Caring for your unit:
Your unit should not be allowed to get wet or be left in excessive sunlight. It may be cleaned
using a soft cloth, lightly dampened in soapy water. Do not allow the interior of your unit to
become wet. Do not use detergents, alcohol, spray aerosols or strong solvents on your unit.
The belt may be wiped clean, but it may not be washed.
Access to the interior of the unit is not required for maintenance purposes.
If your unit is damaged, you should not use it but should return it to
SLENDERTONE
or your local
retailer for replacement or repair. Repairs, service and modifications may not be carried out by
anyone other than qualified service personnel authorized by
SLENDERTONE
. Contact us on-line at
www.slendertoneusa.com or from our Toll Free Customer Service line at 1-800-551-2443 for re-
pairs and replacement instructions.
Note: Using leak-proof batteries is advised. You should never leave the batteries inside your
unit if you do not intend to use it for a long period of time, as they may leak and damage your
unit. You should be aware that some batteries sold as ‘leak-proof’ can still release some
corrosive substances, which may damage your unit. Under no circumstance should anything
other than the correct type of batteries (1.5V LR03/AAA) be used with your unit. You should
only insert the batteries in the manner specified in this manual.
Disposing of the GelPads and batteries:
Used GelPads and batteries must never be disposed of in a fire but in accordance with state
laws governing the disposal of such items.
Notes:
When the lights are indicating a pad contact problem, the stimulus is significantly reduced.
The signal gradually increases to a peak intensity level at the start of the contraction phase (i.e.
ramp up) and gradually decreases to nothing at the start of the relaxation phase (i.e. ramp down).
Accessories
When ordering new GelPads, you should only use those carrying the
SLENDERTONE
brand. Any
others may not be compatible with your unit and could degrade the minimum safety levels.

Description of your unit’s symbols:
There are a number of technical markings on your unit. These can be explained as follows:
Inside the battery compartment ‘+’ indicates positive polarity and ‘-’ indicates negative polarity.
The way in which the battery should be positioned is also indicated by the embossed battery
outlines in the base of the compartment.
The unit is manufactured for Bio-Medical Research Ltd., Parkmore Business Park West, Galway,
Ireland.
The unit requires 3 x 1.5V (LR03/AAA) DC batteries. DC is indicated by the symbol:
The Output Frequency indicates the number of pulses per second transmitted by the unit. This
is measured in hertz, which is indicated by “Hz”.
Output (RMSA) means the max. output root mean square current for each channel, measured
into a resistive load.
Output (RMSV) means the max. output root mean square voltage for each channel, measured
into a resistive load.
This symbol means “Attention, consult the accompanying documents”.
This symbol means type BF equipment.
SN stands for “serial number”.
Inside the box is the serial number specific to this unit. The letter preceding the number indicates
the year of manufacture, where “A” denotes 2002, “B” denotes 2003 etc.
