3. SETTING THE EXERCISE INTENSITY
Increase the intensity and you will initially feel a tingle in the area of
the GelPads. As you increase further you will feel the muscles being
activated. As the intensity is increased more muscle fibers are stimulated
and you will feel a strong contraction and see visible muscle movement.
Do not exceed your comfort level. Your

The
SLENDERTONE REVIVE S5 has three programs for warming-up and exercising
your muscles.
Exercise Preparation - Program 1 (12 Min.)
This program gently warms up the muscles prior to exercise. It uses a
technique called “twitch potentiation” to prepare muscle fibers for
exercise. It feels like a rhythmic massage. Increase the intensity until
you get a strong but comfortable muscle movement.
Build Endurance - Program 5 (20 Min.)
This program uses a low frequency pulse train which favours slow twitch
fibers. It develops their aerobic capacity and capillary supply and thereby
improves fatigue resistance during long duration moderate intensity
exercise. The exercise comprises an alternating sequence of work and
rest phases lasting several seconds. Increase the intensity until you get
a strong and deep muscle contraction. Do not exceed your comfort
level.
Muscle Strengthening - Program 6 (20 Min.)
This program uses a pulse frequency appropriate to fast twitch muscle
fibers. It improves their anaerobic capacity and is used for improving
maximum muscle strength. The exercise comprises a sequence of work
phases separated by longer relaxation phases. Increase the stimulation
intensity until you get a strong and deep contraction. Do not exceed
your comfort level.

SLENDERTONE REVIVE S5 has three programs for active recovery following
exercise.
Active Recovery 1 - Program 2 (30 Min.)
This program produces muscle twitches at very low frequency and it
feels like a tapping massage. This stimulates blood flow and helps
speed up the removal of lactic acid as it accelerates the exchange
between the blood supply and the muscle fibers. As a result, the
muscles recover more quickly from fatigue, becoming more relaxed
with reduced stiffness. Use it after intense exercise to promote recovery
and relaxation.
Active Recovery 2 - Program 3 (20 Min.)
This 20-minute program is similar to Active Recovery 1 except that the
muscle twitch rate slows down during the session. It feels like a tapping
massage, but softer than Active Recovery 1.
Active Recovery 3 - Program 4 (20 Min.)
This form of stimulation activates the muscles in a rhythmic motion in a
short contraction/ relaxation cycle. It feels like a kneading massage and
is smoother than the other active recovery programs.

USINGTHETRIGGER
If you wish to vary the pre-set contractionrelaxation cycle, you can use the Trigger to
control the length of a contraction. Once a
contraction has reached its peak, press and
hold the Trigger button (Fig. a) to maintain
that contraction for as long as you wish. Once
you release the Trigger, the unit will enter the
relaxation cycle.
IMPORTANT:
You should never hold the Trigger for an excessive length of time and
should always ensure that you have sufficient relaxation periods. If
you hold the Trigger for too long without allowing your muscles to
relax sufficiently, the exercise can become gradually less effective,
as the muscles can fatigue quickly.
FINISHINGYOURSESSION
The session will stop automatically at the end of
each program’s pre-set treatment time. However,
to switch off your unit at any time during a
session, press and hold the on/off button for
two seconds (Fig. b). Remove the GelPads and
replace them on their protective liners. You may
now exercise another area of your body, or you

GELPAD CONTACT INDICATOR ( )
Your SLENDERTONE REVIVE S 5 unit has a GelPad contact feature which continuously checks the connection between the leads and GelPads and
between the GelPads and your skin. When poor contact is detected:
• The intensity bar for the side(s) affected will flash.
• The GelPad contact symbol will begin flashing on the display.
• Your unit will beep and the timer will pause.
• The intensity level will drop to zero and the up intensity keys will be disabled.
If this happens, you should check that the GelPads and leads are properly connected and that all GelPads are pressed fully against your skin.
If this doesn’t work, check that the leads are properly connected to the unit. When proper contact is restored, stimulation builds over a 2 second period to the previously set intensity level.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Can EMS exercise cause muscle soreness?
As with all vigorous exercise, some muscle soreness can be expected.
Do not use programs 5 or 6 if you are experiencing muscle soreness due
to intense training. We recommend that you warm up, stretch and cool
down when using your
SLENDERTONE REVIVE S5 as this reduces the risk of
muscle strains or tendonitis which can occur in the same way as normal
exercise. If the soreness is excessive, use the unit at low intensity for
a few days.
My skin is red after a session. Why?
Some skin redness after a session is natural. It is partly due to an
increase in blood-flow and should fade after your workout. You should
not be concerned about this. However, if the redness is excessive, it
may mean that you have sensitive skin, which can react to the GelPads.
If the problem persists, you should stop using the unit.
The stimulation is uncomfortable. How can I improve this?
Ensure the GelPads are correctly positioned and pressed firmly against
clean skin. Always pause or switch off your unit before repositioning the
GelPads.
I can feel a tingling in the bone. What should I do?
Pause the program and reposition the GelPads away from any bone.
How do I know when to replace the GelPads?
If the signal is weakening, even though the battery is still OK, it usually
indicates that the GelPads are worn and need replacing. After a number
sessions the GelPads can become less adhesive, resulting in poor skin
contact. If this occurs, you should replace the GelPads. Replacement
GelPads can be purchased from your nearest
SLENDERTONE retailer, from
www.slendertone.com or by calling the Customer Careline.
How often do I need to replace the GelPads?
You should replace the GelPads when they no longer adhere to the skin
or when the muscle contractions are noticeably weaker compared to
previous usage.

Caring for your unit
You r un it sh ou ld no t be a llo we d to ge t wet o r be le ft i n ex ce ssi ve su nl ig ht .
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 unit’s interior is not required for maintenance purposes.
If your unit is damaged, you should not use it but should return it to
SLENDERTONE or your local distributor for replacement or repair. Repairs,
service and modifications may not be carried out by anyone other than
qualified service personnel authorized by SLENDERTONE.
N
OTE: Using a leak-proof battery is advised. You should never leave the
battery inside your unit if you do not intend to use it for a long period of
time. If you do, the battery may leak and damage your unit. You should
be aware that some batteries sold as ‘leak-proof’ can still release corrosive substances, which may damage your unit. You should not use anything other than the correct type of battery (9v, 6F22) be used with your
unit. You must only insert the battery in the manner specified in this
manual.
Disposing of the GelPads and batteries
Used GelPads and batteries must never be disposed of in a fire but in
accordance with your state’s laws governing the disposal of such items.
The battery compartment must be closed when the unit is on.
When the symbol appears the stimulus is significantly reduced.
The signal gradually increases to a peak intensity level at the start of a
contraction phase (i.e. ramp up) and gradually decreases to nothing at
start of a relaxation phase (i.e. ramp down).
