Frequently Asked Questions - Slendertone Arm Toner Mode D'emploi

frequently asked questions

The stimulation is uncomfortable. How can I improve this?
• Make sure the GelPads are positioned correctly and that they are pressed firmly
against your skin - see pages 7-8. Switch off your unit and reposition the garments if
necessary.
• You can also smear a few drops of water on the black surface of the GelPads. This
can improve the comfort of the muscle stimulation, but be careful not to get water
on the unit. Ensure the unit is switched OFF before you do this!
• Ensure the metal studs are fully covered by the GelPads.
My skin is red after the exercise. Is this a problem?
• Some redness of the skin after a training 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 training intensity too high. This may
increase the reddening in sensitive skin. Try using a lower intensity for a few days. If
the problem persists, you should stop using the unit.
Will the product cause muscle soreness?
• As with all exercise some muscle soreness can occur after using your
is normal and should go away after a while. Use a low intensity for a few sessions if
you are experiencing muscle soreness.

How do I know when to replace the GelPads?
• With time the GelPads pick up skin debris and may need to be replaced as this
makes the workout less effective and less comfortable.
• You may notice the signal is weakening even if the batteries are OK. This usually
indicates that the GelPads are wearing and will soon need replacing. You can check
this by first adjusting the garments to ensure correct positioning of the GelPads. If
the problem persists, try using the unit with a new battery pack. If the signal is still
weak or uncomfortable, you should order new GelPads.
• New GelPads can be purchased online at www.slendertone.com (check for special
offers) or from the careline.
Battery performance has degraded significantly.
• After an extended period of time you may notice a degradation in the performance of
the battery in your unit. At this point you should purchase a new rechargeable battery
pack. New rechargeable battery packs can be purchased by visiting the website at
