HOW TO USE BEAR™
Before using your device:
• Charge BEAR™ using the USB charging cable provided for up to 1.5 hours or until fully charged. A
fully charged BEAR™ should last for up to 90 uses, based on a 1-minute treatment time per use.
• To unlock and register your device for first time use, download the FOREO For You app. Connect to the
app via Bluetooth on your smartphone, and press the universal button on BEAR™ to sync your device to
the app and set up your microcurrent preferences.
CAUTION:
• BEAR™ must be completely dry before starting your microcurrent treatment.
• This device must be used with FOREO’s SERUM SERUM SERUM.
Directions for use:
1. Clean and dry your face and neck carefully so there is no remaining residue of any kind.
2. Apply SERUM SERUM SERUM to your skin, distributing it evenly across all the areas you wish
to treat.
3. For Pre-Set Routine: Select your preferred microcurrent treatment in the FOREO For You app.
Follow the video on the app and continue as instructed. Device will automatically switch off after
routine is complete.
For Manual Mode: i) Press the universal button to activate microcurrent. The lights underneath
the universal button indicate the microcurrent intensity setting. You can manually choose from
preselected microcurrent intensities by quick pressing the universal button once for each level,
and turn off T-Sonic™ pulsations by double pressing the universal button. To access the full
Page 3
range of microcurrent intensities, you will need to use the app. ii) Lightly press both metallic
spheres to your face, and gently glide the device across your cheekbones and forehead, around
your lips, and over your jawline and neck as desired. Make sure that both microcurrent spheres
are touching your skin at all times. Always glide the device slowly, in an upward motion, and
with light pressure for enhanced results. iii) Once you have finished your treatment, press and
hold the universal button for 3 seconds to turn off device.
4. Gently massage any remaining serum into your skin, or remove excess with a cotton pad. Apply
any other skincare products of your choice, if desired.

NOTE:
1) This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.
2) This device complies with CAN ICES-3 (B)/NMB-3(B). This device complies with Industry Canada
licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
• This device may not cause interference.
• This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of
the device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and
maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio
interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent
isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radioexempts de
licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes :
(1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est
susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement. Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada,
le présent émetteur radio peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par
Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres
utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée
équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication
satisfaisante.
Model may be changed for improvements without notice.
