GENERAL OF BATTERIES SPORT-ELEC Body Control 4 is conceived for women and men who try to be fit. SPORT-ELEC Body Control 4, is a Be slim device which uses electrical stimulation through the “contraction-release” effect on muscles that you want to work. The aim of the SPORT-ELEC Body Control 4 is the following: to refine your silhouette by acting on the muscular masses (waist, Abs, butt muscles, thighs, and legs). SPORT-ELEC Body Control 4 contains 4 programmes for a more particular development of certain muscles (pectoral, abdominal, biceps...) resulting from SPORT-ELEC research. The frequencies and impulsions width of each programme have been defined to meet perfectly everybody’s requirements :

• Work the muscle gently and facilitate its recovery after an effort
• Improve the firmness of tissues
• Reshape the silhouette In conclusion, according to our activity, some muscles are more or less developed, the others atrophy on the contrary. Our body contains more than 600 muscles. The shape and harmony of our body depends on these muscles. SPORT-ELEC Body Control 4 allows activating the set of muscles without any effort from you. Its daily use will restore vigour of your muscle structure.

THE UNIT Check that the apparatus is switched off. Open the “batteries” compartment, insert three 1,5 V AA LR6 batteries into the compartment then to close the case. Comply with + and - indications (photo II - A page 1). For an optimal use of your apparatus, it is advised to use good quality batteries.

Your electro-stimulation device is an appliance in the point of the technique, it respects the current standards in the field of medical application. The interface “man -machine” is simplified and realized by means of pictograms and function keys. One of four, the pictogram in black indicates you the program chosen by the “P” key. Two scales (1 by output) indicate you 30 power levels. You also find 6 order keys (scheme, page 3) : - 1 ON/OFF (red key ) - a short press - 1 “P” (grey key) to select the programs - a short press - 2 “+”/”-” yellow keys and 2 “+”/”-” orange keys to adjust the intensity of the stimulation (a short press). A long (1 sec.) press on the “-” key allows to return the power level rapidly to zero.

STEP 1 - Disconnection Your device is endowed with an accessories disconnection detector. If there is no contact with the human body and the accessory, the power is stopped on the concerned output (channel A = yellow / channel B = orange). You are warned of a disconnection by blinking of a segment during 30 sec., after 30 sec. the blinking stops (diagram, page 3). If no accessory is in touch with the body, the power cannot be emitted.

• If the batteries are “good”, there is no blinking.
• If the batteries are “weak”, two segments (the 6th segment) blink (scheme page 3). Your device still works.
• If the batteries are “used”, two segments (the 10th segment) blink (scheme page 3). Your device stops, even in the course of a program. Change the batteries. STEP 3 - ON / OFF Switch “
• A short press on the “ ” key puts the device under or off power.
• Every time under power, the device makes an auto-test on 11 essential parameters at the level of the safety of its operation. During the auto-test segments and pictograms are lit during 0,5 second.
• If an internal defect in the device is detected, all the pictograms flash. Send back the device to the After Sale Service.
• The auto-test does not take into consideration the used batteries. When the batteries are used the autotest cannot be performed.
• One long press (over 3 sec) on the “ ” key stirs up the auto-test. In this case, stop the device by pressing the “ ” key and then press shortly the “ ” key again. STEP 4 - Choice of a program “P” It is enough to make one or several presses on the “P” key, the programs ravel. The programs are announced by pictograms. As soon as a program is selected, corresponding pictogram lights (see page 3). Once the program is chosen, you can start it by increasing the power on the only of power keys “+”. During the program the key “P” is inactive. At the end of the session the device stops automatically. To stop the device in the course of program, you just have to turn 2 power keys to zero or to press the ” key. In case of emergency, press the “ ” key. STEP 5 - End of program - Stop

STEP 6 - Adjustment the power INSTRUCTIONS You have 30 levels from 0 to 30 to adjust the power (there are three power levels between two segments).

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 (photo I - B / C page 1). STEP 2 - Electrodes function Fit the electrodes on your body as shown in diagram III page 2 : Positions are shown for information only.

17 - Major adducents

19 - Rear longitudinal

Examples of use : A = connector channel A (yellow), C = connector channel C (orange)

A - Pectoral muscles

6 - Middle trapezius

a - Do not place electrodes in the C - Biceps

9 - Main back muscles

10 - Main gluteal muscles

Plug the electrodes into the connectors of the device (photo I - D page 1). The Body Control 4 consists of 2 outputs of two 90cm long wires ending in 2 groups of 2 connecting plugs (2 yellow and 2 orange plugs). You may attach your SPORT-ELEC ® to the inside of your clothes or underwear with its clip. STEP 3 : Start your device by following the procedure in “Starting the unit” detailed previously in paragraph II. The contractions must be firm but never painful. If you feel an unpleasant sensation around electrodes : decrease the power to minimum, move the electrodes and gradually increase the power. The adjustments being optimized in this way, let your device work during the full duration of the programme. STEP 4 : Once the programme has ended, unplug the electrodes of connectors. Gently remove the electrodes, moisten them slightly with a few drops of water and put them carefully back to their protection holder. Store the electrodes in a plastic bag in a cool place (vegetable compartment of a fridge). Do not use SPORT-ELEC ® : CONTRA-INDICATIONS
