5. Using the unit for the first time and changing the batteries
Putting on the belt
Before each use, ensure that your skin is clean and free of creams or oils.
Only in this way the unit can work optimally.
• Lay out the belt before you with the electrodes facing you.
• Moisten the electrodes and your back with water. Ensure that the elec-
trode surfaces are moistened evenly to avoid localised voltage peaks
when they are applied to your skin.
• Fit the belt around your waist so that the vertical seams A are at the
same place on each side of your body. The Beurer logo B is then in the
middle of the spinal column.
See the diagram.
When positioned correctly, the electrodes C are slightly to the left and right of your spinal column.
• Then, close the Velcro fastener.
Ensure that the belt fits tightly enough to provide a good contact between the electrodes and your skin, but
does not constrict.
Extending the belt
If the belt is not adequate for your waistline, you can use the extension belt provided. Depending on your
waistline, the holder for the control unit may be away from the centre of your body. It is important that the
belt is positioned correctly, therefore the electrodes C must be to the left and right of the spinal column.
Inserting the control unit
• Insert the control unit into the holder on the belt.
• The operating keys should be facing outwards and the display should be
facing upwards and towards you.
• If inserted correctly, the control unit clicks into the holder.
Automatic shutoff
If the unit is not used after being switched on, it switches off automatically
after 3 minutes.
Changing the batteries
If the battery status indicator [6] flashes, it is time to change the
batteries. To insert or replace batteries,
you have to remove the control unit from the holder of the belt.
• Release the magnetic connection by gently pulling the control unit
away from the belt. You can feel the magnetic connection of the two
contact buttons unsnap.
• Pull the unit upwards and out of the holder.
• Open the battery compartment [4] by pushing the cover downwards
at the arrow mark.
