Slendertone System Plus Manuel utilisateur

2

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

These are the contents for the full SLENDERTONE SYSTEM+ pack. The Accessory

Pack does not contain a unit or charger.

1. Belt:

Your belt has been ergonomically designed and is fastened around your

waist, under you clothes, during use. The female belt (E :70) fits waist sizes

24”-44”/ 61-112cm. The male belt (X :70) fits waist sizes 27”-47”/ 69-119cm.

The belt has a pocket for holding your unit during use.

2. Unit:

The unit generates signals which are sent, via the belt and pads, to your muscles

to make them contract. Your unit is rechargeable and takes approximately 3

hours to charge fully.

2a. Unit Connector:

This connects the unit to the toning belt. Make sure the unit is fully connected

to the belt.

IMPORTANT:Do not disconnect the unit from the toning belt until it has been

switched off.

3. Pack of three adhesive pads.

These adhesive pads are placed onto your belt before use. When you wrap

the belt around your waist, these pads must be in contact with your skin so

that signals can be sent to your muscles.

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. SLENDERTONE‘s

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.

how does muscle stimulation technology work?

(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 unit’s 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.

• 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

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.

Caring for your unit

Your unit should not be allowed to get wet or be left in excessive sunlight.

It may be cleaned regularly using a soft cloth, lightly dampened in soapy

water. Do not allow the interior of your unit to become wet. Do not use

detergents, alcohol, spray aerosols or strong solvents on your unit.

Access to the interior of the unit is not required for maintenance purposes.

If your unit is damaged, you should not use it but should return it to SLENDERTONE
