Error Messages
In the unlikely event of your controller developing a
problem, "Err" will appear on the display (Fig. d). If this
occurs you should switch the controller off and then
switch it back on again. It should now operate prop-
erly. If the problem persists, please call your local
careline for further assistance (see page 2).
Battery Power / Replacing the battery
The battery icon on the display will flash when the
battery is low and needs to be recharged. After a period
of time, you may find that your battery will only power
the controller for a limited number of sessions, requiring
you to charge the battery more frequently.
Should you need to replace the rechargeable battery,
remove the small rubber plug from the back cover
of the controller (Fig. e), unscrew the back cover and
remove it. Replace the existing battery pack with a new
battery pack (Fig. f) and replace the battery cover. You
can purchase a new battery pack by contacting
Customer Care.

REQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I use
Fig. a
• Yes, but you must wait a minimum of 6 weeks after childbirth before you
begin using it and you must consult your doctor first.
• If you've had a Caesarean in the past 3 months, consult your doctor for
approval before using the belt.
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 page 6. Switch off your controller and reposition
the belt if necessary.
Fig. b • You can also smear a few drops of water on the black side 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 belt. This
Fig. c
is the same as the pressure marks you get from tight clothing. You should not
be concerned about this. It should fade soon after you remove the belt.
• 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 the belt.
This is normal and should go away after a day or two. Use a low toning
Fig. d
intensity for a few sessions if you are experiencing muscle soreness.
How do I know when to replace the 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
Fig. e
should order new gel pads.
• New gel pads can be purchased from www.slendertone.com or from
SLENDERTONE
I can feel a tingling sensation in my legs during an exercise. What should I do?
• This indicates that the gel pads are over your hip-bones. Moving the two
smaller gel pads upwards and inwards on your waist (i.e. towards the centre
of your body) should prevent this. Remember to pause or switch off your
controller before adjusting the belt or gel pads.
Fig. f I can feel my waist muscles exercising but not my stomach muscles.
• Pause the programme and reposition the central gel pad slightly lower on
your stomach. If this doesn't help, move the 2 small gel pads to a smaller
figure setting on the belt (towards the central gel pad).
I can feel my stomach muscles exercising but not my waist muscles.
• Pause the programme and reposition the central gel pad slightly higher on
your stomach. If this doesn't help, move the 2 smaller gel pads to a larger
figure setting on the belt (away from the central gel pad).
Can I 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 product, which would safely provide
improvement to the strength and tone of the abdominal 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
www.slendertone.com.
