STEP GUIDE
INSERTING THE BATTERY
1. The battery compartment is located on the back of your unit. To open the
compartment, slide the cover off with your thumb in the direction of the arrow (
).
Insert the new battery as shown by the direction indicator printed on the base of
the compartment (Fig. a).
2. The battery symbol ( ) will appear on the display at all times during opera-
tion. As its power decreases, the 3 bars on the battery symbol disappear one by
one. The outline of the battery symbol will flash to indicate when it needs to be
replaced. Remove the old battery by placing your thumb against the bottom and
lifting it out. You should only use high-quality, 9V alkaline batteries to operate your
Slendertone Total Body Massage unit.
RUNNING A SESSION
1. Insert the leads into the sockets on the base of the unit (Fig. b). The leads are
designed to be held firmly in place once inserted. Attach a pad to each lead (Fig.
c).
2. Remove the liners from the adhesive side of each pad (Fig. d) and position the
pads correctly (see pad placement information on pages 8-9). Keep the liners safe,
as you will need them at the end of the session.
3. If necessary, secure the limb(s) to be worked on before using your unit (Fig. e).
Otherwise relax on your bed and enjoy a Slendertone Total Body Massage pro-
gramme.
4. Switch on your Slendertone Total Body Massage unit by pressing the On/ Off
button for two seconds (Fig. f ).
5. Press the Programme button to select your chosen massage. You cannot change
a programme during a session.
6. Increase the intensity and you should initially feel a tingling in the area of the
pads. As the intensity is increased, more muscle fibres are stimulated, so you should
feel a strong, comfortable contraction and may see visible muscle movement. Do
not exceed your comfort level, though. Reduce the intensity if it becomes
uncomfortable. Press the lock button to prevent accidental changes to the intensity.
Note:
We recommend you begin at intensity 15 and increase as you get used to
using Total Body Massage to a level that is comfortable for you.

PAUSING A SESSION
If you wish to pause a session at any point, briefly press the On/ Off button and
the stimulation will stop. Briefly press the same button a second time to un-pause
the programme.
USING THE TRIGGER
If you wish to vary the pre-set contraction-relaxation cycle, you can use the Trigger
to control the length of a contraction. Once a contraction has reached its peak,
press and hold the Trigger button (Fig. a) to maintain that contraction for as long
as you wish. Once you release the Trigger, the unit will enter the relaxation cycle.
Important:
You should never hold the Trigger for an excessive length of time and should
always ensure that you have sufficient relaxation periods. If you hold the Trigger
for too long without allowing your muscles to relax sufficiently, the exercise can
become gradually less effective, as the muscles can fatigue quickly.
FINISHING THE SESSION
The session will stop automatically at the end of each programme’s pre-set treat-
ment time. Remove the pads and replace them on their protective liners. Store
your unit in the pouch provided until your next Slendertone Total Body Massage session.
Note:
You should only do one session per day on any single body area.
