How To Get Up And Running

1 Remove the cover from the patterned side of the large pad (FIG.A). Place the pad on the metal stud between the parallel lines on the inside of the belt (FIG.B).
2 Remove the covers from the patterned side of the smaller pads. Place one either side of the large pad, using the positioning guides that best suit your figure (FIG.c).
3 Ensure each pad covers its metal stud and press the edges of each pad firmly onto the belt. Do not throw the covers away as you will need them later.

Battery Insertion

4 To open the battery compartment, press the embossed arrow and slide the cover off. With the unit facing towards you, place the first of three 1.5V (LRo3/ AAA) batteries into the right hand space with the flat (negative) end first and then push the positive end into place. Insert the second battery into the left hand space, again with the flat end first. Finally place the third battery into the central space with the flat end last and replace the battery cover.

Note: Battery Removal

When removing the batteries raise the negative end of the central battery and lift out. Then remove the left and right hand batteries.

The battery compartment must be closed when the unit is on.

5 Slide the unit into the holder until it clicks into place.
6 Remove the covers from the black side of the pads (FIG.D). Do not dispose of these covers, as you will need them at the end of your session.

7 Wrap the belt tightly around your waist so that the large pad is centred over your navel and the two smaller pads lie directly between your hipbones and ribs on either side of your waist.
8 Press and hold the On/off button for two seconds to switch the unit on (FIG.E). The unit is programmed to begin on Programme 1. After a set number of sessions in each programme the unit will automatically advance you to the next programme (see page 4).
9 Increase the intensity to a level you find comfortable (FIG.F). The unit will automatically increase the left or right intensity to ensure that one stays no more than 10 units above the other.
10 If you wish to pause the session before the programme is finished press the On/off button briefly. To restart the programme press the On/off button briefly again.
11 When the session is finished, the unit stops automatically. Press and hold the On/off button for two seconds to switch the unit off. If you forget, the unit will automatically switch itself off two minutes after the session. Replace the covers on the black surface of the pads and pack away your unit ready for its next use.
12 For smaller sizes, the length of the belt can be shortened by folding the left end piece forwards onto the outside of the belt. A belt extension is available for larger sizes.

Important:

You should leave at least six hours between sessions.

Your SLENDERTONE Ab Crunch Programmes

SLENDERTONE Ab Crunch - Guidelines.

When performing abdominal crunches:

(a) avoid neck strain by always keeping your hands at the sides of your head and not behind it;
(b) always use a soft flat surface, e.g. a gym mat;
(c) stop exercising immediately if you feel any pain.

Specific Do's and Don'ts for SLENDERTONE Ab Crunch Programmes.

• Never do abdominal crunches if you suffer from neck or lumbar pain.
• Never exert yourself beyond your own comfort level – if in doubt or if you have back pain consult your doctor before attempting these activities.
• We advise that these programmes are designed for use ONLY with the abdominal crunches specified. No other form of exercise should be attempted with these programmes.

Ab Crunches - Getting Started.

Begin both Ab Crunch Programmes in the Starting Position (FIG. A):

Wearing your belt, lie on your back. Bend your knees to approx. 90^ . Position your hands either side of your head. Your feet should be flat on the floor, shoulder width apart and your abdominal muscles fully relaxed. Switch your unit on and increase the intensity.

Ab Crunch 1 - Instructions.

Ab Crunch 1 can be used in conjunction with a Beginner Crunch or a Standard Crunch. Those unfamiliar with Ab Crunch exercises should start with a Beginner Crunch. Progress to a Standard Crunch when your abdominal strength has improved.

1(a) Beginner Crunch (FIG. A):

When the stimulation starts, gently press your lower back into the floor and contract your abdominal muscles as hard as is comfortable. Do not raise your head off the floor and keep your neck muscles as relaxed as possible.

1(b) Standard Crunch (FIG. B):

When the stimulation starts, slowly curl your shoulders forward, making sure that your lower back stays on the floor. Ensure you do not jerk your head forward. When raising your head, avoid neck strain by keeping a space approximately the size of your fist between your neck and chest.

2 Hold each contraction for three seconds, then return to the starting position and relax fully. The stimulation will stop.
3 After a three second relaxation period, the stimulation starts again. Repeat step 1(A) or 1(B) and step 2 depending on the type of crunch you are doing.

Ab Crunch 2 - Instructions.

Do not attempt this programme until you have progressed to a Standard Crunch using the Ab Crunch 1 programme.

1 Side Crunch (FIG. c):

When the stimulation starts, slowly curl one shoulder upwards and towards the midline/centre of your body. Your shoulder should finish 8-10cm (3-4 inches) from the ground. Keep your lower back on the floor.

Important:

Curl your right shoulder upwards and inwards when the stimulation is on the left side of your abdomen. Curl your left shoulder upwards and inwards when the stimulation is on the right side of your abdomen. Always keep your lower back on the floor and never twist your upper body excessively.

2 Hold each contraction for two seconds, then return to the starting position and relax fully - the stimulation will stop.
3 After a two second relaxation period, the stimulation will start again. Repeat steps 1&2.

If you want to advance your intensity level quickly, press the information button and the upper halves of both intensity buttons (FIG. D). This function is only available on programmes 5-10.

Caring For Your Belt & Unit

You should never let your SLENDERTONE unit get wet, but you may wipe it clean with a lightly dampened cloth from time to time. The SLENDERTONE belt can be washed, but you must first remove the unit and pads. You must always follow the instructions on the label when washing the belt.

Do not machine wash your belt. You should always hand wash it in lukewarm water. This protects the internal wiring from damage in the washing machine. It is recommended that you take care even when hand washing and never wring the belt to remove water.

Do not use any bleach when washing your belt.

Do not dry clean your belt.

Do not tumble dry your belt. You should always dry the belt on a flat surface. Do not dry it over anything hot (e.g., a radiator) as the belt contains plastic parts. You should ensure the belt is completely dry before use.

Do not iron your belt.

Questions and Answers

Q Can I use my SLENDERTONE belt for post natal exercise?

A Yes. If you are using your SLENDERTONE unit for post natal toning, you should only begin the sessions a minimum of six weeks after childbirth and you must consult your doctor first. If you have had a Caesarean in the past three months, you must consult your doctor for approval before using the SLENDERTONE belt.

Q How do I know when to replace the pads?

A You may notice the signal is weakening even if the batteries are OK. This usually indicates that the pads are wearing and will soon need replacing. You can check this by inserting new batteries and/or adjusting the belt to ensure correct positioning. If the pads are wearing, the symbol will also appear on the display. Replacement pads can be purchased from your nearest SLENDERTONE stockist, from the SLENDERTONE website (www.slendertone.com) or, by calling your local SLENDERTONE Careline.

Q The pads are not sticking to the belt even though they are fairly new. Is there any reason for this?

A Ensure the patterned side of each pad is placed onto the belt. The black side of the pads should always be facing you. Press the edges of each pad very firmly onto the belt before and after each session.

Q The stimulation is uncomfortable. How can I improve this?

A Ensure the pads are positioned correctly and that they are pressed firmly against your skin. You can check their placement by switching off your unit and repositioning the belt as described on page 3. You may also find it beneficial to rub a moisturiser into the skin between sessions.

Q I can feel a tingling sensation in my legs during a session. What should I do?

A Moving the two smaller pads upwards and inwards on your waist (i.e. towards the centre of your body) should prevent this.

My skin is red after the session. Is this a problem?

A Some redness of the skin after a SLENDERTONE session may occur. It is partly due to an increase in the blood-flow under the skin and should fade after the session. You may also experience some reddening of the skin due to the pressure of the stretched belt. This is the same as the pressure marks you can get from wearing tight clothing. You should not be concerned about this, but should only wear the belt during a SLENDERTONE session. If it is excessive, you may have the intensity too high, which can increase the reddening on sensitive skin. Try using the unit at a lower intensity for a few days. You may also find it beneficial to rub a moisturiser into the skin between sessions. If the problem persists, you should stop using the unit.

Q I can feel my waist muscles exercising but not my stomach muscles.

A Pause the programme and reposition the central pad slightly lower on your stomach. If this doesn't help, move the two small pads to a smaller figure setting on the belt (towards the central pad).

Q I can feel my stomach muscles exercising but not my waist muscles.

A Pause the programme and reposition the central pad slightly higher on your stomach. If this doesn't help, move the two small pads to a larger figure setting on the belt (away from the central pad).

Q Can I use my SLENDERTONE belt to treat muscles weakened from lack of use due to injury?

A Your SLENDERTONE belt may additionally be used for the alleviation of or compensation for injury. Consultation with your doctor is required to establish a rehabilitation programme with the SLENDERTONE unit, which would safely provide improvement to the strength and tone of the abdominal muscles.

• You have recently had an operation.
• You take insulin for diabetes.
• You want to use it on a young child.
• You suffer from muscle or joint problems.
• Using the device as part of a rehabilitation programme.

When applying the pads and belt, always remember to:

• Place the pads and belt ONLY on the abdomen as indicated in this manual.
• Avoid placing the pads or belt on the front or sides of the neck, across or through the heart (i.e. one pad on the front of the chest and one on the back), in the genital region or on the head. (Other SLENDERTONE units are available for other areas of the body – details are available from your stockist)

• Avoid any recent scars, broken or inflamed skin, areas of infection or susceptibility to acne, thrombosis or other vascular problems (e.g. varicose veins), or any parts of the body where feeling is limited.

• Avoid areas of injury or restricted movement (e.g. fractures or sprains).

• Avoid placing the pads directly over metal implants. They may be placed on the nearest muscle.

Possible adverse reactions

• A small number of isolated skin reactions have been reported by people using muscle stimulation devices, including allergies, a prolonged reddening of the skin and acne.

To reposition pads during a session

Always pause the programme currently running, unfasten the belt and then refasten it behind your back once the pads' position has been adjusted.

After strenuous exercise or exertion

• Always use a lower intensity to avoid muscle fatigue.

Contact SLENDERTONE or an authorised distributor if:

• Your unit 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 can appear under the belt during and for a short time after a session.

Note

• An effective treatment should not cause undue discomfort.

Important

• Keep your unit out of the reach of children.
• The studs and pads must not be connected to other objects.
• Do not use your unit 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 pads or metal studs while the unit is switched on.
• Do not use while driving or operating machinery.
• YOUR SLENDERTONE abdominal unit should not be used with a garment from any other SLENDERTONE product. Doing so may result in an unbalanced stimulation and an inefficient toning session.
• SLENDERTONE will not accept responsibility if the guidelines and instructions supplied with this unit are not followed.

NB: If you are in any doubt about using a SLENDERTONE belt for any reason, please consult your doctor before use.

Technical Specifications

Caring for your unit

Your unit should not be allowed to get wet or be left in excessive sunlight. It may be cleaned regularly using a soft cloth, lightly dampened in soapy water. Do not allow the interior of your unit to become wet. Do not use detergents, alcohol, spray aerosols or strong solvents on your unit.
