electrodes or your belt to start the program. If the battery is low, do not start the program. The power level(s) are displayed at the bottom of the screen. The intensities vary during the session according to the program’s content. A long press on the “C“ key returns the power rapidly to 0.

• Program performance :
• Use of the “C“ (Clear) key: During the program, press the “C“ key during a phase to set its time to zero. The next phase starts unless you have reached the end of the program. In this case, this key allows returning to selecting the 1st muscle zone (as at normal end of program).
• Disconnecting the electrodes during the program: If an electrode is disconnected, the channel concerned is reset to O0 and blinks for 30 sec, before returning to a fixed O0. During these 30 sec, the electrode(s) can be reconnected, and power restored to the level required.

STEP 6 : End of program - Stopping At the end of the session, the screen proposes to start a new session by blinking the front muscles to select the 1st muscle zone. Restart the starting procedure if you wish to continue on another muscle zone. Otherwise, press the key to stop. The unit switches to standby after 5 minutes idle. Recommendations : The pictograms for upper muscles and for lower muscles are different. Avoid selecting upper muscles and lower muscles, as the unit would give priority to upper muscles, reducing somewhat the yield of work on lower muscles.

III. Using the unit

A / ELECTRODES FUNCTION

This function allows using the adhesive electrodes by connecting them to the unit STEP 1 : Take the electrodes and remove carefully their protection, dampen them one by one with water on your fingertips on the adhesive gel, and wait for 2 minutes (diagram I-A, page 2). STEP 2 : Fit the electrodes on your body as shown in diagram II-A or B or C page 2 : Positions are shown for information only Locate the electrodes according to the program chosen. Important: for optimum use, read each page carefully, and take the examples of use into consideration (photos II page 2). Examples of use : B = connector channel B (blue), C = connector channel C (orange) A - Chest

1 - Large chest

a - Do not place the electrodes close to the heart b - Heart STEP 3 : Take connector (CEV4 or CEV8 according to the model) (photo I-B page 2) and connect it : 1° - to the electrodes (photo I-C page 2) 2° - then to the unit (photo I-D page 2). STEP 4 : The unit is connected to the electrodes through the CEV4 connector, made of 4 (or 2) groups of 2 1m-long wires terminated by 2 groups of 2 connecting terminals. Fasten your SPORT-ELEC ® to the back of your clothing or underwear using its clip.

STEP 5 : Start your unit following the “Starting the unit” procedure described in paragraph II. Contractions should be firm but never painful. If you feel an unpleasant sensation around the electrodes : bring the power-on key back to minimum, move the electrode(s) and gradually increase the power. Once the adjustments have been optimised in this way, leave your appliance to work for the full duration of the programme. STEP 6 : Once the program is complete, disconnect the electrodes from the (CEV4 or CEV8) connector, then the latter from the unit. Then pull off the electrodes gently, dampen them slightly with a few drops of water, then return them carefully onto their support. Store the adhesive electrodes in a fresh location, in a plastic bag (e.g. vegetable container in the refrigerator).

B / BELT FUNCTION

The multifunction belt can be used completer, or separated into 2 to form 2 half-belts. The full belt must be used on the stomach, buttocks, lower back areas. Once unfastened, the 2 “half-belts” can be used on the arms, thighs, or calf. The multifunction belt has built-in electrodes on which the SPORT-ELEC ® cream is applied. This cream enhances contact between the electrodes and the skin. Its massaging and electro conducting properties improve comfort of use and enhance stimulation. The cream can be also used by massaging on the body. If you want to buy the SPORT-ELEC ® cream, please order directly by dialing

00.33.2.32.96.50.50 or go to www.sport-elec.com, or contact your local supplier.

You may not use the belt without the cream provided. Do not use any cream other than that provided by SPORT ELEC ®. PRESENTATION OF THE BELT :

• Front side : (photo III-A page 3)

1 - Central fasteners

2 - Wire storage

3 - Connection terminals

4 - Scratch strip

• Electrodes side : (photo III –B page 3) 4 built-in electrodes STEP 1 : Connecting and fitting the belt

1 - Check your SPORT-ELEC ® unit is STOPPED

2 - Take the (CEV4 or CEV8) connector (photo I-B page 2) and connect it :

• 1° - To the belt connectors per groups of colour (e.g. yellow terminals with yellow terminals, green terminals with green terminals…) (photo III - C page 3).
• 2° - Then to the unit (photo III - D page 3).

3 - Apply a thick layer of electro conducting massaging cream onto the zone chosen then onto the electrodes

built into the belt (domed part - photo III - E page 3)

4 - Place the belt or 2 half-belts onto the zone(s) to be stimulated, and adjust them using “scratch” strips to

ensure the built-in electrodes are properly in contact with the skin (photos IV page 3 : A - stomach, B - back, C - arms, D - thighs, E - calf, F - back). Move the belt slightly left or right (with device powered off) to feel the contractions on the abdominal area. If an electrode hurts or if you feel any tingling, stop the device, and check the electrode is properly smeared with cream. TIP : Fitting the full belt : To position the full belt at best, cross the 2 strips to flip the 2 ends on the outer scratch part (photos V-A, B page 3). Fitting the half-belt on the arm : Adjust at the belt mid-size, according to the outline of your arm before positioning it, then start over if necessary to ensure proper adjustment (photos V-C, D page 3).

STEP 2 : Starting the belt function Once your unit is connected, install yourself comfortably and start your unit using the procedure “Starting the unit” detailed previously in paragraph II. STEP 3 : Stopping the belt function Once the program is completed, disconnect the unit from the (CEV4 or CEV8) connector, and the latter from the belt. Remove the excess cream on the built-in electrodes using a wipe dampened with water, then dry them.
