application. Programs A to E differ in their frequency, period of the training pulses, pause between
the training pulses.
The device is set with a training plan so it works through the programs A to E and repeats each
program a different number of times. You can select the program yourself however.
How to train correctly
What you feel when training
At the beginning of the training session you will feel a slight tingling sensation. With increasing inten-
sity you will feel muscle contractions in the surrounding area and directly under the electrodes.
Each contraction starts with a slow rise in voltage; this is held for several seconds at the set intensi-
ty. The muscle then relaxes again gently.
Switching on the device
Press the On/Off switch. A short signal sounds and the LCD lights up. Program A is activated the
first time the device is started.
Selecting the program
The abdominal toning belt has five coordinated programmes, which you can work through over the
course of several weeks. You start the first week with program A at a low level and raise the level of
your training with increasing muscle strengthening. The stomach muscle belt is set such that after a
certain number of training cycles the next higher program is automatically set. You can also select
the program yourself according to your well-being and fitness level.
Observing the training cycle
Each training session consists of three phases:
– a warm up phase (30 Hz) of two minutes duration, which prepares the muscles for training
– a training phase (at a different frequency depending on the training program)
– a relaxation phase (30 Hz) of two minutes during which the muscles can relax again
Program Running time [min] Repetitions Training frequency [Hz]
A 22 4 45 / 60
B 22 4 60 / 80
C 22 8 45
D 31 16 60
E 31 continuous 80
Setting the intensity level
Note: The intensity can only be set if the electrodes have skin contact.
You have to set the intensity level at the beginning of each training session. Press the intensity
selection key to increase the intensity and intensity selection key . to reduce the intensity.
Depending on the intensity, you will firstly feel tingling and later a muscle contraction. Only set the
intensity as high as it still feels pleasant for you.
Stopping pulses that are too strong
You can reduce the intensity at any time or switch off the device again by pressing the On/Off key
(~ 2 seconds). If you pull the belt away from your stomach so the skin contact in the electrode regi-
on is interrupted, the intensity level automatically returns to zero. If contact is reestablished with the
skin no more voltage is applied.
