The unit requires three 1.5 volt (lr03) DC batteries. DC is
indicated by the symbol:
The Output Frequency indicates the number of pulses per
second transmitted by the unit. This is measured in hertz ('Hz').
Output (RMSA) mean the max. output root mean square
current for each channel.
Output (RMSV) mean the max. output root mean square
voltage for each channel.
This symbol means 'Attention, consult the
!
accompanying documents'.
This symbol means type BF equipment.
This symbol on your unit is to indicate
SLENDERTONE
conformity to the requirements of the Medical Device
Directive (93/42/EEC). 0366 is the number of the
0366
notified body (VDE).
SN stands for 'serial number'.
Inside the box, on the back of the unit is the serial number
specific to this unit. The letter preceding the number indicates
