■ Do not connect the operating element to a plug socket during a thunderstorm.

CHARGING UP THE BATTERY

Please Note!

■ Do not charge up on a computer because the computer might be damaged by the high charging current.

If the operating element (3) cannot be switched on, the battery is too weak and needs to be charged.

To connect the device to the plug socket, a USB mains adapter (5 V and ≥ 1 A; not supplied with the device) is required.

1. First plug the USB cable into the Micro-USB socket and then connect to a power source with USB interface

(preferably via a USB mains adapter to the plug socket).

The charging process begins and the charge control lamp on the operating element lights up red.

1. As soon as the charge control lamp goes out, the battery is charged. Disconnect the USB cable from the power source and then from the USB socket.

SAFETY DEVICES

The operating element (3) has two built-in safety functions:

• The operating element automatically switches off after 10 seconds if no contact is established between the skin and silicone pad in the belt.
• The operating element automatically switches off after 20 minutes of use.

FUNCTIONS

EMS stands for electrical muscle stimulation. The device is used to stimulate the abdominal muscles.

Beginners should use the device for no more than 15 minutes a day to prevent overstimulation!

Advanced users can use the device for up to 30 minutes a day. We recommend no more than 2 units per day, with a rest phase of at least 4 hours between the units.

Modes

M1 - Warm-up and cool down

M2 - Intensive training, high level

M3 – Intensive training, medium level

M4 - Advanced training, medium level

M5 - Advanced training, high level

M6 - Complete training, high level

Each mode has 9 different intensity levels.

USE

Please Note!

■ Do not use straight after eating.
■ The device should not be used before going to sleep. Massages have a stimulating effect, which may lead to problems getting to sleep.
For reasons of hygiene, the device should only be used by one person and cleaned after each use (see the "Cleaning and Storage" chapter). Keep the device clean.

■ The skin may feel warm during the treatment. This is normal and not a cause for concern.

■ Do not bend the silicone pads.

■ The silicone pads must not come into contact during use with metal parts, e.g. on belts, wrist watches, jewellery or similar items.

■ We explicitly point out that with some people skin irritations or hypersensitivity may occur as a result of the electrical muscle stimulation. In this case, stop using the device immediately and consult a doctor if necessary.

1. Thoroughly clean and then dry the area which is to be trained.
2. Place the belt around you so that the silicone pads in the belt rest directly on the skin over the abdominal muscles. Fix the belt using the hook-and-loop fastener (Picture B).
3. Attach the operating element (3) to the belt using the press studs (Picture C). Both press studs must fit securely for the device to work.

The belt is suitable for a waist circumference of 65 – 110 cm. This circumference can be extended up to 140 cm with the extension strap (5).

Operating the Device

1. Switch on the operating element (3): press the + button on the operating element. M1 and 0 is shown on the display and the operating lamp lights up green. When the device is switched on, the intensity of the stimulation is set to level 0 and mode M1. In total there are 6 different modes, each with 9 intensity levels (see the "Functions" chapter).

2. Press the + button on the operating element repeatedly to increase the intensity to the level where stimulation still feels pleasant. Use the – button on the operating element to reduce the intensity if necessary.

3. To switch mode, briefly press the M button on the operating element. After each change of mode, the intensity is automatically set to level 0 and needs to be manually increased again.

4. To switch off the operating element, press the – button on the operating element several times until the display switches off and the operating lamp goes out.

The device automatically switches off after 20 minutes.

1. Clean the device after each use (see the "Cleaning and Storage" chapter).

What You Should Note When Training With EMS

• The most important thing fi rst: Training with electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is the perfect accompaniment to your regular sports regime. However, it is not a substitute for traditional training!
• The EMS only boosts your strength and is not a substitute for endurance training. To ensure that you train your whole body in a sensible way, you

should also focus on strengthening your stamina.

- You should build up strength not only using EMS. Targeted traditional strength training combined with EMS will boost the effect.

• Particularly if you want to improve your performance in a particular sport through EMS, you should replicate movements that are typical of this sport during the training. This will help you to train your coordination.

- It is particularly important to drink a lot during EMS training. This is because fi rstly large amounts of water can collect in the muscles during the training. So to ensure you do not experience any circulation problems, you should always remember to drink enough. And secondly EMS training increases the secretion of the enzyme creatine kinase (CK), which is eliminated via the kidneys. Having suffi cient fl uid in the body aids the kidneys.

- Include suffi cient recovery phases between your training sessions. We recommend, particularly for beginners, that you train no more than once or twice a week.

- EMS training is not designed for you to endure pain in order to produce supposed better results. This can damage your health more than it benefits it. You should therefore never train too much and not at an intensity level that is too high.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

Please Note!

■ After each use, store the device in a place where children cannot use it.
■ No liquid must get into the operating element. Never immerse the operating element in water!
- Do not use any caustic or abrasive cleaning agents or pads to clean the device. These may damage the surfaces.

- Remove the operating element (3) from the belt (1) after use.

- Clean the belt in accordance with the washing label.

- Clean the operating element with a slightly damp, soft cloth.

- Store all parts in a dry place which is protected from moisture, dirt and direct sunlight and is out of the reach of children and animals.
