Putting on the Belt:
Set-up:
Open the battery compartment cover (batteries not included) on the back of the unit (1) and insert three AAA batteries.
Insert the tree batteries in accordance with the polarity marks. The polarity is indicated on the battery compartment for
proper placement, as shown in the illustration. Replace the battery compartment cover. (Fig. 2)
Putting on the Belt:
Attach the Gymform
ABS-A-ROUND unit (1) to the front of the belt using the six snap fasteners. Ensure that they are all
®
well fastened or the belt will not work properly.
Attach two electrodes (9) to the abdominal part (2) and two electrodes to the lower-back part (3) of the belt.
Attach two double electrodes (17) to the two parts of the abdominal and obliques (17).
Make sure the belt connectors (7) between the abdominal, lower-back and oblique parts of the belt are properly connected
by ensuring that the indicated mark on each belt connector (7) is not visible. (Fig. 3)
Remove the protective plastic backing from the electrodes (9) on the abdominal part of the belt (2). Place the electrodes
on your abdominal area and press to stick down. Then remove the protective plastic backing from the double electrode
(17) on the left oblique part of the belt and place the electrodes on your oblique muscle, which is located above the hip
bone. When the left oblique part is in position, adjust the belt so that it is taut between the abdominal (2) and oblique (4)
parts. Repeat this procedure to attach the electrodes of the lower-back part (3), followed by the right oblique part. Ensure
that the belt is properly adjusted between all parts so that the electrodes are in contact with the skin. Then fasten the belt
using the side-release buckle (6).
When you have finished using the belt, to ensure the electrodes do not stick to the skin, remove them one at a time
by pulling them from the edge and then replace the protective plastic backing on the electrodes. This will help extend
the useful life of the electrodes.
Using the Belt
Press the ON/OFF button for one second to switch on your Gymform® ABS-A-ROUND.
