When placing the electrodes, always remember:
- Place the electrodes only on the muscles groups they are
designed for. Ensure the entire surface of the electrode is in
contact with the skin. Otherwise the current density may be
increased, which could cause pain and damage the skin.
- Do not connect, disconnect or tamper with the electrodes
during the workout. First turn off the device.
• Do not place electrodes on recent scars, inflamed skin,
burns, ulcers, infected areas or areas that are susceptible
to acne, thrombosis or other vascular problems (e.g. va-
ricose veins), moles or any part of your body with limited
sensitivity.
• Do not place on areas with injuries or limited mobility (e.g.
fractures or sprains).
• Do not place directly on metal implants.
• Wipe after each use.
Possible Adverse Reactions:
There have been isolated reports of skin reactions caused by
the use of electro-stimulation devices, including allergies, pro-
longed skin redness and acne.
If any of these symptoms occur, switch off the device and

Battery Installation:
• Open the battery compartment cover (batteries not inclu-
ded) on the back of the unit (1) and insert four LR20 alkaline
batteries.
Insert the four batteries in accordance with the polarity
marks indicated on the battery compartment cover.
• Replace the battery compartment cover.
Electrode placement (see Figure 1):
Use the snaps (20) to
attach the electrodes to the suit. Each electrode has one or
two snaps on the back. To attach the electrode to the suit,
snap it into place until it clicks (See Figure 4). There are three
kinds of electrodes and they should be placed as follows:
• The four small rectangular electrodes (3) should be placed
in the abdominal area of the vest (5) (stomach area).
• The four round electrodes (4) should be placed on the ad-
justable armbands (5.a).
• The large rectangular electrodes (2) should be attached to
the snaps in the area of the chest, the trapezius, the lumbar
area, the glutes, and the front and back of the thighs (see
Figure 1).
Electrode conductivity:
To ensure that Gymform® Electro Fitness Trainer works pro-
perly, it is necessary to ensure electrode conductivity. Choose
the method that works best for you from the following:
• Apply Gymform® conductive gel on each electrode.
Gymform® gel is available at the same establishment
where you purchased the Gymform® Electro Fitness Trai-
ner®.
• Use a wet sponge or cloth to moisten the part of each elec-
trode that makes contact with the skin.
• You can also wear a damp T-shirt and pair of shorts under
the Gymform® Electro Fitness Trainer suit. We recommend
wearing garments made of cotton.
Putting on the Vest (see Figure 6):
Once the electrodes are in place and their conductivity has
been ensured (see explanation in the Electrode Placement
section), put on the vest (5). Close the zip. The suit has to fit
snugly to work well. First pull on the two adjustable top straps
(5.b). Then continue moving down and adjust the adjustable
torso straps (5.d). Pull on them to adjust the vest, as shown in
Figure 6, and make sure that all the electrodes are in contact
with the skin. The vest (5) should fit snugly, but comfortably.
Then put on the armbands (5.a). Make sure the armband (5.a)
is firmly snapped to the vest (5).
Open the strip with the quick opening and closing system on
the adjustable armband. Place the armband around the upper
arm (biceps area) and attach it by threading the strap through
the plastic strap adjuster and attaching it with the quick ope-
ning and closing system strip (See Figure 8). Ensure it is firmly
attached and the electrodes are in contact with the skin. The
proper placement of the armbands (5.a) is shown in Figure 9.
Putting on the Pants:
1. While the pants (6) are completely open, hold them by the
pant belt (6.b) and wrap the pants (6) around the back of
your waist. The place for electrodes on the back should be
in the area of the glutes. Attach the pant belt (6.b) with the
quick opening and closing system strip.
2. Then grab one pant leg (6.a), wrap it around your thigh
and attach it with the quick opening and closing system
strips for pants (6.c). The pant leg (6.a) should be wrapped
around the very top part of the thigh. If it is too high, the
problem is that the pant belt (6.b) is not in the right place
