Dear user,
We are pleased that you have chosen the CellAir® Gecko. This micropro-
cessor-controlled hypoxicator is an excellent choice for carrying out inter-
val hypoxic-hyperoxic training (IHHT) with the Made in Germany quality
rating!
Please read these operating instructions carefully before using the
CellAir® Gecko for the fi rst time. Keep this manual carefully for future
reference, make it available to other users and follow the instructions
below.
With kind regards,
Your CELLGYM-Team
INTRODUCTION
Interval hypoxic training restores
vitality!
More energy, more out of life
Interval hypoxic-hyperoxic training (IHHT) works in a similar way to the
proven altitude training for athletes and improves your performance.
In contrast to altitude training, CellAir® Gecko uses a controlled training
hypoxia (17% - 9% oxygen) and a hyperoxia (32% - 34% oxygen) at inter-
vals at normal air pressure.
This means that, during your training, you sometimes breathe air with
more oxygen and sometimes with less. Unlike altitude training, the entire
training session is carried out comfortably when lying down or half-sitting,
in complete relaxation.
The CellAir® Gecko automatically determines the optimal training stimulus
for you using a programmed test system, so that optimum results are
achieved and the side eff ects of a period spent at high altitude are comple-
tely avoided.
The average duration of a training session is 40 minutes. A course of 15 to
20 training sessions is recommended.

SAFETY REGULATIONS
Important information
Please observe the following
instructions very carefully.
Prerequisites
General
information
Before switching on the CellAir® Gecko for the fi rst time, this manual must
be carefully read and understood. In case of improper use or maintenance
of the system, the manufacturer is not responsible for direct or indirect
damage to the material or persons involved. If required, we can off er
appropriate training. Please contact us directly or register at http://cellair-
gecko.de/welcome or use the “Info Portal” menu item in your CellAir®
Gecko app.
The CellAir® Gecko is a sophisticated training device whose production is
subject to constant quality controls. Careful handling and regular main-
tenance is essential to ensure safe use of the device. The manufacturer
recommends that the equipment and accessories are inspected both on
receipt and before each use to ensure that the equipment is in good condi-
tion and safe use is guaranteed.
Before commissioning the system, make sure that:
• The CellAir® Gecko is standing on a fl at, stable surface and the air
circulation is not restricted by a carpet or similar;
• The CellAir® Gecko is put into operation in a room where constant
temperatures of more than 10 degrees Celsius are prevalent;
• The power supply is plugged into the wall socket and the power cable
is connected to the CellAir® Gecko. If a power outlet switch is
present, make sure that it is switched on;
•You have switched on the CellAir® Gecko. The switch is located on
the back of the unit.
The CellAir® Gecko must not be stored below 0 degrees Celsius!
The CellAir® Gecko may only be operated with original parts off ered by
the manufacturer of this unit. There is a high safety risk if unsuitable ac-
cessories are used.

The CellAir® Gecko hypoxicator is the innovative “heart” of your train-
ing system. It produces breathing air with different concentrations of
oxygen and can enrich the ambient air (20.9% O2 content = normoxia)
with oxygen, so that the breathing air provided has an oxygen level of
up to 34% (= hyperoxia). It also produces breathing air that is compa-
rable to the oxygen intake at different sea levels and corresponds to
an oxygen concentration of between 9-17% (= hypoxia).
SCOPE OF DELIVERY
Included in delivery is a brand name tablet with pre-installed CellAir®
Gecko app to control the CellAir® Gecko hypoxicator.
If required, you can install the CellAir® Gecko app on other devices (e.g.
smartphone or your own tablet). To do so, you can download the CellAir®
Gecko app from the Google Play Store or App Store. To fi nd the app, sim-
ply enter “CellAir” or “Cellgym” as a search term.

The CellAir® Gecko app can communicate with the CellAir® Gecko hypoxi-
cator in 2 ways. In direct mode, the CellAir® Gecko hypoxicator serves as
an access point (base station) and communicates directly with your end
device (tablet/smartphone). However, the preferred connection is integra-
tion in your WLAN network. Please have your WLAN access password
ready for integration in your WLAN network. This is usually located on the
housing of your WLAN router.
