• Do not switch the controller on until it has been correctly inserted into the holster on the belt (except when Pairing).
• Do not touch the GelPads or metal studs with your fingers while the controller is switched on.
• Do not use while driving, operating machinery or cycling.
• Keep GelPads and packaging out of reach of children, to avoid risk of choking.

will not accept responsibility if the guidelines and instructions supplied with this product are not followed.
• Although compliant with applicable EMC requirements, this device may still interfere with more sensitive equipment,
please move away or switch off.
• Keep this device out of the reach of pets or pests.
Possible adverse reactions:
• A small number of isolated skin reactions have been reported by people using muscle stimulation devices,
including skin allergies, a prolonged reddening of the skin and acne.
• If allergic reactions last for several hours, you should stop using the product as this product may not be suitable for you.
• On very rare occasions, first-time users of EMS have reported feeling light-headed or faint. We recommend that
you use the product while seated until you become accustomed to the sensation. For first time users, muscle
stimulation can be an unusual sensation. We recommend that you begin with low stimulation intensities to familiarize
yourself with the sensation before progressing to higher stimulation intensities.
N.B. If you are in any doubt about using
SLENDERTONE
for any reason, please consult your doctor before use.

When applying the GelPads and belt, always remember...:
• To place the GelPads and belt ONLY on the 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 GelPads directly over metal implants.
Precautions:
Please read these precautions before using your
SLENDERTONE CONNECT ABS
product.
• Do not use
SLENDERTONE CONNECT ABS
in or near water, including a bathtub, shower, hot tub or swimming pool.
• Caution should be used in the following:
- When there is a tendency to haemorrhage following acute trauma or fracture;
- Following recent surgical procedures when electronic stimulation may disrupt the healing process;
- Over areas of skin which lack normal sensation.
• Your
SLENDERTONE
product is not intended for medical use, for the treatment of any medical condition, nor for any
permanent physical changes.
• Always allow two hours for the controller to cool down between stimulation sessions. During normal use the controller
generates a small amount of heat and tests have shown that in extreme conditions this can cause a temperature rise up to
3°C/5.4°F under the belt at the controller location. At high ambient temperatures, close to 40° C/ 104°F, care is needed to
avoid prolonged exposure to this increased temperature.
Please get your doctor’s or physical therapist’s permission before using
SLENDERTONE CONNECT ABS
if:
• You wish to use the belt and have a bad back. You should also ensure the intensity is kept low.
• You have any serious illness or injury not mentioned in this guide.
• You have a tendency to bleed internally, such as following an injury or fracture.
• You take insulin for diabetes.
• You suffer from muscle or joint problems.
• You use the product as part of a rehabilitation program.
To reposition the belt or GelPads during a session:
• Always pause the programme currently running, unfasten the belt and then refasten it behind your back once the
position of the GelPads has been adjusted.
Contact your local careline (see page 6) if:
• Your product is not working correctly. Do not use it in the meantime.
• You experience any irritation, skin reaction, hypersensitivity or other adverse reaction. You should, however, note that
some reddening of the skin can appear under the GelPads during and for a short time after a session.
