When putting on your sports shirt, always remember...:
• To ensure the four electrodes are positioned over your abdomen, as indicated in this manual.
• Stimulation should not be applied across or through the head, directly on the eyes, covering the mouth, on the front of
the neck (especially the carotid sinus), on the chest and the upper back or crossing over the heart.
• Application of stimulation on or near the thorax may increase the risk of cardiac fibrillation.
• Avoid applying stimulation over or in proximity to cancerous lesions.
• Avoid any recent scars, broken or inflamed skin, areas of infection or susceptibility to acne, thrombosis or other vascular
problems (e.g. varicose veins), or any parts of the body where feeling is limited.
• Avoid areas of injury or restricted movement (e.g. fractures or sprains).
• Avoid placing the electrodes directly over metal implants.
