: 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. If you do, the batteries may leak
and damage your unit. You should be aware that some batter-
ies sold as ‘leak-proof’ can still release some corrosive sub-
stances, which may damage your unit. Under no circumstance
should anything other than the correct type of batteries (1.5V,

03/AAA) be used with your unit. You should only insert the

batteries in the manner specified in this manual.

Disposing of the pads and batteries:
Used pads and batteries must never be disposed of in a fire but
in accordance with your country’s national laws governing the
disposal of such items.

When the symbol is flashing 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 start of the relaxation phase (i.e. ramp
down).

Accessories
When ordering new pads, 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.

Parkmore Business Park West, Galway, Ireland.

The unit requires three 1.5 volt (

03) 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.

This symbol on your

‘Dos’ and ‘Don’ts’

Your

SLENDERTONE FLEX BT

is suitable for use by all healthy

women. However, as with other forms of exercise, some
care is needed when using it, so always follow the
guidelines below and read the support pack before use.

Please do not use if:
• You have an electronic implant (e.g. cardiac

pacemaker) or suffer from any other heart problem.

• You are pregnant.
• You suffer from cancer, epilepsy or are under medical

supervision for cognitive dysfunction.

• The unit is in close proximity (e.g. 1m) to shortwave or

microwave therapy equipment.

• You are connected to high-frequency surgical

equipment.

Please wait before using any

SLENDERTONE

products until:

• At least six weeks after the birth of your baby

(and please consult your doctor first).

• One month after an IUD contraceptive device

(e.g. coil) has been fitted.

• At least three months after having a Caesarean

(you must consult your doctor first).

• The heavy days of your period have finished.

Please get your doctor’s permission before using your

SLENDERTONE FLEX BT

shorts if:

• You wish to use

SLENDERTONE FLEX BT

shorts 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 recently had an operation.
• You take insulin for diabetes.
• You want to use it on a young child.
• You suffer from muscle or joint problems.
• Using the device as part of a rehabilitation programme.

When applying the pads and shorts, always remember
to:
• Put on the pads and shorts ONLY as indicated in this

support pack.

• Avoid placing the pads on the front or sides of the

neck, across or through the heart (i.e. one pad on the
front of the chest and one on the back), on the genitals
or on the head. (Other

SLENDERTONE

units are available

for other areas of the body – details are available from
your stockist)

• 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 pads directly over metal implants.

They may be placed on the nearest muscle.

Possible adverse reactions:
• A small number of isolated skin reactions have been

re p o rted by people using muscle stimulation devices,
including allergies, a prolonged reddening of the skin
and acne.

To reposition the pads during a session:
• Always pause the programme currently running,

unfasten the hook and loop straps on the shorts and
then re-fasten them once the pads’ position has been
adjusted.

After strenuous exercise or exertion:
• Always use a lower intensity to avoid muscle fatigue.

Contact

SLENDERTONE

or an authorised distributor if:

• Your unit is not working correctly. Do not use in the

meantime.

• You experience any irritation, skin reaction,

hypersensitivity or other adverse reaction. You should,
however, note that some reddening of the skin is quite
normal under the shorts during and for a short time
after an exercise.

Note:
• An effective treatment should not cause undue

discomfort.

Important:
• Keep your unit out of the reach of children.
• The studs and pads must not be connected to other

objects.

• Do not use your unit at the same time as any other

device which transfers an electrical current into the
body (e.g. another muscle stimulator).

• Do not touch the pads or metal studs while the unit is

switched on.

• Do not use while driving or operating machinery.
• Your

SLENDERTONE FLEX BT

unit should not be used with a

garment from any other
