Congratulations on purchasing your SLENDERTONE SYSTEM+. Please read your
user manual fully before using this product.
This revolutionary new concept allows a single hand-held controller to be
attached to a range of garments which tone different areas of the body,
saving you money on your next SLENDERTONE purchase. SLENDERTONE SYSTEM+
uses clinically proven EMS technology to exercise all of the muscles of
your abdomen, not just those under the belt. A signal is sent to the
abdominal muscles and as the signal strength increases, the muscles
contract.
Use your SLENDERTONE SYSTEM+ 5 times a week and in just 4 weeks, you can
expect to see these results:
• A firmer, flatter stomach
• Stronger more toned abs
• Better fitting clothes
For best results we recommend that you use your SLENDERTONE SYSTEM+ in
conjunction with a normal, healthy diet and exercise.
SLENDERTONE SYSTEM is an electronic muscle stimulator intended for the
enhancement of performance of normal muscle. It may also be used, with
medical supervision, for the rehabilitation of muscle which has become
deficient due to disuse or injury.
If you have any difficulty setting up your unit or have any other questions
or concerns about your SLENDERTONE SYSTEM+ call the SLENDERTONE Careline

Step 1 -Charge the battery. Insert your charger into a
socket and then connect it to your unit (Fig. a). It’ll take
approximately 3 hours to fully charge the battery. Your
unit is fully charged when all three sections of the battery
icon are full. The battery icon will flash when the battery
is low and needs to be recharged.
NOTE:Please ensure you only use the SLENDERTONE SYSTEM
Charger when charging your control unit. Do not leave
your unit connected to the charger when the battery is
fully charged.
Step 2 -Connect the unit to the belt. The unit and belt
must be connected for your SLENDERTONE SYSTEM+ to work.
‘Click’ the unit connector into the belt connector
as shown in Fig. b.
Step 3 -Place the pads on the belt. Turn the belt over so
that the 3 silver studs are facing upwards. Remove the
three adhesive pads from their pack. There is 1 large
square pad and 2 smaller oval pads. One side of each
pad has a grid pattern on it while the other side is plain
black.
(i) Remove the covers from the patterned side of the
large pad (Fig. c).
(ii) Place the patterned side of this pad over the middle
stud and between the white lines.
(iii) Now remove the covers from the patterned side of the two smaller pads
and place them either side of the large pad (Fig. d).

SLENDERTONE SYSTEM+ uses electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) technology.
This technology has been used in hospitals and by physiotherapists for over
50 years. Here is a summary of how EMS technology works. SLENDERTONEs
patented 3-pad design ensures that all of the abdominal muscles contract
and not only those directly under the pads.
Step 1
Signals are sent
between the pads
Step 2
The signals switch on the
nerves which control the
abdominal muscles.
Step 3
The nerves, in turn, cause
your muscles to contract
and relax rhythmically.

(iv) The location of the smaller pads depends on your waist size. In the exam-
ple below, the smaller pads are placed nearest to the large, central pad. This
is for a user who’s waist size is 24”-31” (female)/ 27”-34” (male). Use the
sizing guidelines below to help you choose your correct pad location.
IMPORTANT:
Before you progress, make sure that all three silver studs are completely
covered by the pads.
Press the edges of all three pads firmly onto the belt before use.
Step 4 -Remove the covers from the black side of all
three pads (Fig. a). Do not throw these covers away as
you will need to put them back onto the pads at the
end of your session.
NOTE:You should only use SLENDERTONE pads with your
SLENDERTONE SYSTEM+ unit.
Step 5 -Position the belt on your body.
Wrap the belt around your waist so that the pads are
pressed firmly against your skin, positioning the
large square pad over your navel (belly button).
Stretch the ends of the belt around your waist until
the small pads are between your hip bone and ribs
on either side of your body (Fig. b). Fasten the belt
tightly around your waist, but not so tight as to
cause discomfort. The pads are water-based, so you
may find they are cool when placed on your skin.
NOTE:For the best results, we recommend that you do five training sessions
per week. You should, however, only do one session per day, as this allows
your muscles to recuperate. Use your SLENDERTONE SYSTEM+ whenever it suits
you. You can use your SLENDERTONE SYSTEM+ almost any time and any place.
You can use it at home watching television, working at a desk, in the garden
or even walking outdoors. Your SLENDERTONE SYSTEM+ really is a convenient
way of toning your abs.

Muscle toning can be an unusual sensation, but a pleasant one. It may
tickle to begin with. We recommend that you use the product while seated
until you become accustomed to the sensation. This progresses to a smooth
muscle contraction as the toning intensity increases. To get started, follow
these simple steps:
Step 1: Press and hold the on/off button ( - Fig. a))
for two seconds to switch your unit on.
Step 2: Select the program you wish to use by pressing
the program button ( P- Fig. b). Then, to start the
program, press and hold the increase intensity buttons
( - Fig. c) until you feel your muscles contracting.
Always choose an intensity level at which you feel a
strong but comfortable contraction. This will vary from
person to person. You should try to reach an intensity
level of 15 or higher in your first session. The increasing
intensity level is displayed on the screen.
Step 3: Continue increasing the intensity throughout
the session if possible. You will feel the muscle
contractions getting stronger as the intensity increases.
Remember the harder you work your muscles the better
the results you will see, but always reduce the intensity
if you feel any discomfort. Your units intensity range
is 0-150.
PAUSING A SESSION
If you wish to pause a session before it is finished, simply press the on/off
button briefly. The display will show that the unit is paused ( ). To resume
the session, briefly press the on/off button again. The display will return to
its normal mode.
Step 4: SESSION OVER
At the end of the training session your SLENDERTONE SYSTEM+ will stop auto-
matically. However, to switch off your unit at any time during a session,
press and hold the on/off button for two seconds. You should see the display
turn off.
Step 5: Remove the belt and put the covers back on the black side of the
pads. Store it in the pouch until your next session.
NOTE:Do not disconnect the unit from the belt without first switching the unit
off, as this may result in an error on your display.
Well done on completing your first training session!

1. Use the strongest training intensity you can - the harder you work your
muscles, the better the results you will see, but remember, stimulation
should never be uncomfortable.
2. Use your SLENDERTONE SYSTEM+ as part of a normal, healthy lifestyle.
Improve your diet and try to increase the amount of exercise you do. Your
toning belt will not help you lose weight. For this you need to do some form
of cardiovascular exercise e.g. walking, cycling, swimming, jogging.
However using your toning belt regularly will give you firmer, flatter abs, a
better body shape and your clothes will fit better.
3. Your SLENDERTONE SYSTEM+ has 10 toning programmes which are listed in the
table below. There are 5 core programmes and 2 bonus programmes.
Programme 1 is set when you switch your unit on for the first time. The unit
will then automatically progress through each programme up to programme 5.
Programmes 6 and 7 must be selected manually using the program button.
The display will show the programme currently selected.
NOTE:All micro-coulomb (µC) values are rounded off to the nearest integer
value. This measures the effectiveness of the muscle workout - the higher
the µC value, the more effective the muscle workout.
All programmes have “warm up” and “warm down” phases. The warm-up
prepares your muscles for the main part of your session. The warm down
relaxes your muscles as the session is finishing - as you would when
exercising.
NOTE:You cannot change a programme during a session. You must first switch
your unit off and then on again. Then you can select a different programme
by pressing the programme button. Programme 6 delivers a strong abdominal
workout, which is useful for those involved in sport. Programme 7 is lower in
intensity and is useful when you require a less vigorous abdominal muscle
workout.

4. To help you get the most from your SLENDERTONE SYSTEM+, we recommend that
you follow our 30 day plan. To follow this plan, use your belt 5 times a week
for 4 weeks and record your highest intensity levels in your diary (page 17).
Each week you have two rest days to allow your muscles to recover. The
diary below shows one person’s toning intensity, recorded during scientific
testing over a 30-day period.
NOTE:The intensity level will vary from person to person.
We recommend that you follow a similar plan, trying to push yourself to use
higher toning intensity levels all the time. Try to increase your toning intensi-
ty from week to week. But remember, do not over-exert yourself when using
muscle stimulation. Any workout should be at a level comfortable for you.
Week Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 Day 7
1 (40 40) rest (40 40) rest (70 70) (70 70) (70 70)
2 rest (70 70) (80 80) rest (80 80) (80 80) (80 80)
3 rest (85 85) (85 85) rest (85 85) (90 90) (150 150)
4 rest (90 90) (90 90) rest (90 90) (90 90) (150 150)
Each box shows the average toning intensity from either side of the belt.
Fill-in your diary every time you complete a toning session. Leave this diary
somewhere you will see it regularly. This will help to motivate you to reach
your goal. You will soon see and feel that your ab muscles are firmer and
more toned.
Your belt can be washed, but you must first remove the unit and pads.
Always follow the instructions on the label when washing the belt.
Never machine wash your belt. Always hand wash in lukewarm water.
This protects the internal wiring from damage in the washing
machine. You should take care even when hand washing and never
wring the belt to remove water.
Do not use bleach when washing the belt.
Do not dry clean your belt.
Do not tumble dry your belt. Dry the belt on a flat surface. Do not dry
it over anything hot. (e.g. a radiator) as the belt contains plastic
parts. Ensure the belt is completely dry before using it again.
The belt should not be ironed.

30-day plan
caring for your belt
caring for your pads
• The pads are for single person use only.
• You should ensure your skin is clean and free of oils, creams and other lotions before
use.
• The durability and effectiveness of the pads depends entirely on the proper use, stor-
age and care on the part of the user, certain skin types and the type, duration, num-
ber of sessions, intensity used and site of stimulation.
• Ensure your hands are clean before handling pads. You should avoid touching the skin-
side of the pads with your fingers as much as possible when applying or removing the
belt, as this can transfer oils and skin particles to the pads’ surface.
• After use, replace the liners on the black side of the pads and store your unit in a cool,
dry place until the next use.
Pads will need to be replaced periodically as the surface picks up skin debris and
becomes dry over time.
10
Information Button ( i )
Press the information button any time during a session to
see the highest intensity level you have reached for that
session. Pressing the information button twice shows
you the total number of sessions you have completed
(Fig. a). While pressing the information button three
times shows the belt type you are using.
Mute Function ( )
If you want to switch off your unit’s sound effects,
press and hold the programme button for two seconds
(Fig. b). The mute function remains active indefinitely
unless manually changed. Deactivate the mute
function by again pressing the programme button for
two seconds
Keylock Function ( )
If you find a comfortable exercise intensity, press and
hold the information button for two seconds to lock
that intensity (Fig. c). This function only remains active
during the session in which it is activated. If you wish
to increase the intensity further, deactivate the keylock
function by again pressing the information button for
two seconds.
Error Messages
In the unlikely event of your unit developing a problem,
“Err” will appear on your unit display (Fig. d). If this
occurs you should switch the unit off and then switch
it back on again. It should now operate properly. If the
problem persists, please call your local careline for
further assistance (see page 2).
Battery Power / Replacing the battery
The battery icon on the display will flash when the
battery is low and needs to be recharged. After a period
of time, you may find that your battery will only power
your unit for a limited number of sessions, requiring
you to charge the battery more frequently. This is
because rechargeable batteries have a limited number
of charge cycles and may eventually need to be
replaced.
Should you need to replace the rechargeable battery,
remove the small rubber plug from the back cover of
your unit (Fig. e), unscrew the back cover and remove it.
Replace the existing battery pack with a new battery pack
(Fig. f) and replace the battery cover. You can purchase
a new battery pack by contacting the SLENDERTONE
Careline.

frequently asked questions
English
Can I use SYSTEM for post natal exercise?
• Yes, but you must wait a minimum of 6 weeks after childbirth before you begin
using it and you must consult your doctor first.
If you’ve had a Caesarean in the past 3 months, consult your doctor for
approval before using the belt.
The stimulation is uncomfortable. How can I improve this?
Make sure the pads are positioned correctly and that they are pressed firmly against
your skin - see page 6. Switch off your unit and reposition the belt if necessary.
• You can also smear a few drops of water on the black surface of the pads. This
can improve the comfort of the muscle stimulation, but be careful not to get
water on the unit. Ensure the unit is switched OFF before you do this!
Ensure the metal studs are fully covered by the pads.
My skin is red after the exercise. Is this a problem?
Some redness of the skin after a toning session is normal. It is partly due to an
increase in the blood flow under the skin and should fade after a while. You may
also experience some reddening of the skin due to the pressure of the belt. This is
the same as the pressure marks you get from tight clothing. You should not be
concerned about this. It should fade soon after you remove the belt.
If the redness is excessive, you may have the toning intensity too high. This
may increase the reddening in sensitive skin. Try using a lower toning intensity
for a few days. If the problem persists, you should stop using the unit.
Will the unit cause muscle soreness?
As with all exercise some muscle soreness can occur after using the belt. This is
normal and should go away after a day or two. Use a low toning intensity for a
few sessions if you are experiencing muscle soreness.
I can feel a tingling sensation in my legs during an exercise. What should I do?
This indicates that the pads are over your hip-bones. Moving the two smaller
pads upwards and inwards on your waist (i.e. towards the centre of your body)
should prevent this. Remember to pause or switch off your SLENDERTONE SYSTEM+
before adjusting the belt or pads.
How do I know when to replace the pads?
With time the pads pick up skin debris and may need to be replaced as this
makes the workout less effective and less comfortable.
• You may notice the signal is weakening even if the batteries are OK. This usually
indicates that the pads are wearing and will soon need replacing. You can check
this by first adjusting the belt to ensure correct positioning of the pads. If the
problem persists, try using the unit with a new battery pack. If the signal is still
weak or uncomfortable, you should order new pads.
• New pads can be purchased online at slendertone.com/system (check for spe-
cial offers) or from the careline.
I can feel my waist muscles exercising but not my stomach muscles.
Pause the programme and reposition the central pad slightly lower on your
stomach. If this doesn’t help, move the 2 small pads to a smaller figure setting on
the belt (towards the central pad).
I can feel my stomach muscles exercising but not my waist muscles.
Pause the programme and reposition the central pads slightly higher on your
stomach. If this doesn’t help, move the 2 smaller pads to a larger figure setting
on the belt (away from the central pad).
Can I use SLENDERTONE SYSTEM+ to treat muscles weakened from lack of use due
to injury?
Yes. The unit may be used for the alleviation of or compensation for injury.
Consultation with your doctor or physiotherapist is required to establish a reha-
bilitation programme with your belt, which would safely provide improvement to
the strength and tone of the abdominal muscles.
Battery performance has degraded significantly.
After an extended period of time you may notice a degradation in the performance
of the battery in your unit. At this point you should purchase a new rechargeable
battery pack. New rechargeable battery packs can be purchased through the
SLENDERTONE Careline, or by visiting slendertone.com/system.

When applying the pads and belt, always remember to :
• Place the pads and belt ONLY on the abdomen, as indicated in this manual.
• Avoid placing the pads or belt on the front or sides of the neck, across or
through the heart (i.e. one pad on the front of the chest and one on the back),
in the genital region or on the head. (Other toning units are available for
other areas of the body - details are available at slendertone.com/system or
from your local retailer)
Application of electrodes near the thorax may increase the risk of cardiac
fibrillation.
• Avoid any recent scars, broken or inflamed skin, areas of infection or
susceptibility to acne, thrombosis or other vascular problems (e.g. varicose
veins), or any parts of the body where feeling is limited.
• Avoid areas of injury or restricted movement (e.g. fractures or sprains).
• Avoid placing the pads directly over metal implants.
Possible adverse reactions:
• A small number of isolated skin reactions have been reported by people
using muscle stimulation devices, including allergies, a prolonged reddening
of the skin and acne.
• On very rare occasions, first-time users of EMS have reported feeling
light-headed or faint. We recommend that you use the product while seated
until you become accustomed to the sensation.
dos & don’ts
13
English
To reposition pads during a session:
• Always pause the programme currently running, unfasten the belt and
then refasten it behind your back once the position of the pads has been
adjusted.
After strenuous exercise or exertion:
• Always use a lower toning intensity to avoid muscle fatigue.
Contact the careline if:
• Your unit is not working correctly. Do not use it in the meantime.
• You experience any irritation, skin reaction, hypersensitivity or other
adverse reaction. You should, however, note that some reddening of the skin
can appear under the belt during and for a short time after a session.
Note:
• An effective treatment should not cause undue discomfort.
Important:
• Keep your unit out of the reach of children.
• The studs and pads must not be connected to other objects.
• Do not use your unit at the same time as any other device which transfers
an electrical current into the body (e.g. another muscle stimulator).
• Cease using your unit if you are feeling light headed or faint. Consult your
doctor if this happens.
• Do not touch the pads or metal studs while the unit is switched on.
• Do not use while driving, operating machinery or cycling.
• For first time users, muscle stimulation can be an unusual sensation. We
recommend that you begin with low stimulation intensities to familiarise
yourself with the sensation before progressing to higher stimulation intensities.
• For hygiene reasons the belt is for use only by one person. Do not share
your belt with anyone else.
• Do not over exert yourself when using muscle stimulation. Any workout
should be at a level comfortable for you.
• Do not use your unit if you are wearing a belly-button ring. Remove the ring
before you begin a session.
SLENDERTONE will not accept responsibility if the guidelines and instructions
supplied with this unit are not followed.
• Although compliant with applicable EMC requirements, this device may
still interfere with more sensitive equipment, please move away or switch
off.
N.B. If you are in any doubt about using your SLENDERTONE belt for any
reason, please consult your doctor before use.
