Before Using Your Myotone®
x Remove the Myotone® device and power adapter from the package.
x Plug your device into a working electrical outlet using your power
adapter. The Myotone® must be charged for 6 hours prior to your first
treatment. Following the initial charge, once every week to 2 weeks is
sufficient. Note: The green LED “Toning Level” light will flash if the
battery is getting low.
x When the provided charger is plugged into your Myotone®, the green LED
indicator lights on your Myotone® will flash and cycle through all three toning
levels one at a time, 1-2-3, indicating the device is charging. When the device
is fully charged, all three of the green LED lights will remain solid, at that point
your Myotone® is ready to use. Disconnect your device from the power
adapter and turn it on by pressing the On/Off button.
x Do not use your Myotone® while connected to the power adapter. The
Myotone® will not function while plugged into a power source.
x You may adjust the toning level to your comfort by repeatedly pressing
the On/Off button. Each time you press the On/Off button your
Myotone® will advance through Toning Levels 1, 2, 3 and then turn off.
With the Myotone off press the On/Off button once for level 1, twice for
level 2, three times for level 3, and four times to turn your Myotone®
back off. Note: To turn your Myotone off from toning level 1, press the
On/Off button three times. From Toning Level 2, press On/Off button
twice. From Toning Level 3, press On/Off button once.
x Always cover the area being treated with Myotone® Conductive Gel.
x When your device is turned on, an electrical current is emitted through
the electrode tips. For proper conductivity, make sure that both electrode
tips are always touching the skin at the same time.
x Begin your Myotone® treatment as described on page 8 of this manual.
Watch the Myotone® Instructional DVD for additional help.
x Remember to turn your Myotone® off after every treatment.
Note: Your Myotone® device will not contract your muscles nor cause them to
twitch. You may feel a slight tingling sensation, although some users will not feel
a sensation at all. The current can be sub-sensory because it mimics the brain’s
natural current and thus is very, very small. If you do not feel the current it is OK.
As long as the green LED light is on (matching the toning level you have
selected) your Myotone is functioning properly. However, if the sensation does
becomes unpleasant, lower the toning to level 1. When used correctly, the
current can be very soothing.

Myotone® Usage Instructions
Personal Preparation
To gain optimal results, start by cleansing your face with a non-oil based
cleanser. It is recommended that men cleanly shave any unnecessary hair
from their face before use. Exfoliating the areas to be treated 1 to 2 times
per week should allow for even better results.
Position yourself in front of a mirror in a well-lit room. Once you become
familiar with the proper placements of your Myotone® device, you may
choose to perform your treatments without the use of a mirror.
Apply the Myotone® Conductive Gel to only one side of your face at a time.
Apply a small amount of conductive gel to the dual probes of the Myotone®
device. Use just enough gel to completely cover the probes. If the gel
begins to dry during your treatment, reactivate the gel by applying a small
amount of water to the area being treated. For best results, the Myotone®
Conductive Gel is recommended. Aloe Vera or other water based gels with
enzymes may cause wearing to electrode tips.
For best results, use your Myotone® system 5-7 times per week for the
initial 5 weeks. Use the system 3 times per week for the next 2 weeks, and
then 2 times per week for the following two weeks. After that you only need
to use your Myotone® system once per week for maintenance or if you feel
you need a “Myo-boost”.
Do not use your Myotone® in any way other than directed in this
instruction manual.
