Attaching the belt
Before each training session you should ensure that your skin is clean and free of creams or oils.
Only then can the device work optimally.
– Lay the belt down with the electrodes facing towards you.
– Moisten the electrodes and your stomach with water. Make sure that the electrode surfaces are
evenly moistened to avoid high voltage points on your skin during subsequent training.
– Place the belt around your waist such that the electrodes are positioned on your stomach. Then
close the Velcro fastener.
Take care that it is tight enough for good contact between the electrode and skin, but does not
constrict you.
If the belt is too short to fit your waist, you can use the included extension.
