• Do not use whilst undertaking any activity where an unexpected
reaction (e.g. strong muscle contractions even at low intensity)
could be dangerous.
• Ensure that no metallic objects (e.g. belt buckles or necklaces)
come into contact with the electrodes during stimulation. If you
are wearing jewellery or have piercings in the area to be treated
(e.g. a navel piercing), these must be removed before using the
device. Failure to do so could result in spot burns.
• Keep the device away from children.
• Make sure not to confuse the electrode cables including contacts
with your headphones or other devices and do not connect the
electrodes to other devices.
• Do not use the device whilst using other devices that transmit
electrical impulses into your body.
• Do not use in the vicinity of highly flammable substances, gases
or explosives.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries and always use the same
battery types.
• During the initial few minutes, use the device while sitting or lying
down to minimise the risk of injuries as a consequence of isolated
cases of vagal responses (feeling of faintness). If you feel faint,
immediately switch off the device, lie down and support the legs
in an elevated position (approx. 5 – 10 min).
• Treatment of the skin with moisturising lotions or ointments
beforehand is not recommended as this considerably increases
the electrode wear and may cause unpleasant current peaks.
• This device is not intended for use by children or people with
restricted physical, sensory (e.g. reduced sensitivity to pain) or
mental skills or a lack of experience and/or lack of knowledge,
unless they are supervised by a person who is responsible for
their safety or are instructed by such a person in how to use the
device.
Damage
• If the device is damaged, do not use it and contact your retailer or
the specified Customer Services address.
• Check the device for signs of wear and tear or damage. If there
are such signs of wear and tear or damage or if the device was
used improperly, it must be returned to the manufacturer or
retailer before further use.
• Switch the device off immediately if it is faulty or not working
properly.
• Do not attempt to open and/or repair the device yourself. Repairs
may only be carried out by Customer Services or authorised
retailers. Failure to comply will result in voiding of the warranty.
• The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from improper
or careless use.
Notes on handling batteries
• If your skin or eyes come into contact with battery fluid, rinse
the affected areas with water and seek medical assistance.
• Choking hazard! Small children may swallow and choke on
batteries. Store the batteries out of the reach of small children.
• Observe the plus (+) and minus (-) polarity signs.
• If a battery has leaked, put on protective gloves and clean the
battery compartment with a dry cloth.
• Protect batteries from excessive heat.
• Risk of explosion! Never throw batteries into a fire.
• Do not charge or short-circuit batteries.
• If the device is not to be used for a relatively long period, take the
batteries out of the battery compartment.
• Use identical or equivalent battery types only.
• Always replace all batteries at the same time.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• Do not disassemble, open or crush the batteries.
