3. INTENDED USE
The device is intended to be used for electrical muscle
stimulation.
4. INTENDED PURPOSE
The ANTELOPE series stimulates the healthy muscles to
improve performance of human body or general well be-
ing. It is intended to be used by healthy adults.
5. INDICATIONS
The ANTELOPE.SUIT is intended to stimulate healthy
muscles in order to improve or facilitate muscle perfor-
mance. It is to be used by adults only.
Depending on the parameters of the electrical impuls-
es (pulse frequency, duration of contraction, duration
of rest, total session duration), dierent types of muscle
work can be imposed on the stimulated muscles.
Only use the ANTELOPE.SUIT when fully regenerated.
Follow our workout instructions and also work out with-
out the ANTELOPE.SUIT regularly (at least every fth ses-
sion).
6. CONTRAINDICATIONS
Before using the ANTELOPE.SUIT please consult a physi-
cian to make sure you are in good health and t.
The following points should be taken into account. If one
or even more of these apply to you, you must not use the
ANTELOPE.SUIT for safety reasons
• You have a cardiac pacemaker or other electrical
implant(s)
• You are pregnant
• You have a severe neurological, cardiovascular
or tumour diseases
• You have a serious disease (i.e. fever, infections,
inammations)
• You have muscle ache / soreness
• You have muscle spasms
Do not use the ANTELOPE.SUIT on injured skin or to
stimulate the muscles of an aicted limb or joint.
A possible side-eect of unfamiliar and intensive train-
ing is damage to the muscle tissue. This comes with the
partial loss of strength, delayed muscle soreness and a
signicant increase of muscle protein levels (e.g. cre-
atine kinase levels) found in the blood. Especially after
the rst intense training sessions with the ANTELOPE.
SUIT there is a heightened risk of muscular damage.
These problems shall not occur if you closely follow our
workout instructions.
The following points may indicate serious damage to
the muscle tissue (rhabdomyolysis). If you nd your-
self displaying one of these symptoms please contact
a physician:
• Brown urine
• Myalgia (severe muscular pain)
• Extreme swelling of the muscle
7. TECHNOLOGY
The ANTELOPE.SUIT is the evolution of the already
proven EMS technology. The natural muscle contrac-
tion is supported by electrical impulses with this train-
ing method. Muscle contractions are triggered by an
external electric stimulus transmitted via the elec-
trodes which are integrated into the ANTELOPE.SUIT.

8. SCOPE OF SUPPLY
8.1 ANTELOPE.SUIT
The fabric of the ANTELOPE.SUIT consists of 54% poly-
amide, 36% polypropylene and 10% elastane. Each
SUIT includes sixteen silicone electrodes integrated
into the compression fabric. The textile aligns ideally
to the body shape thanks to the elasticity of the fabric.
Furthermore, due to the compressive eect it can be
ensured that the electrodes will stay in the right posi-
tion, providing functional and comfortable stimulation.
A baseplate with magnetic buttons connects the textile
with the ANTELOPE.8C-BOOSTER. ANTELOPE.SUITs are
only intended for training your shoulder, upper arm,
chest, abs, back, buttocks, upper front and back leg
muscles.
8.2 ANTELOPE.8C-BOOSTER
The ANTELOPE.8C-BOOSTER is the energy source of
the system and connects with the ANTELOPE.SUIT via
an baseplate on the side of the shirt. It triggers the elec-
trical impulses which enhance the natural muscle con-
traction. To control the whole system in a convenient
way, the BOOSTER is connected to the ANTELOPE.APP
via Bluetooth. With this APP you can choose a suitable
stimulation program before you start your workout
and regulate each channel independently. The impulse
intensity of all channels can also be controlled with the
BOOSTER. This device can control up to eight muscle
groups at the same time.
8.3 Charging Cable
The BOOSTER can be charged easily with a micro USB
cable when it is plugged into a computer or laptop or
with an adapter into an outlet.
Please ensure that the outlet or any other power
source is not stronger than one ampere before using
a charger with it.

9. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The ANTELOPE.SUIT is equipped with electrodes
placed on your shoulders, upper arms, chest, abs,
back, buttocks, upper front and back legs. Especially
runners and athletes that train their tness with their
own bodyweight are able to increase their core perfor-
mance during training. Strength athletes, too, greatly
rely on their core stability to eciently perform exer-
cises with proper form.
The system is controlled by the ANTELOPE.APP through
a smartphone or tablet. Please ensure that you have
downloaded the APP before you start your training.
9.1 Putting on the ANTELOPE.SHIRT
1. Open the three zippers of the SHIRT - one on
each side and one in the middle.
2. Put on the SHIRT and make sure that the elec-
trodes lie at on your skin without folds or
wrinkles.
3. Close the zippers.
NOTE: The electrodes must be placed directly onto the
skin. Excessive hair growth or extremely dry skin can
aect the stimulation. Ensure that the electrodes are
placed directly on the targeted muscle.
9.2 Putting on the ANTELOPE.SHORTS
1. Put on the SHORTS and make sure that the
electrodes lie at on your skin without folds or
wrinkles.
NOTE: The electrodes must be placed directly onto the
skin. Excessive hair growth or extremely dry skin can
aect the stimulation. Ensure that the electrodes are
placed directly on the targeted muscle.
9.3 Connecting SUIT and BOOSTER
1. On the back of the BOOSTER there is a grid of
buttons. Hanging from your shorts there is a
connector with buttons. To connect the two,
place the shorts connector on the lower-most
buttons of the BOOSTER.
2. On the side of your shirt there is another grid
of buttons – this is the baseplate. To connect
your shirt to the BOOSTER, place the Booster
on the baseplate.

10. THE TRAINING PROGRAMS
10.1 Warm Up
In order to optimally prepare for your training, we’ve
created this warm up program. This program can be
used while you’re moving or passively while you’re sit-
ting. Just 10 minutes with this low intensity program
and you’re ready to go.
How to use this program:
• Exercises: loose movements, for example:
5 minutes light jogging (to get circulation going)
5 minutes mobilisation and dynamic stretching
• Suggested training time: 10 minutes before
every training session
• After Warm Up: Use “Strength” or “Endurance”
training program with your ANTELOPE.SUIT.
Parameters:
• Frequency: 60 Hz
• Impulse Width: 250 µs
• Impulse Type: constant impulse
• Strength of stimulation feels like: approx. 5/10
NOTE: This program is designed to prepare your body
for an intense workout, so the stimulation intensity in
general feels signicantly lower than the intensity in
the training programs.
10.2 Endurance
5km, 10km or even a marathon – no matter what your
goals are, this training program will help you improve
your endurance. The scientically optimized stimula-
tion parameters are set up to ensure that your move-
ments won’t be too strongly inuenced by the stimula-
tion. This allows you to continue your workout without
compromising movement quality, enabling optimal
adaptation.
How to use this program:
• Exercises: Endurance training, primarily
through walking/jogging/running
• Suggested training time: 10 minutes for the
rst 3 training sessions. After that, you can in-
crease the training time each time you workout
by 10 minutes until you reach a total of 60 min-
utes.
• Cool Down: relaxed jogging or walking without
any stimulation (5-10 minutes), where appro-
priate followed by stretching.
• After using the Endurance program: Use the
Recovery/Massage Program
• Suggested number of training sessions per
week: depending on the intensity and duration,
up to 4 training sessions are possible (as a
general rule, every fth workout should be con-
ducted without electrical stimulation)
Parameters:
• Frequency: 40 Hz
• Impulse Width: 400 µs
• Impulse Type: constant impulse
• Strength of stimulation feels like: approx. 6/10
