Functional
principle
of the device
The MEDISANA works on the
basis of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS). Gentle electrical impulses
stimulate the abdominal body muscles without stressing tendons or joints.
This leads to slight contractions of the muscle fibres, which may built up
the abdominal muscles "passively" (= without doing an active training).
This is helpful e.g. after surgeries for strengthening the flaccid muscles,
for deficiently or unilaterally trained muscles, tight abdominal muscles or
for warming-up. This functional principle of muscle fibre stimulation is
used since many years by professional athletes, ambitious recreational
sportsmen and in the field of rehabilitation. It improves the capacity of
the body, reduces the risk of injury and preserves mobility. The compen-
sation of muscular imbalances and the skin tightening effect lead to an
attractive body.

Inserting /
changing
batteries
Make sure, that the device is switched off. Take the display unit out of the
holder . This is more easy if you slightly press the display unit from
the rear side away from the belt and then move it upwards out of the
holder . Slide the battery compartment cover at the back of the
display unit away in arrow direction. Put the enclosed batteries (3 x type
AAA, LR03 1,5V) according to the symbols (+/-) into the base of the
battery compartment. Close the battery compartment and push the battery
compartment cover towards the device until it snaps into position.
Put back the display unit into the holder . The magnetic electrode
connections are "snapping" together with the electrode connections
of the belt . Change the batteries when the battery change symbol
appears in the display or when nothing is shown in the display after the
device is switched on. When changing the batteries, only use batteries of
the same type (3 x type AAA, LR03 1,5V).
