Switching on the device
Press the On/Off switch. A short signal sounds and the LCD lights up. Program A is activated the
first time the device is started.
Selecting the program
The abdominal toning belt has five coordinated programmes, which you can work through over the
course of several weeks. You start the first week with program A at a low level and raise the level of
your training with increasing muscle strengthening. The stomach muscle belt is set such that after a
certain number of training cycles the next higher program is automatically set. You can also select
the program yourself according to your well-being and fitness level.
Observing the training cycle
Each training session consists of three phases:
– a warm up phase (30 Hz) of two minutes duration, which prepares the muscles for training
– a training phase (at a different frequency depending on the training program)
– a relaxation phase (30 Hz) of two minutes during which the muscles can relax again

Setting the intensity level
Note: The intensity can only be set if the electrodes have skin contact.
You have to set the intensity level at the beginning of each training session. Press the intensity se-
lection key to increase the intensity and intensity selection key
Depending on the intensity, you will firstly feel tingling and later a muscle contraction. Only set the
intensity as high as it still feels pleasant for you.
Stopping pulses that are too strong
You can reduce the intensity at any time or switch off the device again by pressing the On/Off key
(~ 2 seconds). If you pull the belt away from your stomach so the skin contact in the electrode regi-
on is interrupted, the intensity level automatically returns to zero. If contact is reestablished with the
skin no more voltage is applied.
Avoiding unwanted pulse changes
To avoid inadvertently increasing the intensity of a training session, simply switch on the key lock.
Press the program selection key for around 3 seconds for this purpose (3). An acoustic signal sounds
and the " " symbol appears on the display. To deactivate the key lock press the key once more.
Reacting to unpleasant sensations
If you feel prickling or itching on your skin even if, at this stage, you only notice a tingling and not
muscle contraction, you should switch off the device and proceed as follows:
– Check whether the electrodes are OK or if they are defective.
– Check whether the round cover over the electrode connections is still in place.
– Take the belt off and completely moisten it again.
– Ensure good skin contact and good moistening the next time the belt is applied.
