be warmed by infrared rays. So
safety precautions should be
taken if you lay with joint replacements in direct contact with
the belt
. If you apply your belt pad to the other parts of your
body, there should not be a problem. But of course
if you feel
any discomfort in the implants area, it would be better to
decrease the temperature and procedure length or to turn the
belt OFF
. It is also advised that you consult your surgeon and
implant manufacturer.*
3.
Silicon implants may be warmed by infrared rays, so safety
precautions should be taken if you lay with implants in direct
contact with the belt heating pad
. If one has breast implants but
lays face-up, there should not be a problem. Usually silicon used
in medical implants is known to melt at over 200°C (392°F),
so it should not be adversely affected by infrared rays. Please,
consult your surgeon and implants manufacturer prior to use of
heat directly on implants areas.*
4. Heating of the low back or low abdomen areas of a woman’s
body during the menstrual period may temporarily increase their
menstrual discharge.
Some women endure this process to gain
the pain relief commonly associated with their cycle
, whereas
others simply choose to avoid using the belt during that time of
the month.*
5.
It is reasonable not to use the belt heating pad on your
groin area, face, head and all other areas sensitive to heat
.
If contraception is not your aim,
do not apply heat to your
genitals
.*
6.
Children may use the belt with caution and under supervision
of adults, preferably on low heat or negative ions mode only
.
Consult with the child’s pediatrician before using the FIR belt and
use common sense. Do not leave children or toddlers on the belt
without supervision. They can walk, play or jump on the belt and
damage inner sensors. Children can disconnect cables from the
belt and put them into their mouths and get shocked. Take extra
care if your child has access to the room where the belt or any
other electrical device is located.*
7.
If you use medicines applied by skin patches, you should
definitely consult your doctor
. The absorption rate of a
transdermal medication can change. If you use an adhesive, it
may also unglue from your skin due to sweating.*
8. Cats and dogs love amethyst and gemstone pads. They feel some
energies better than humans. We suggest to
have an additional
waterproof cover for the belt pad to protect it from any
liquid and make sure your pet will not chew or scratch the
cable, controller or pad. We recommend cheaper and safe
non-powered, non-electric amethyst or gemstone mats for
pets
. Consult with a veterinarian prior to use belt for heating.
Be careful with pets sleeping on the device. It should always be
turned off without supervision.*
9.
You should always drink A LOT before the procedure, during
the procedure and after the procedure
– if you feel dry mouth it
means that there is not enough water in the body. And it should
turned ON
. The controller may show “OFF” on display. It means
that either preset heating time is over or the connection between
controller and belt is lost. Try adding time, powering the controller
ON/OFF, or reconnecting it.
4. Please activate the timer button and choose one of the timer settings
for the belt to start heating.
Some models of the controllers do
not activate heating function unless a timer is set
.
5. Frequent reason for the new controller fault and errors is an
incorrect order of controller connection. Please,
first connect the
belt to the controller, and only after this plug the controller
into an electrical outlet and turn the controller ON
. When you
disconnect, first turn it OFF, then disconnect the plug from the
socket, and only after this unplug the controller from the belt.
If
you connect the controller to the power source first, the safety
program may lock it and go into safe mode
. It may start to beep
or will show OF or OP error on the screen. The same may happen
if there is a loss of signal interchange between the belt and the
controller.
To reset it just reconnect it in the correct order
.
6.
If controller shows errors, the easiest way to solve the problem
is to reset it
. Disconnect the plug from the socket first and then
from the belt connection terminal. When you disconnect the
plug from the belt, please always do it carefully with two hands,
holding the connector with one hand while the other hand pulls
the plug. Pull the plug out of the connector on the belt carefully
as well.
Do not pull it by the cable or the connection between
the belt terminal and the controller plug may become loose
.
After this always first reconnect the controller to the belt pad
tightly and then plug it into an electrical outlet again. Be sure
that the socket has electrical power, this can be tested by using
any other electrical device.
Reconnection and reset are the most common ways to
eliminate errors and reload the controller.
But if reconnection or any other way of troubleshooting do not
improve the situation, it likely means that there is a problem with
the controller. If your controller was not accidentally damaged or
flooded we will replace it ASAP, fast and free.

7.
Do not worry if your belt is not hot to touch
. The FIR Amethyst
Belt does not work like a conventional heating pad. Most of the
energy from the belt, in the form of Far Infrared Rays heat, is
transferred by radiation, and not by conduction (as is the case
with standard heating pads, which are hotter to the touch but do
not heat the body much). If the belt is left uncovered, it should
be slightly warm on lower levels, warm on medium levels and
very warm on high levels – but the transferred heating energy is
actually much higher, and this warmth is far more penetrating.
So the belt should be used on a much lower, more prudent
temperature than a standard electrical heating device – and it
demands extra care, especially for all night use.
8.
It usually takes around 30-60 minutes for the Belt to reach
the maximum temperature if you put both a thick protector
and a thick blanket on top
. The heating stops and resumes
again when the belt cools down, to maintain the set temperature.
During this time, the gems become very warm and emit radiant
Far Infrared rays. For extra electrical safety the heating wires are
positioned a short distance from the belt’s edges so that the end
tubes with crystals are heated indirectly by other stones (these
stones may have a lower temperature). The surface temperature
of the bare belt under the blanket, or under your body if you are
on the belt, becomes hot to the touch, especially in those areas
which are covered by film or mesh.
At maximum heat level It will
reach 140°-150°F on the surface, if measured immediately
after you stand up or remove the thick blanket. But if you
measure the bare belt surface temperature in several minutes
again it will be much lower, around 110-130°F
. If the belt is
uncovered, and room temperature is low or the air flow is strong,
it will cool the belt very quickly. This is normal – when preheated,
the crystals transfer most of the energy in the form of Far Infrared
Rays. Hot stones radiate heat very quickly. If you keep your belt
open without the protector pad, blanket, or your body on it, the
heat is dissipated – and though the controller may continue to
show rather high temperature inside the belt’s heating elements,
the surface will be merely warm to touch even on highest level.

TIPS: TROUBLESHOOTING
not be just water, you may need to replenish some electrolytes
and minerals as Ca, K, Mg, Na. Twitching may be a sign of these
salts’ serious deficit or imbalance so if you sweat a lot herbal
teas, fruit juices, and mineral water rich in K and Mg or mineral
supplements may be necessary. Proper hydration also promotes
all healing effects improving cellular detoxification.*
10.
Overusing the device on maximum temperature may result
in excessive stimulation
. Use moderately on high temperature.
Even if your belt can heat in a continuous mode, it is strongly
recommended not to use the high heat settings for more than
3 hours for your safety! Some temporary symptoms of organism
detoxification (healing crisis) may occur especially if you start
too fast.*
11.
Detoxification high heat program should not be done without
a doctor’s approval and supervision
. Some drugs, chemicals,
and toxins which we take into our bodies with air or food end
up getting stored in our fat tissue. They can affect you as you
mobilize them and sweat them out. Before toxins are excreted
and exit through the sweat pores they are absorbed from your
decomposed by FIR heat fat tissues into the bloodstream. While
traveling on their way to be eliminated, substances can exert the
same effects that they do when you had originally taken them.
If
a lot of residue was accumulated in your fat tissue and their
release is too fast, the buildup of these poisons can make
you feel worse. That is what is called detoxification or a
healing crisis
. If you are chemically allergic or extra sensitive,
the dangers of infrared therapy, regarding the release of toxins,
may be serious. If you feel any signs of healing crisis, stop using
the belt and consult your doctor as the same symptoms may be
also the signs of serious illness.
12. William Rea, MD, one of the most knowledgeable doctors in the
world regarding environmental toxicity and sauna detoxification,
warns: “
Uncontrolled, too-rapid mobilization can have
devastating effects on chemically sensitive patients
.” Of course
it does not mean that chemically sensitive people cannot get rid
of toxins. Just that it should be done very slowly and carefully, and
with a doctor’s supervised detox program.
Slowly and gradually
increasing heat level, session length, and frequency is the
best path forward
and It is important to immediately decrease
intensity, duration and frequency of sessions and contact your
health professional if you feel symptoms of a healing crisis.*
13. Very careful approach is appropriate to FIR heat therapy.
Our
skin sensors can easily detect the high temperature caused by
standard conduction heat, but our ability to feel the effects of
radiant infrared heat is limited
. The FIR warmth is much more
penetrating, so the belt should be used on much lower sensible
temperature than a standard heating pad, and it demands extra
care, especially for long or all-night use.
Use common sense, self-educate, listen to your body and we hope
you experience as many positive results as we have, now that you
have your own MediCrystal® belt.
1.
Ensure the electrical wall socket that you’ve plugged the belt
into is working correctly
. Plug another device into it to ensure
it has power. If it is not working, consider checking the electrical
panel as a breaker may have popped (or broken) and needs to be
reset. Or try another electrical wall socket that you have verified is
powering other devices. If you are using a surge protector, ensure
it is working properly. Plug another electrical device into and
verify that it is working.
2.
Ensure the controller’s belt plug is pushed all the way in to the
belt’s receptacle socket so that it is snug tight with no space at
all between the plug and the belt’s socket
. A loose connection
can cause loss of signal exchange between the belt and the
controller, and when too many errors accumulate the controller’s
calibration may fail. Controller will show error messages or the
belt will not heat up properly.
3.
Make sure that the power button on the controller has been
TIPS: TAKING CARE OF YOUR BELT
1. The belt should not be used outside if you are not sure about
weather and do not have protective clothing to secure it from
becoming wet.
Wear it indoors or lay on your bed, sofa,
mattress or floor
. Of course if the weather is fine, preheat the
belt for an hour and have a refreshing walk with it.
2. Sometimes controllers and even belt issues happen after power
spikes. When hurricanes or storms are approaching, if you are not
going to use your belt for a while, or if you are leaving your home
for a weekend or vacation it is better to unplug the belt from the
socket.
The best is to keep the belt unplugged from the power
socket always while it is not in use
.
3. No need to unplug the controller connector from the belt
connection terminal frequently.
If the controller always remains
connected to the belt it is OK as this only helps prevent the
connection from loosening
. Just remember to verify the tightness
of the connections from time to time, especially if you sleep on
your belt. If you have to disconnect the plug of the controller
from the belt connection terminal always do this carefully and
with both hands. Hold the connector with one hand while pulling
the plug carefully with the other hand.
If pulled by the wire it
can break, or the connection may eventually become loose
and the belt will not work correctly
.
4. Please take care of your belt and it will be your friend for a long
time. The belt is great for meditation, sleeping, and healing
procedures, if laying calm on it without a lot of movement. Never
apply pressure or step on it. Dogs and especially cats adore the
belt and can use it but this should be under your supervision.
Do not allow heavy dogs to play in the same room. Children
like to jump but it may be very harmful if they jump on the
belt. There are a lot of tiny electronic parts inside the belt such
as bimetal switches, temperature sensors, etc. Occasional acute
pressure may damage them. In order not to damage the inner
sensors and heating system electronics
avoid impact, walking,
standing, training, doing any active exercise on the belt.
Do not allow any heavy or sharp objects to be put on or fall
on it. Never fold the belt while hot, never heat it in folded
condition
.
5. Store the device in the bag provided. Consider storing the
controller and plug separately so that the sharp edge of the power
socket plug does not damage the belt’s soft leather or suede.
Do
not store the device in a humid, dusty or oily place. Store it in
a clean ventilated storage room or closet
.
