Risk of suffocation!2 Useful Information

Functional principle of the device The MEDISANA works on the basis of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS). Gentle electrical impulses stimulate the abdominal body muscles without stressing tendons or joints. This leads to slight contractions of the muscle fibres, which may built up the abdominal muscles "passively" (= without doing an active training). This is helpful e.g. after surgeries for strengthening the flaccid muscles, for deficiently or unilaterally trained muscles, tight abdominal muscles or for warming-up. This functional principle of muscle fibre stimulation is used since many years by professional athletes, ambitious recreational sportsmen and in the field of rehabilitation. It improves the capacity of the body, reduces the risk of injury and preserves mobility. The compen- sation of muscular imbalances and the skin tightening effect lead to an attractive body.

Inserting / changing batteries Make sure, that the device is switched off. Take the display unit out of the holder . This is more easy if you slightly press the display unit from the rear side away from the belt and then move it upwards out of the holder . Slide the battery compartment cover at the back of the display unit away in arrow direction. Put the enclosed batteries (3 x type AAA, LR03 1,5V) according to the symbols (+/-) into the base of the battery compartment. Close the battery compartment and push the battery compartment cover towards the device until it snaps into position. Put back the display unit into the holder . The magnetic electrode connections are "snapping" together with the electrode connections of the belt . Change the batteries when the battery change symbol appears in the display or when nothing is shown in the display after the device is switched on. When changing the batteries, only use batteries of the same type (3 x type AAA, LR03 1,5V).

• Do not disassemble batteries!

• Remove discharged batteries from the device immediately!

• Increased risk of leakage, avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous membranes! If battery acid comes in contact with any of this parts, rinse the affected area with copious amounts of fresh water and seek medical attention immediately!

• If a battery has been swallowed seek medical attention immediately!

• Replace all of the batteries simultaneously!

• Only replace with batteries of the same type, never use different types of batteries together or used batteries with new ones!

• Insert the batteries correctly, observing the polarity!

• Remove the batteries from the device if it is not going to be used for an extended period!

• Keep batteries out of children's reach!

• Do not attempt to recharge these batteries! There is a danger of explosion!

• Do not short circuit! There is a danger of explosion!

• Do not throw into a fire! There is a danger of explosion!

• Do not throw used batteries into the household refuse; put them in a hazardous waste container or take them to a battery collection point, at the shop where they were purchased!

Attaching the belt Make sure, the MEDISANA ist clean and dry before use. Ensure that your skin is clean and free of creams etc. Only then can the device is able to work optimally. Abdominal muscle stimulation belt BOB WARNING

• Before attaching the belt make sure that the device is switched off.

• Only use this device in the manner specified in the instructions for use (attached around your waist). A usage on other parts of the body may cause serious injuries!

• Before your remove the belt from the waist, make sure the unit is switched off!

Use Press On- / Increase intensity - button , to switch on the device. Two short beeps can be heard and the LC-Display shows the last executed porgram number and the belonging program duration, e.g.: By pressing the Off- / Reduce intensity / Program button you can choose a program. The following programs are available:

Program number Program duration (minutes) Place the belt around your waist so that the electrodes are positioned on your stomach (approximately with the navel in the middle). Close the velcro fastener. The belt is made of an elastic material and fits a wide range of waist sizes. Generally the belt should be attached tight enough for good contact between the electrodes and the skin, but it should not constrict you. The belt is only suitable for the use around your waist.

The programs differ in their frequency and the period of the training pulses. The total duration of a program is subdivided into different du- ration periods with preset stimulation frequencies. These frequencies are carefully adapted to each other. Lower frequency ranges (approx. 2 Hz to 40 Hz) are mainly used for muscle relaxation and higher frequencies are used for muscle stimu- lation. The pulse width specifies the duration of the pulse emitting phase during the use. Higher pulse widths have a higher stimulating effect on the muscles. Lower pulse widths are preferably used for warming up resp. for smoothly loosing the muscles. As for a physical workout with weights, each training with the unit should alternate bet- ween muscular stimulation and relaxation. This ensures a smooth and effective muscle training. The 10 available programs therefore contain different frequencies and duration periods which are automatically adjusted. The intensity may be changed manually during the use of the in 25 steps (please refer to chapter ("3.3 Intensity setting"). The 10 programs can be completed within several weeks. In the first week you should use program 1 and a low intensity setting. From the onwards you can train more frequently and with higher intensity and other programs. You should also adapt the program and intensity according to your personal fitness grade and feeling. As a beginner, do not use the unit more than once a day! Starting from the second week, you may use the unit more often, but you should always rest at least 5 hours between training sessions in order to allow your muscles to recover.

NOTE The device only starts the pulse emitting when proper contact of the electrodes to the skin is present. If the device does not detect proper contact, a long beep can be heard and the device switches to the program select mode. Check for proper attachment of the belt to your body. The displayed time (program duration) will start to count down to 0. You may experience a light formication during the usage. With in- creasing intensity you will feel the contracting abdominal muscles, which then will relax again after some seconds. At the end of the program two beeps (one short and one longer beep) will be emitted and the device will stop the pulse emission. You may also manually stop the pulse emission by pressing & holding the Off- / Reduce inten- sity - / Program button until the device switches off or by multuiple presses on the button until the intensity level is set to 1. Another press on the button then leads to a stop of pulse emission.

Intensity setting During the use you may adjust the intensity with the - and - buttons in 25 levels. A decrease of the intensity is always possible by pressing the - button. Is the lowest level (1) already set and the - button is pressed again, the device will stop the pulse emission. Press the - button to increase the intensity by 1 setp (max. up to 25). To avoid unintended increase of the intensity, the device will auto- matically switch on the keylock function after approx. 5 seconds without pressing any button. At this time, the display backlight will extinguish and the keylock symbol appears in the LC-display . To un- lock the key function, press . This also decreases the intensity right away by 1 step (if the intensity is already at level 1, the unit will stop the pulse emission). An increase of the intensity is only possible without active keylock function. Only adjust the intensity level as high as it still feels pleasant for you.

If you feel uncomfortable during the use of the unit, adjust a lower intensity. Is it still feeling uncomfortable or if the skin is itching or aching, immediately stop the usage and consult a doctor. 3 Operating GB3 Operating / 4 Miscellaneous

Automatic switch-off Without any button pressed during approx. 2 minutes in the program select mode, the device will automatically switch off. The device constantly checks for proper skin contact during the use. Ifthe unit should detect non-sufficient contact to skin, the pulse emissionwill be stopped and the program select mode will be entered.
