Before Initial Use

1. Remove any possible fi lms, stickers or transport protection from the device. Never remove the rating plate or any possible warnings.
2. Insert batteries into the remote control (5) (see "Inserting / Changing Batteries in the Remote Control").

Inserting / Changing Batteries in the Remote Control

Before inserting the batteries, check whether the contacts in the remote control (5) and on the batteries are clean, and clean them if necessary.

1. Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote control: press the locking catch on the battery compartment cover and remove it.
2. Remove any used batteries and insert two new batteries (1.5 V, AAA) into the battery compartment. Pay attention to the correct polarity (+ / -).
3. Insert the battery compartment cover and flip it shut. You must hear and feel it engage. Replace the batteries when the power of the remote control starts to wane.

Preparing the Device for Use

PLEASE NOTE!

■ Only connect the device to a plug socket that is properly installed and matches the technical data of the device. The plug socket must also be readily accessible after connection so that the connection to the mains can quickly be isolated.
- Lay the connecting cable in such a way that it does not become squashed or bent and does not come into contact with hot surfaces.

1. Place the device on a dry, even and firm surface. If the device is used on a carpet, make sure that the ventilation openings on the bottom of the device remain clear.

Protect sensitive floor coverings on which the device is placed with a mat if necessary.

2 m 1 - 1.6 m 1 m 1 - 1.6 m

Depending on your body size, leave plenty of space on all sides of the training device (at least 1 metre to the sides, 2 metres above) so that you have enough room to move about in during a workout. Furthermore, the free area in the direction from which you access the training device must be at least 0.6 m greater than the exercise area. The free area must include the space required for an emergency dismount. If training devices are set up in the immediate vicinity of one another, they can share one free area.

1. First connect the connecting cable to the socket (1) of the device and then to a properly installed, easily accessible plug socket.

Attaching / Detaching Expander Bands

Attach the expander bands to the device for advanced exercises for the muscles in your upper body, e.g biceps or triceps curls.

1. Turn over the device so that the bottom is pointing upwards. On the bottom there are two rails with eyelets.
2. Use a hex key (size 5 mm or 3/16") to undo the screws and the pull the rails out so that the eyelets are sticking out. Adjust the precise pull-out length and the angle to your individual arm length and position.

3. Tighten the screw using the hex key and fix the rail in the position you want!

1. Hook the snap hooks of the expander bands into the eyelets.

The expander bands are detached in the reverse order.

IMPORTANT! When the expander bands are not being used, always take them off and fi x the rails with eyelets on the bottom so that they do not stick out.

Using the Device

PLEASE NOTE!

■ Stop using the device immediately if you start to feel weak or dizzy. If you feel sick, have a pain in your chest or arms, an irregular heartbeat or other unusual symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.
■ CAUTION – Danger of Crushing! Never place your hands and feet between the frame and vibrating plate while the device is in operation.
■ When doing the exercises, wear loose, comfortable clothing and non-slip trainers.
- Start with the slowest vibration level and gradually increase the level of intensity. We explicitly point out that improper use of the device and excessive use can be detrimental to your health.
- Do not kneel, stamp or jump on the vibrating plate to prevent injuries and damage to the device.
- Do not stand on just one side of the vibrating plate. This would cause the device not to work properly and it could tip over.

Basic Use of the Device

Only basic use of the device is described below. The various possible applications and exercises are explained on the poster supplied with the device.

The device can be controlled both with and without the remote control. To make it easier to operate, we recommend using the remote control. Direct it towards the receiver of the device.

10 automatic training programmes are stored in the device. Each programme has a different sequence of different vibration strengths. For a varied workout, we recommend that you choose a training programme.

Ensure that you are properly warmed up before you use the device.

1. Flip the I/0 main power switch (2) to position I. It lights up and the device is supplied with power. In addition, you will hear two beeps and the displays (9, 11) will show “—”. The device is in stand-by mode.

2. Press the ⏻ button (16) on the device or the ⏻ button (29) on the remote control to activate the device. The time / programme display (9) will show "HA" and the speed display (11) will show "00". The abbreviation "HA" stands for the manual programme, in which the training duration and the vibration level can be set individually.

1. Training with a training programme:

-You can repeatedly press the Ⓟ button (26) on the remote control to choose one of the 10 auto programmes (P0 - P9).

Please Note: The auto programmes can only be set via the remote control!

Training without a training programme:

The device must be in manual mode. To do this, press the Ⓓ button on the remote control until "HA" appears in the time / programme display.

-Use the ⏻ button (8 or 19) and ⏻ button (17 or 27) to set the training time you want (max. 15 minutes).

1. Stand on the vibrating plate (3). Distribute your weight evenly on both feet.

2. To start the device, press the ▶ button (15 or 18). The device then starts to vibrate. The Time display then alternately shows the remaining workout time in minutes and the active programme (with training programme) or "HA" (without training programme).

3. In manual mode, the vibration level can be changed with the + (12) and - (13) buttons on the device or with the Hi (28) and Low (20) buttons on the remote control or with the quick-selection buttons (22, 23, 24).
4. The device stops automatically after the preset time has elapsed. The device can be stopped at any time by pressing the ■ button (14 or 25). Please Note: If the device is not in operation and no buttons are pressed, the device switches to stand-by mode after approx. 4 minutes.
5. Step off the vibrating plate, flip the I / 0 main power switch to position 0 and pull the mains plug from the plug socket.

After Training

We recommend always performing a few stretching exercises in order to slowly restore your circulation to a normal level:

Upper body: Stand upright, cross your arms over your head and pull your left elbow to the right with your right hand. The upper body moves gently as you do this. Stay in this position for around 15 – 20 seconds. Change sides.

Calves: Stand up. Place your right leg in front of you and bend it slightly while your left leg remains stretched. Push your left heel down onto the floor. Stay in this position for around 15 – 20 seconds. Change sides.

Thighs: Stand on one leg, bend the other one and grab your foot with your hand. Pull it up to your buttocks and hold this position for around 5 – 20 seconds. Change sides. Sit down on the floor, turn your knees to face outwards, place the soles of your feet together and pull towards your body. Place your hands around your ankles and press your knees gently down to the floor with your elbows. Keep your back straight. Stay in this position for around 5 – 20 seconds.

Back: Lie down fl at on your back, bend your right leg and place it over your left leg, your hip twists but both shoulders remain on the floor. Stay in this position for around 5 – 20 seconds. Change sides.

Shoulders / back: Sit down cross-legged with a straight back, fold / clasp together your hands and stretch your arms out above your head. Stretch your back. Stay in this position for around 15 – 20 seconds.
