EMERGENCY STOP: Press the "ON/OFF" button ( ) located
on each motor.
THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS
To strengthen and/or to maintain muscle strength.
To ease muscular tensions.
To prevent muscular atrophy and to treat pain.
CONTRA-INDICATIONS: Do not use this device :
on the heart area
If you carry a pacemaker .............
If you are pregnant ............................
during rst 6 weeks after baby birth
In case of neuromuscular diseases
In case of hemorrhagic diseases.
Ask for advice from your physician :
if you have electronic or metallic implants (pins, etc.)
in case of skin condition (wounds,…)
PRECAUTIONS OF USE :
Do not use the appliance on your face or your neck.
Keep away from children.
Apply a complete charging cycle if the device is not
used for an extended period.
Do not repeat two sessions on the same muscle area
(max. 40 min., not applicable for HEALTH programs).
If you have several FREE ACTION devices, make sure
you use the motors connected to the active remote
control.
Do not use by driving or by working on a machine.
Do not use this electro stimulation unit in a damp
environment, a bathroom, a sauna, or close to electric
machinery connected to mains and earthed, or even
piping earthed.
The simultaneous connection of a patient to a high
frequency surgical unit may cause burns at the points
of contact of the stimulator’s electrodes, and the stimu-
lator may be damaged.
Operation in close proximity of a short wave therapy
unit may cause instability in the stimulator’s output
power.
Keep the appliance away from children.
Free Action is an electro-medical device. It requires spe-
cial caution regarding EMC and must be installed and
set up according to EMC information provided in this
document. Portable and mobile RF devices communi-
cations can aect medical electrical equipment. This
device should not be used adjacent to or stacked with
other equipment with them. In case of it is not possible
to do otherwise, it is convenient to check the device
while it is running to make sure that it works normally
in chosen conguration. The operation of FREE ACTION
may undergo interferences due to other devices, even if
those fulll the requirements of emission of the CISPR.
WARNING :


SPORT PROGRAM CATEGORIES
01. PREPARATION FORMUSCULARTRAINING
Lowers the impedance of the skin barrier. Prepares
your muscles for the currents emitted by the
programs.
Duration: 2 min active phases
02. MUSCLE TRAINING
Deep muscle training, ideal to start with this program.
Duration: 40 min active phase + 6 min recovery
03. MUSCLE SUPPORT
To work out fit muscles for additional training and
improvement of muscle tone.
Duration: 20 min active phase + 6 min recovery
04. MUSCLE RESISTANCE
Muscle training for athletes to strengthen muscles and
to improve performance.
Duration: 30 min active phase + 6 min recovery
05. MUSCLE ENDURANCE
After using the“Muscle resistance”program category
move to this major training, program to stimulate slow
fibers for further strengthening.
Duration: 30 min active phase + 6 min recovery
06. MUSCLE FITNESS
Use this program category to maintain the training
level.
Duration: 30 min active phase + 6 min recovery
07. EXPLOSIVE FORCE
This category is a logical extension of categories 03
and 04. It allows reaching maximum muscle strength
by stimulating very high speed fibres, with maximum
contraction intensity.
Duration: 30 min active phase + 6 min recovery
08. RECOVERY
Using a frequency range between 0.5 and 8 Hz, this
category ensures fast relaxation and cool.
Duration: 20 min active phase
HEALTH & RELAXATION PROGRAM CATEGORIES
09. MUSCLE STIMULATION
this program category uses frequencies modulated
between 3 and 10 Hz for optimum effect..
Duration: 20 min active phase.
10. MUSCLE RELAXING
the frequency range between 0.25 and 3.5 Hz of this
program category accelerates muscle relaxing.
Duration: 20 min active phase.
11. ACTIVE RECOVERY
Use this program immediately after performing
intense efforts. All frequencies generated by this
category maintain some muscle work out after
training, enhancing cool down speed. Each of these
frequency sequences is alternated with a relaxing
effect. Duration: 20 min active phase.
12. MUSCLE RELEASE
this program delivers a releasing range of stimulations
in the local area where the electrodes are placed.
Duration: 20 min active phase.
13. ACTIVE RELEASE
This program relieves muscle tight effectively.
Duration: 20 min active phase.
14. FLOWING RELEASE
This program relieves muscles with a flowing
stimulation feeling for maximum effect..
Duration: 26 min active phase.
