HOW TO USE THE BAND
How to remove the stimulator from the belt
Shut off the stimulator.
Take out the stimulator from the belt by pushing out the top.
When the unit is disconnected from the magnetic contact lift it upwards.
Battery replacement
Shut off the stimulator. Remove the battery cover by sliding it downwards and
take out the batteries. Placed 3 alkaline batteries of 1,5V AAA type LR03 and
close the cover. Make sure that the new batteries are correctly placed with
respect to the polarity (note marks for + and-)

First use
1.Press the ON / OFF key to turn-on the stimulator. The display lights and shows the last performed program. The
intensity indicator shows 0.
2.Select the program you wish to perform by pressing the P key.
3.Increase the used channel intensity pressing the key with the arrow . Increase the intensity until the wished level,
always maintaining a comfortable feeling. To decrease the intensity press the arrow .
4.Each program has a predefined duration. The intensity automatically returns to zero when the program ends.
5.Every time you wish to turn-off the unit, press the ON / OFF key for 3 seconds.
What to do in case the current feels unpleasant
If you feel pinches instead of muscular contraction, stop the program and follow the above indications:
-Take off the Band and be sure that the electrode zone is uniformly wet.
-Check that the electrodes are not damaged.
-When you fasten the Band, be sure that the electrodes have a good contact with the skin and the Band is good dressed around the stomach.
Useful advises
-Be sure that the conducting electrodes are always wet before using.
-If skin irritation should occur, treatment should temporarily discontinued. Often this effect is because the wet electrodes dry.
-A decrease of electric impulse effect could occur because an excessive perspiration. Wipe your skin with a cleaned
cloth.
-Take a pause of at least 5 hours between two working sessions.
How to pause the program
You can pause the program by pressing the ON / OFF switch. Start the stimulation by pressing the On / OFF switch
again. The program continues where the stimulation was shut off.

Automatic functions
Automatic Switching-off
If the electric stimulator is not in use for more than 5 minutes and the intensity in both channels is on 0, the device
automatically switches-off.
Electrode contact
If the electrodes are not correctly placed on the skin or the cables are not well connected, the intensity of the channels
is automatically shut off to 0.
In case the electrodes are not correctly placed before starting a treatment, it is not possible to increase the channel
intensity.
This is a security measure to preserve the user from unpleasant possible effects.
Empty battery
The battery indicator lights up on the display when the batteries are almost empty. As long as stimulation feels the
same as usual you can continue the stimulation. It is time to replace the batteries when stimulation starts diminishing
or the stimulator shut off.
Intensity of stimulation
The intensity value for obtaining a particular contraction is completely subjective. It can depend on a series of factors
like as the electrode position, the adipose stratum, the perspiration etc. For these reasons the same current intensity
value can give different sensations from a person to another from a day to another or furthermore you could feel more
contraction on the left limb rather than the right one.
You have to regulate it on the bases of your sensations.
Special Functions
Keyboard lock key
Once reached the wished intensity level, it is possible to lock the keys except for the ON / OFF switch by pressing
the LOCK key for 3 seconds. This function will avoid you their accidental use during the treatment. The keyboard
lock is released when the key is pressed for three seconds again.
Note: You cannot change the intensity value during the rump up and ramp down in all intermittent programs that
foresees cycles of work and recovery.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Why does the intensity return immediately to 0 when increasing its value?
The unit has a control of current supply. In case the circuit is open the intensity is automatically shut off.
It is therefore necessary, before starting any treatment, to be sure that the cables are well connected and the electrodes
completely placed on the skin.
What to do when the discharged battery indicator appears?
You can continue your stimulation until it starts diminishing; then turn off the unit, disconnect the electrode cables and
change the batteries.
Is it possible to use the electric stimulator during the menstrual cycle?
Possible interferences, like anticipations, delays, accentuations or reductions of the cycle can be subjective and variable. It is however advisable to avoid treatments in the abdominal zone during the cycle.
Is it possible to use the electric stimulator during lactation?
Until now it has not found collateral effects in relation to the electric stimulator use during the lactation. It is however
advisable not to treat the thoracic zone.
Does the presence of dermatological diseases like psoriasis, urticaria, etc. prevent the electric stimulator use?
Yes, it is advisable not to treat epidermic zones, which present important dermatological diseases.
How long after is it possible to see the first results?
The aesthetic results obtained are always subjective. It is however possible to state that you can achieve good results
about tonicity after 15 days with 3 or 4 sessions a week; for lypolisis and drainage treatment it is necessary at least 40
days. Better and speeder results are obtained if treatments are combined with a good physical activity and a correct life
style.
