FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The stimulation is uncomfortable. How can I improve this?
• Make sure the gel pads are positioned correctly and that they are pressed
firmly against your skin - see pages 6-7. Switch off your controller and
reposition the garments if necessary.
• You can also smear a few drops of water on the black surface of the gel
pads. This can improve the comfort of the muscle stimulation, but be
careful not to get water on the controller. Ensure the controller is switched
OFF before you do this!
• Ensure the metal studs are fully covered by the gel pads.
My skin is red after the exercise. Is this a problem?
• Some redness of the skin after a toning session is normal. It is partly due
to an increase in the blood flow under the skin and should fade after a
while. You may also experience some reddening of the skin due to the
pressure of the garments. This is the same as the pressure marks you can
get from tight clothing. You should not be concerned about this. It should
fade soon after you remove them.
• If the redness is excessive, you may have the toning intensity too high.
This may increase the reddening in sensitive skin. Try using a lower toning
intensity for a few days. If the problem persists, you should stop using
the product.
Will the product cause muscle soreness?
• As with all exercise some muscle soreness can occur after using
SLENDERTONE
ARMS
. This is normal and should go away after a while. Use a low toning
intensity for a few sessions if you are experiencing muscle soreness.
How do I know when to replace the gel pads?
• With time the gel pads pick up skin debris and will need to be replaced, as
this makes the workout less effective and less comfortable.
• You may notice the signal is weakening even if the battery is fully charged.
This usually indicates that the gel pads are wearing and will soon need
replacing. You can check this by first adjusting the belt to ensure correct
positioning of the gel pads. If the signal is still weak or uncomfortable, you
should order new gel pads.
• New gel pads can be purchased from www.slendertone.com or from
customer care.
Can I use
SLENDERTONE
ARMS
to treat muscles weakened from lack of use
due to injury?
• Yes. The product may be used for the alleviation of or compensation for
injury. Consultation with your doctor or physiotherapist is required to
establish a rehabilitation programme with your
SLENDERTONE
ARMS
, which
would safely provide improvement to the strength and tone of the biceps
and triceps muscles.
Battery performance has degraded significantly.
• After an extended period of time you may notice a degradation in the
performance of the battery in your controller. At this point you should
purchase a new rechargeable battery pack. New rechargeable battery
packs can be purchased through the
SLENDERTONE
Careline, or by visiting
www.slendertone.com.
