Attaching the belt
Before each training session you should ensure that your skin is clean and free of creams or oils.
Only then can the device work optimally.
– Lay the belt down with the electrodes facing towards you.
– Moisten the electrodes and your stomach with water. Make sure that the electrode surfaces are
evenly moistened to avoid high voltage points on your skin during subsequent training.
– Place the belt around your waist such that the electrodes are positioned on your stomach. Then
close the Velcro fastener.
Take care that it is tight enough for good contact between the electrode and skin, but does not
constrict you.
If the belt is too short to fit your waist, you can use the included extension.
Where must the belt not be used:
– On the head: here it can cause seizures
– On the neck / carotid artery: here it can cause cardiac arrest
– On the pharynx and larynx: here it can cause muscle spasms, which lead to suffocation
– Neat the ribcage: here it can increase the risk of ventricular fibrillation and lead to cardiac arrest
Where must the belt only be used:
Only attach the belt around the stomach.
The navel should be covered at the center.
Automatic deactivation
If the device is not used after it is switched on, it switches off automatically after 5 minutes.

General advice on training with the abdominal toning belt
In the first week you should not use the abdominal toning belt more than once a day to allow your
muscles to acclimatise slowly to the device. From then onwards you can train more frequently.
Note: To allow your muscles to recover, you should rest for at least 5 hours between training sessions.
The intensity of training can be matched to your personal fitness level in this way. It is nonetheless
recommended to proceed through a program one step at a time. The programs A to E are coordi-
nated so that your muscles are given sufficient time to adapt to more intensive training with each
application. Programs A to E differ in their frequency, period of the training pulses, pause between
the training pulses.
The device is set with a training plan so it works through the programs A to E and repeats each
program a different number of times. You can select the program yourself however.
How to train correctly
What you feel when training
At the beginning of the training session you will feel a slight tingling sensation. With increasing inten-
sity you will feel muscle contractions in the surrounding area and directly under the electrodes.
Each contraction starts with a slow rise in voltage; this is held for several seconds at the set intensi-
ty. The muscle then relaxes again gently.
