1. FOREWORD

It is our pleasure to be able to welcome you as a NOVAFON customer. You made a good
choice in purchasing the original NOVAFON sonic wave instrument. Our therapy devices
are easy to use, versatile, and have proven themselves over the decades. We recommend
that you read the following pages carefully in order to get maximum use from your NOVA-
FON sonic wave instrument and to ensure lasting enjoyment.

2. INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION

NOVAFON sonic wave instruments are available in different versions but they all operate
according to the same mechanical principle: a moving coil inside the device causes the
head (plate or ball attachment) to vibrate. Vibrations produced by the NOVAFON sonic
wave device are periodic mechanical oscillations within the audible frequency range. They
are applied to the tissue vertically and have an effective range of up to 6 cm in depth.
The various devices primarily differ in terms of the number of settings (1 or 2), effective
depth (4.2 or 6 cm), plating material (chrome-plated, gold-plated, or plastic), outer casing,
and features (with or without back handle).
The first setting is the basic setting with which all of the devices are fitted. The SK2
chrome-plated model and SK1 gold-plated model both additionally feature a pummel/
percussion setting (setting 2).
Setting 1 = Basic setting: 120 vibrations per second
Setting 2 = Pummel/Percussion: 60 vibrations per second
Each device also features a fully-adjustable intensity dial which enables fine tuning.
Two massage attachments are included in the delivery of all devices: sonic plate and sonic
ball (See Chapter 2.2). The SK2 chrome-plated instrument includes a retractable, extendable
handle that makes it easier to treat areas of the body which are harder to reach.

2.1. Instrument types

2.1.1. SK2 chrome-plated - The Versatile

The SK2 therapy instrument is equipped with two switch settings and a retractable exten-
sion. It is effective to a depth of 6 cm. The SK2 is particularly versatile and is suitable for all
NOVAFON applications.

2.1.2. SK1 gold-plated - The Powerful

The gold-plated SK1 therapy instrument is equipped with two switch settings and is cali-
brated for power. This means that the vibrations it produces are stronger than those of the
other devices. It is effective to a depth of 6 cm. This therapy instrument is ideally suited to
massaging particularly taut muscles and treating trigger points.
